Scrap Swap

This is my second year participating in Melly & Me’s Scrap Swap and it is always a blast.  My partner Lorraine from Australia was so nice and we have been corresponding back and forth for the past month.  She sent the sweetest package and already I dove in to the scraps for a quilt I’m… Continue reading Scrap Swap

Flowers Flowers Everywhere

Joe and I had inherited some hand crocheted doilies his mom made years ago and I wanted to do something fun with them.  I saw this cute idea and decided I wanted to try it myself.   I rolled the doilies up and hot glued them closed to make some rosebuds.  Then I made some… Continue reading Flowers Flowers Everywhere

Simple Gifts

My move to Spain really put a damper on my crafting habits.  When you pack up your sewing machine for almost a month it can get hard for someone with crafty ADD.  I was a little behind on my FaDSA projects so I thought I would post 2 at once. I made the button scarf… Continue reading Simple Gifts

Clean Sweep Apron & Happy Quilt Trip

Just whipped up this little Clean Sweep Apron (if 2 hours is considered whipping).  I found this adorable remnant of apron fabric at Happy Quilt last week and while it wasn’t long enough for the aprons to be facing the right way, I still think it’s pretty cute.  Thanks for the pattern Cynthia.  I did… Continue reading Clean Sweep Apron & Happy Quilt Trip

For this lovely gal, an amazing photographer – check her out! I made a few of these for a sweetheart named Mae who found me on Etsy and she ordered 3 more in different sizes.  They are so fun to make and hold everything you need on a trip. And finally a custom order for… Continue reading I heart custom orders…

Not so Happy Hands

Ok Amy, the math is simple.   Hand sewing = pricked fingers = not so happy hands.  What is it with you and hand sewing?  We thought you got it loud and clear when Finny explained her complete and utter distaste in hand sewing.  And if that wasn’t enough, it was plastered all over “The… Continue reading Not so Happy Hands
