Just a heads up that my tutorial for making a ruffled cardigan is up on Craftzine.com. All you need is a cardigan, 1/2 yard of fabric, and basic sewing stuff. As a side note, you could also cut your fabric on the bias to eliminate sewing the fabric tube, and it also might be fun [...]

For starters, welcome to my new blog home! If you notice anything funny/strange, please send me an email and let me know about it. I’m still learning! I’ve tried to fix all of my internal links, but if something leads you back to the old blog, please just route yourself back over here and do [...]

I was lucky enough to receive my Patchwork Swap package this week, sent by Valerie of Knitting in Pink. (Swappers: Remember, the deadline to send your package is April 13th, and be sure to add photos to the flickr pool so we can all see what was exchanged.) My package was generously filled with extras, [...]

*********Note: As of March 6, 2009– the swap is closed!*********
It’s that time again! Spring is approaching and what better way is there to rejuvenate your scrap bin than to participate in another super-fun Patchwork Swap? Here’s how it works:
What: A swap! Mail a package of  30-40 fabric scraps that are at least 3×5″ large (you’re welcome to send larger [...]

I’m still here. I’ve been back in Bozeman since Wednesday and caught a terrible cold as a parting gift from Tejas. It was to be expected, in fact I’m surprised I haven’t gotten sick sooner, but I really haven’t been sick in the hacking/wheezing way since I left New York. At least, not that I [...]

I went ahead and activated my etsy listings so if you’re awake, you can start shopping now! Remember, you’ll get free shipping within the US from now until Monday, December 1st at midnight mountain time (2 am eastern). There’s lots of cute stuff for everyone on your list– or maybe you want to nudge someone to shop [...]

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 [...]

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 [...]
