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...

Greetings maladjusted hippopotami. I’m back today with a followup from last week’s post asking about how to manage a full time job, a full time hobby and a blog. And chores. And cooking… you all had such great comments I wanted to circle around and talk about this again! The comments really broke down...

Good morning chimpanzees and chihuahuas. I know you are natural enemies, but I hope we can all get along for the next few minutes to discuss a very important subject. Time management. Or my complete confusion over how to go about managing my time… As some of you might remember, I headed back to an...

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.
