  • 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!

RBG Apron

My neighbor Anji is the amazing baker behind Whiskey Cake Wisdom. In thanks for the many drool-inducing slices of cake she leaves on my doorstep, I made her an RBG apron to celebrate Inauguration Day! (A little bit behind on blog posts over here!)

Fabric: Spoonflower RBG print in quilting cotton. I’m not a huge fan of the qualify of Spoonflower fabrics, but I’ll make sacrifices for some RBG fabric!

Pattern: Cafe Apron Tutorial that I have used many many many times over the years! Seriously–look at this amazing blast from the past when I was in the babe-on-hip years!
