I love when being vulnerable and asking for help works out like this. Oh, the joy of having great friends!

More Bags
I am happy to report I can now do French seams in my sleep and I conquered my fear of buttonholes. I made one of these gift bags a while back and over the last few days, I opened and closed the gift bag sweatshop. They really don’t take that long but I only sewed […]
Sewing Up Some Love
Today I made a box bag to send to a special friend for her birthday. The fabric makes me happy. I love a treat that is non-caloric and brightly colored. I hope it makes her happy too! On the Lenten project front, I’m still continuing to meet my goal of one a day. Today’s contribution […]

This year I wanted to share a little treat with my knitting friends for their birthdays. I have had yards of this fabric in my stash for a long time and I decided it would be perfect as gift bags. I followed a tutorial to enclose the seams and I will soon set up an […]

Put a Watermelon Rind…
When I was about ten, I went to summer camp and learned a ton of camp songs. It must have been all the repetition which cemented them in my brain because I can still remember a handful today. Put a watermelon rind in the palm of my hand and let the juice s-s-seep through.Put a […]
All Thumbs
Monique and I had a great idea to make a special gift for our parents for Mother’s and Father’s Day. It took a little forethought but it worked out swimmingly. I bought a simple wooden cross and each of our kiddos picked a color of paint. Before I left, my boys stamped their thumbprints all […]
