And now for the super simple crafty holiday idea I promised to share (just pretend it’s Friday!).

Ladies and gentleman, introducing The Colorful Scrap Wreath. I found a wire wreath frame (it looks like this, with 4 concentric, slightly raised wire circles) at Joann’s and it jumped into my shopping bag because a) I’d never seen a [...]

This weekend I went to town crocheting little leaves from my own Leaf Pattern on CraftStylish. After crocheting it eighteen times (they are remarkably quick!) I can say I am pretty satisfied with the pattern, especially since I went back and forth on it for hours. Sometimes the simplest things can be the toughest. Anyway, [...]

Hello again. It feels like it’s been a while since I posted because I was in a foggy congested state last week, but I’m still here. You might have noticed (if you click over to my actual blog, since you won’t see it in the reader) that I’ve added a wee Donate button to my [...]

I have a few holiday themed envelopes going out this weekend (I know, I know! But I had to get a head start!) and I wanted a cute way to tag the gifties inside– using only things I have in my stash, but of course. I recently bought a 3″ circle punch (the stuff of my [...]

Now that the Tegue has received his secret Auntie presents I can safely post them here. I’m pretty sure that at 9 months old he doesn’t read this blog, but why take the chance?

I brought him baby blocks and a crocheted giraffe! I actually made some blocks for an upcoming article using a different technique, [...]

Nicole and I got around to some more potato printing last Friday… I printed some of my shopping totes along with pieces of fabric (both prints and solids). I’m not sure what i’ll do with them yet but I do love how they came out. I would  have photographed more but it was extremely windy [...]

I haven’t felt much like posting, but I wanted to pop in and say thank you to everyone who has purchased a hat from my shop. I’ve already raised over $100 for Jasenn and my sis so hooray. I hope you like your hats!

I also wanted to mention that I’m doing a Sweet Baby Hoodie [...]

Last week I got together with my friend (and her new, 3 week old baby!) to do some potato printing. She saw the technique while she was looking through my copy of Kayte Terry’s Complete Embellishing, so we rounded up some supplies and had some fun. I forgot to take pics while I was at [...]

Despite my extreme interest in crocheting lately (which, I predict, will cease and desist once I have to work up the sample for the class I am teaching), I have also been doing some sewing lately.

This weekend I worked on more scraps for the scrap quilt. It’s so colorful, and I’m pleased so far. I [...]

Yesterday I felted some rocks just for the heck of it. I was felting something else, something to be revealed later, and I already had all the materials so I knew I had to try it when I saw this tutorial. And a good tutorial it was! I had a couple of problems, mainly smacking [...]
