These photos aren't the greatest, but how cute are these mug rugs? They are around 8 1/2 inches wide. I have to admit I have made six of them and only four are worthy of gifting to people. A couple of the earliest ones came out really wonky. I have improved my trimming method and […]
I've got something cute for you today. A new mug rug pattern that would be an adorable Christmas gift. I think I may make a batch of them and give them to some of my besties for Fall/Halloween season. Who wouldn't love a seasonal mug rug? The pattern is "Centerpiece Tablemats" designed by Terri Staats […]
2020 is turning into The Year of the Sew Along for me. In our current lockdown situation, so many designers, quilt shops, and groups are hosting the most fun sew alongs. If we are stuck in the house, surrounded by our fabric stashes, why not make the most of it! I have an all-time high […]
I have decided to give my skin a break during this quarantine situation. Why should I put on makeup just to sit around the house? This is a great opportunity to baby my skin a bit and give it some TLC. I want to tell you about a skincare line that is dermatologist recommended, extremely […]
These two funny looking things are triangle zipper pouches. I watched a couple of YouTube videos to get the basic instructions. They went together easily, with a few trial and error mishaps. I sewed those D ring tabs on wrong about four times but got it right in the end. I will provide more details […]
Eva has been invited to a sleepover on the occasion of one of her friend's birthday. The mom requested "no gifts", but you know how that goes. You feel as though you need to mark the occasion with something. I thought it would be fun, and not "too much" to give a little pencil case. […]
Yes I really did buy two of the same book. Luckily my random number generator picked commenter number 17, Nancy Watkins, to take one of them off my hands! Congratulations Nancy. Send me an email with your address and I will get one of these in the mail to you right away! Thanks to everyone […]
Time for a few more Things I Am Loving Lately. This little makeup case would be great for travel, but also good for storing your makeup items that are in regular rotation. In the picture they have it crammed pretty full, but there are nice deep divided compartments that separate your powders and eyeshadows and […]
Eva wanted to give her parents something for Christmas, but as with most 7 year olds, she needed some adult assistance. We decided to make home made Ranch Salad Dressing mix and package it in small mason jars. Isn't that a sweet little present? And who doesn't love Ranch Salad Dressing? The recipe was super […]
Better late than never, right? I had forgotten that I had said I would post some Christmas stocking stuffer ideas for the men on your list. Hopefully this won't come too late to be useful. Most of the items are easily found and not very expensive. Some of these things may not seem very exciting, […]
