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 kittens! So…. you guys are a vocal bunch when it comes to the skirt-wearing rights of the common woman! I told my boss that he had earned the disgust of the sewing blog contingent – he seemed singularly unimpressed. Just to clarify – my role at work AND at the shows is marketing,...

Alright Bunnies. Today’s post is brought to you by a tragic turn of events in the great state of Texas. I have been instructed, by a boss filled with malice and singular lack of understanding of my personal style , to not only wear a POLO to an upcoming trade show, but to wear...

Morning all! I hope you had a safe and fun 4th of July – whether you were picnicking and fireworking or just regular, old Wednesday night-ing. I was so smug over the fact I managed to blog while on vacation (if one instagram photo can be considered blogging) that I completely spaced out planning...

Morning rascally rabbits! I was going to do a mini sewing project last night JUST for those of you who are mourning my MIA sewing saga. Well, I was going to chop the skirt of a couple of maxi dresses because apparently moving to Texas has made me want to show off as much...

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...

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...

Morning kangaroos! Put this in your pouch and smoke it! My mom came to visit this weekend and was forced to hang out in my freezing sewing room (HER opinion, not mine) while I obsessively worked on my new blue quilt. I have something to show for my efforts! Here’s a nice quilt-top-with-feet picture! (note the...

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...

Good morning you newsprint paper mache octopies! Guess who got her November issue of the Anthropologie catalog yesterday?? And guess who ALMOST did an entire post on how to make some nice newsprint ornaments? Me! Me! And Lucy. Wait, no. Lucy would totally EAT the paper mache mixture – that’s just flour and water,...

Alright hagfish. We’re not going to get into your whole eating your prey from the inside out. It’s just too much for me to face in the morning. We’re just going to get right to the plotting. It’s all about my sweater dress obsession today. I have in my possession four yards of super stretchy sweatery...

Greetings you crazy barn cats. Seriously, no matter what the housecats are telling you it’s ok that you have 8 toes on each foot. We still love you. OK! So, hot on the heels of yesterday’s rather pathetic post re. time management, here I am with a half a post. Really, a quarter. Rather...

Morning wombats! I rushed home from work yesterday to snap a few photos in the waning light. Today I’m back to my fall wardrobe plotting. Behold the dress fabrics!! That white fabric on the bottom is NOT a dress fabric. It’s my bedspread!! I’m going super bright and cheery with the dress fabrics, as...

Top ‘o the morning to you, you rabid wild boars! I have a confession to make. Two confessions. First, I don’t know what boars look like. I imagine pigs, but with saber teeth and brown curly fur. Am I right? Second: I can’t STAND the phrase shopping my stash/shop my closet. Ugh. Also I...

Alright, you darling black hills burros, the gig is up. It’s been fun spending the days sewing, shopping for fabric, surfing the googles and going snipe hunting with the basset hound, but the higher beings have decided to let me out of the time-out box and return to the world of the eight to...
