  • Welcome to my blog!

    Hi! I'm Traci. I'm a Registered Nurse who loves quilting, knitting, cross stitch, and the great outdoors. In my pre-scrubs life, I owned Real Photography, and you can still see my old wedding and portrait photography site here .

    I've created a map that shows links to our camping/hiking/general family fun review posts that you can find here. It's pretty much the coolest thing on this site. Thanks, Google!

    I great big puffy heart *love* comments, so please let me know you visited! I try to always reply!

I finished this today.  It made its way into one of my favorite items– the Practical Bag (for some reason I’ve had dyslexia when it came to this pattern and have been calling it the Practicality Bag for months).

It’s lined with the Celebrate Seuss print and has a matching little zippered clutch/tote/wallet/catch-all.

I’m in love with this set!!

(If you’re looking for the winner of the It’s a Hoot charm pack, I updated the original post–Elizabeth at #8 is our winner!  However, I’m participating in the Sew Mama Sew Giveaway Day Monday, so you still have a chance at winning my next giveaway!)
