Hey Hey..... today I am going to talk to you about THREAD and how it is the best notion in your arsenal. You don't have to have fancy machines to do amazing things with thread, but if you DO have fancy machinery and aren't using it.... dust it off and let it show you all the beauty it contains!
Read MoreWhat child at some point in their life doesn't wish that they could FLY!!! I know it was always a dream of mine. My kiddos love wings (yep, all three of them, boys included), but I have found that the ones at the store last about a day in our house - or more like an hour. The flimsy frames and mesh fabric simply can't hold up to the wearing of my active children. So I have to say I was super excited to see these Butterfly Wings from Wife Made show up in my news feed. And even more excited when Marnie said that she would sew them up for the blog.
According to Marnie - these are a pretty quick sew......hmmmm, think I can fit in one more sew to my to do list before Christmas Day????
Read MoreHoliday fun can mean so many different things to different people. So far we've shown you the joys of relaxing in PJ's all day, the sweet scrumptious-ness of baking, and today we have a personal favorite of mine; playing in the SNOW!!!! Now if only the weather would get it's act together and send me my white stuff - I mean, I live in the North East for a reason.... a projected 65 on Christmas day does not scream 'Winter Wonderland'.
But even without snow, Chris still enjoyed some snow time fun with her littles. And these adorable Wild Things Hooded Scarves from Big Little just amp up the festive spirit.
Read MoreI tend to think of adult gifts as being hard to fit in the 'handmade' category....but really they don't have to be at all!!!! We've already shown you adult Socks and Pajamas that will make great gifts, and don't forget those teacher totes and notebook covers that are also great for girlfriends and the in-laws!!!! Today, Lisa is here to share the perfect gift for any cools in your life. While she has whipped up a gorgeous floral version, I can completely see my BBQ loving little brother wearing this as he teaches his kids the art of the grill.
The simple lines are perfect for showing off a great fabric or adding a fun embroidery or applique. These kitchen sayings from Urban Threads always make me smile (My in-laws are getting a set of towels with these embroidered, but I'm thinking they need a matching apron now too!!!) Check Lisa's take on the Make and Create Apron from Pattern Emporium.

Read MoreWe've all been there, opening gifts Christmas morning when you get to that dense, lumpy package (that usually says, from 'mom'); and you just know you got your yearly issue of new socks....ummm, gee thanks!

Read MoreSo of course my brain has been in nutcracker mode, and I just had to design this cute Nutcracker doll FMA to share with all of you. He is the perfect embellishment to a T-shirt, pants leg, or pillow to decorate your home. Have an adult friend who loves nutcrackers, try framing your finished design to hang on the wall - how cute would he be framed by a wooden embroidery hoop!?!?!??
Read MoreAs December descends upon us, it is the time of giving gifts which means that you have to come up with said gift. For me beyond budget, beyond finding time, sometimes the hardest part for me is coming up with that idea. You know the idea of what to get to give that the person will really appreciate, that they don't have a million of, and that they will remember past the 5 seconds when they open it.
Well, over the next few weeks, we will be sharing great ideas for gifts for all the people in your life. Today we are starting with an amazing gift for Teachers - notebook covers! I'll let Lisa take it over from here!!!
