“You Are What You Keep”
I have been staring at that statement ever since I read it in one of my online quilting groups a few weeks ago. It was posted as part of an “Eliminate 2010 things in 2010” challenge from another group. I have been on a quest to reduce my possessions for twenty years. That makes me…

Eye Candy & Inspiration
Quilters, I am not sure what you call it, but when I find a blog that makes me just scroll up and down, over and over, discovering something new, exciting and beautiful, I call that “eye candy”. This blog is in Spanish, and was brought to my attention by my new friend Rita, who emailed…

Vote for Vanessa!
Quilters, you might have noticed that I am loving making videos and putting them on YouTube. I also *watch* a lot of videos there – in fact, when I want to figure out how to do something, like use a piece of software or cook something, well the first place I go now is YouTube.…

Cleaning Up and Cutting Scraps

Would you post a link to it in the comments? I love listening to different languages and new interpretations…

Really Great Inspiration
I love reading Seth Godin and so of course I downloaded his (free!) new ebook as soon as I could. It’s called What Matters Now. Since I am sharing things I love, this video really speaks to me. It is on TED and it is William Kamkwamba talking about how he Harnessed The Wind. I…

Audio Books!
I am having such a surprisingly good time listening to books. I never thought that I would enjoy this and that’s why I’ve taken so long to try this just because I was sure that I wouldn’t like it. Ahhhh, I admit that I was wrong 🙂 My local library card lets me download a…

Hi Quilters, I received a comment by Cindy of Sew Happy Designs and Nettie and I had to share my reply with you because of how excited I am about it all. You know that I have just fallen head over heals in love with video (yes, I am a terrible show off!) and being…
