The unpacking and OCD organizing continues at Snug Bug Texas. I spent most of last night trying to get the sewing room in order, but earlier this week I was all about my pantry. Now… a word about my pantry, my house in general and the real estate market in Dallas. It’s crazy pants,...

Morning monkeys! I’m keeping up with my theme of non-sewing blogging, so if you’re hoping to see a finished sewing project you’re out of luck. Even though I’m not sewing I AM trying to get my sewing room organized. “Trying” being the operative word, as I continue to be very easily distracted by, you...

OK, OK. No dirty laundry. Just last night’s project: organizing our new laundry room. I have an unseemly interest in seeing the insides of YOUR closets, so I figure at least some of you are probably interested in seeing mine! Unpacking continues at a slow pace with both Mr. Bug and I working during...

Alright folks. I’ve made the complete switch to batty house lady. I spend all of my time working, unpacking, organizing or surfing the interwebs, trolling for photos of inspirational decor. That has become my life over the last few weeks. Luckily, I’ve been in this place before and I know that in a few...

Morning folks! Things continue swimmingly down here in Texas. Although, speaking of which, I’ve yet to find any of my bathing suits, so I haven’t actually gone swimming in our new pool, although I like to dangle my feet in it during little work breaks. Truth is, the water is too cold for my...

Greetings gorillas! I’m back with more non-sewing news. Today I’m all about craigslist. Actually, this week I’ve been all about craigslist. Mr. Bug and I spent a very satisfying Saturday tooling around Minneapolis and the surrounding suburbs picking up battered furniture to stuff into the 1800 extra square feet that we will shortly be...

Greetings owls! Hunters of the night and silent fliers. Put down those mouse snacks! I can’t stand watching you eat live mice! I’ve crawled out of the woodwork to peek around, say hi, and give you an update. Plus, I didn’t want any of you to worry and report me missing to the American...

Good morning bear cubs! I am happy to report we FINALLY listed our sweet little house for sale on Monday. Whew. It’s been a whole lotta painting up in here and I’m happy that it’s finally out there. I can relax and focus on making sure I catch up with my scattered collection of...

Morning you nest building egrets! I’m not sure if it’s the weather or the effects of OD’ing on garment sewing over the last week, but I find myself in the sewing state of near-zero inclination to sew my next garment, coupled with an obsession for finally redoing the textiles in my living room. I’ve...

Morning you inquisitive walrus! Walruses? Walri? What does one call a pack of walrus? As promised I’m back today with barely a post at all. In keeping with my copy-the-chain store thing I kicked off with yesterday’s Anthro post, today I’m back showing off my haul of ‘novelty’ ticking that I got from Hancock...

Morning meerkats! I enjoy your natural curiosity. And your willingness to attack the youngsters if they are annoying you. Pressed for time, and yet missing all ya’ll, I thought we’d play a game of lameball, wherein I rushed around the house snapping photos of my haphazard weekend projects. At 11 o’clock at night. Because I’m...

Morning honey badgers. I know you just don’t give a damn and you can run backwards, but put down your delicious snakes for a minute and take a look at what came to live in our basement this week! Yay! I finally got a cutting mat and it makes everything so awesome I’ve already...

Morning hoppy little bunnies, teasers of basset hounds and gobblers of my garden. Today we are veering far, far away from the primary topic of this blog to talk about my garden and the giant amount of herbs currently in my possession. I know I’ve posted photos before, but our yard is very small...

Morning you brightly colored koi! Your little cousins, the goldfish, were here yesterday. You guys sure are a lot more flashy! I think it’s super cute that you come when called. Yesterday’s project was my pressing board! I’ve hemmed and hawed a lot about this project a lot over the last two weeks, and...

Morning wooly mammoths! I knew you weren’t extinct! I just knew it! More sewing room stuff today, although sharp peepers may be able to spy the dress that I finished this weekend! But, since the cutting table doesn’t have to do his or her hair and get pictures during the late afternoon when the...

A little bit of sewing, some how tos, vintage love and a quest for the perfect fit. Hi! I’m Patty, a thirty-something living in Minneapolis with a cute little house, husband and basset hound, 3 cozy snug bugs.
