This pouch screams TAKE ME TO THE BEACH! Seriously, this bag, cute suit, floppy hat, some kind of fruity drink and I’ll be set. And I don’t even like the beach. I do, however, absolutely adore this color of Kraftex and I’ve been going through a lime/chartreuse/peridot phase for some time now. For a fewContinue reading “Big Big Print Zipper Pouch”

Mini Zipper Pouch
Is this the cutest little pouch or what?! Oh. Em. Gee. It makes me smile. In fact, it’s mean to hold lipstick in my purse (not that I’m going anywhere) but it’s still sitting on a shelf in my sewing room so I can smile when I look at it. I can’t quite bring myselfContinue reading “Mini Zipper Pouch”
Therapy and Metamorphosis
Therapy can show up in different ways. A dinner with friends, a brisk walk, a cup of coffee and a book, an actual therapist, a loaf of warm bread just out of the oven, a hug from someone you love. It’s not one size fits all and it shows up differently for everyone. It shouldContinue reading “Therapy and Metamorphosis”
It’s Not Done ’til it’s Overdone
This month I made a darling, little embroidery/needlework holder. Cute, huh? It was so fun to make and went together really quickly! I wanted the case to be big enough that you could carry it in a tote bag and find it but not so big that it took up allll the space so IContinue reading “It’s Not Done ’til it’s Overdone”
To the Point
Do you use a planner? I do, and I love my planner. Like, LOVE! I know it’s superrrrr old school but I stay so much more organized when I use it. My system is a little laborious but the end result is always better for me. I have a record of all my ins andContinue reading “To the Point”
Mark it!
Do you like to read for fun? I LOVE to when I have time. I need to make more time to read, to be honest, especially because I usually have several books going at one time. I’m currently reading The Seven Husbands of Evelyn Hugo by Taylor Jenkins Reid. It’s OUTSTANDING! I was enthralled fromContinue reading “Mark it!”
Reusable Coffee Sleeve and Coaster
I try to give handmade gifts when I can. I mean, I can go out and buy a gift but handmade gifts are great; and who doesn’t like something made just for them?! With the holidays are around the corner that means teacher gifts, hostess gifts and gifts for friends and family are in myContinue reading “Reusable Coffee Sleeve and Coaster”
Kraft-tex Business Card Holder
Have you heard of Kraft-tex? It’s a really cool substrate that looks, feels and wears like leather but it cuts, sews, and washes like fabric. I recently made an iPad case (I’ll post about that soon), and this morning I whipped out a little business card holder. I’ve needed a business card holder for aContinue reading “Kraft-tex Business Card Holder”
New Cushions!!! finally
I was all “I’m gonna sew the day away and keep making great progress on the quilt on my design wall” last night; and this morning that changed to “Yeah, but if you go ahead and knock out the cushion covers you’ll actually FINISH something today”… And that’s just what I did! Now, I haveContinue reading “New Cushions!!! finally”
Ada, the spider
There was a spider outside my window. She was HUGE, and beautiful, and that’s saying a lot from someone that does NOT like spiders. I watched her weave and repair her web daily and was generally fascinated by her. Ada had 8 legs and ate a moth in her web, so her name (created byContinue reading “Ada, the spider”
