Anyhow, guess I never told you much about me...I'm a mother to six grown kids, grandmother to 8 with another due in the spring. My two youngest are in college the three oldest are married and the one in

Hi Vanessa! I'm Mandy from NSW, Australia. I'm a SAHM, with 3 children under 4. I laughed so much about your Christmas tree blog - that story hit close to home! I followed your lead and really lightened up about the decorating this year. My hubby and my two girls helped, and surprisingly the results were really good. I just love your decorating style, thanks for all the inspiration!

Hi V, I'm Colleen from Ft. Worth. I discovered you through my sis in law, Larissa Z. I love crafting, but I'm a single mama/fourth grade teacher so have NO time. My creativity is sucked fully into my job (which is good for my students, I suppose!) I love to see the awesomeness you create, and I marvel at how you have time and energy to do it all.

Love to hear about your escapades as a mom. Reminds me of those fun days raising my four in Raymond, AB, Canada. I love to sew and have turned to quilt making the last 5-6 years. Now if I can just get 2 quilts done for Christmas, I will have only 2 for next year and all 13 grandbabies will be done!

Hi V!

You live in Loa??? :) You could send me some cheese! (is there still a cheese factory there?) I grew up in Monticello, so I understand the whole rural, small, underfinanced school thing. If I didn't have a 4 year old at the local elementary's preschool, I'd totally send you my boxtops! We live in the boonies of Nebraska where we run a farm/horse ranch/horseshoeing

2009-12-11T10:48:52.190-06:00

I'm sure you remember how annoying it was when your college roommate Alicia had her little sister come and stay for the weekends, but I loved it and here I am now on your blog. As someone who is admittedly craft-challenged I need ideas and I've gotten some great ones here, and told lots of friends about them too.

My husband and I live in St. Louis now where he is in graduate

Hi Vanessa! I'm from Kansas and have two young boys. I've made a quilt for my oldest, but haven't gotten around to making a 2nd but have 100 in my "want to make" pile (love your pinwheels version). I love reading blogs and getting so many ideas - I used to be addicted to magazines, but now its blogs. Have a great holiday!

Hi Vanessa I'm Cheryl. I live in Oklahoma. I'm forty-something and the mother of 2. My kids are grown and I've been sewing (in some form) for most of my life. About 10 years ago my Mom and I took a machine quilting class and we are hooked. I'm a city girl that married a farm boy about 4 years ago. We built a house on the 80 acres that he grew up on so that's where my

Hey Vanessa! Well, I'm Kaye and I live in Toronto Ontario Canada. I'm a graduate student getting my Master of Information to become a librarian (my last paper of the semester is actually due today, woot!) and I also work at a library on campus. I, of course, love sewing and quilting and just "making". I also love to bake and read and just hang out with my partner, Alex.

Hi, my name is Shelly and I'm addicted to craft blogs. I got an iPod Touch for Christmas last year and spend a good portion of time checking - and rechecking - email and blogs. I have an 8-month-old who still gets up at night, so I'm on the Internet in the wee hours too (see?). I play piano for Primary, currently live in Texas but grew up in Phoenix, and have an awesome pilot husband. I

Hi Vanessa,
I'm Sophie and I'm 22, studying medicine in England. I stumbled across your blog a few months ago and since then I'm addicted! I love your sense of style, it's what I want my house to be when I can finally move out of student housing and into my own! (Only 2-3 years to go.... sigh...) You inspired the purchase of my first ever sewing machine - a lovely little red

I am Jen from Salt Lake City and I think everything you do is just gorgeous! I have a little boy and 2 little spunky girls and a husband in graduate school. He wants to be a farmer (which is not what he is studying mind you)...so the stuff you write about getting cows and canning endlessly and living in a small town makes me laugh, a lot! Anyway, love all that you do! Thanks for the inspiration

Other than the fact can't pull myself away from the computer to do my "chores" before I head out to my favorite night, "Bunco night", and leave my perfectionist husband here with no dinner and a messy house :P I hate the question tell me about yourself. Where do I start? Who am I? Maybe it stems from not knowing who I was for a long time. In the last few years I am
