Hi! I'm Patty, a 30-something and a recent transplant from Minneapolis to Texas. Read along as I get used to life in the suburbs, nest in a new home and sew my way through Dallas.
Alright, marmots. Rampant rumors aside, I’m here to tell you that I am NOT dead, trapped under a pile of craigslist finds or detained in my sewing room, fingers stitched securely to my skirt and/or pigtails. None of those claims are true, and I (or my faithful spammers – “great article! keep up the...

Cheater post! Twitter and/or Instagram followers will recognize most of these, but the charming commentary is all new… a little catch up on what I’ve been up to so far since arriving in Texas. Instagram style. At the end of the last Insta-update, we’d made our way from closing on our new house (and the...

Morning rubber duckies! I’m happy to let all y’all know that we MADE IT to Texas. Whew. We arrived last Thursday, spent the night in a hotel and Saturday morning we met the movers at the new house for unloading fun. Nothing’s broken, plenty of stuff is misplaced (good gravy, it’s odd having strangers...

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...

Greetings armadillos! As promised, I’ve dropped off the face of the earth, and even though I’m checking in for a little chat, I don’t have much in the way of sewing news to relate. Nevertheless, I thought I’d drop in with an update on the doings around here. So! Last weekend Mr. Bug and...

Morning kittens! Did you all think I was trapped under something heavy, unable to call for help or reach my laptop?? I’ve sort of felt that way! Here’s what I’ve been up to so far… That’s right, {laptop} death, sickness and tedium. It’s been very apocalyptic up in here. And to top it all...

Hello bunnies! Here we are on the brink of another New Year’s Eve and since I am constitutionally incapable of resisting infographs, lists and any other method of quickly digestible information I felt that I just HAD to do a full recap. So here it is. My year of projects. Unless you have super...

Hey cats and kittens! I have a new addiction. Instagram. I frickin’ LOVE using instagram – probably due to my desire to interact with the world coupled with my love of being lazy and taking pictures. For anyone not up on your iPhone apps, Instagram is an app for iPads and iPhones that’s a...

Greetings pumpkin hounds! I’ve missed all ya’ll! I’ve been rolling around in ease and luxury for a whole week, not working on much of anything and enjoying my leisure! But I said I’d take a week off and that week is over, so here I am with a pictures to get all you great...

Morning rugrats! Whew! I finished all eight aprons right on time for my big fairy-tale apron event on Saturday. Literally. On time. In fact, there just MIGHT have been an early wakeup call (3:30 a.m.) and a four hour car ride through the dark north woods that involved me sewing on buttons with a...

Morning monkeys! Mr. Bug and I headed out for another marathon weekend and I totally geeked out and faithfully recorded our doings with my new shiny white iPhone. THEN I edited the photos using Photoshop Express for iPhone and Instagram. Now I’m posting using the WordPress app. It’ll be a slightly lame post, since...

Good morning borzois, you athletes of the Russian plains. Are there plains in Russia? One would assume so. Interesting fact I either heard or made up: The rain in Spain does not mainly fall on the plains. Let’s move on. This was a big weekend for the Snugbugs. One of us turned 40 and...

Morning, you stately wolfhounds. Today’s post is all about a complete change of direction in my fall wardrobe planning. I’ve already posted a bit regarding my fall wardrobe plan (known from this day forward as Patty the Snug Bug (PSB) early fall 2011.) It’s all hot pink with DRESSES!! I’ve gotten snagged up on...

Happy Friday you weasels and marmosets. I don’t even know what a marmoset is. I’m having an existential marmoset crisis. In any case, I thought I’d drop in for a quick, cozy Friday chat, seeing as I’ve dropped off the map for the last week. Whew! What a week it was! Let’s do this...
