I love jalapeno peppers but sometimes they are just too hot to handle. This recipe make a great addition to dinner when you are grilling and the blueberries chill the peppers out to a yummy state. Blueberry jalapeno grillers also make a great appetizer or party food. [amd-yrecipe-recipe:29] I have this handy little cooker thingie for the grill that holds the peppers upright. As they cook on the grill, the …
I was working away today up-cycling some jeans into spring fashion items and then all of a sudden…boom! I had some upcycled studio decor with old jeans and fabric from AdornIt. I also received an amazing box of products from Fairfield and found myself pretty excited to use the stuffing and pillow form. This stuff happens around here. One thing leads to another and then TaDa…new things from the old. …

I am pretty much in love with crafting tools and a few of my faves are made by Fiskars. I am sharing them here along with a few little project ideas for Valentine’s Day! The scissors are fabulous. I love the wavy ones (and my pinking ones too) for edges on fabric that is not sewn. This little tool rocks for cutting tiny pieces of thread that are hard to …

The amazing photographer is McCall Bureau, a local Denver artist. Before I start sharing, I would like to thank Angie from Country Chic Cottage for putting together this tour of creative spaces.

Being a part of the Ellison team and a designer of dies has me so totally addicted! I have been using the dies and cutting machines since the 1990’s when I was teaching but recently discovered that they work for sewing projects too! For REAL! I used a Sizzix die to create Zoey the handmade doll and it was a blast! The die cut out the fabric perfectly. Then I …
