Embroidery was one of my very first crafting loves. So, when I was invited to try out a new product from DMC I jumped at the chance. This new stitchable mesh is so amazing and gives me a fun new medium to create on! They also have stitchable cork and cork with gold flakes!

Pinch me letters and mason jar pot of gold
Posted on February 26, 2016*I wrote this post last year as a guest post for The Wood Connection blog.

That or the rainbow order jars of candy. 😉 Here’s…

This post originally appeared as a guest post for The Ribbon Retreat. I was provided the materials but the project and opinions are my own. I think doll quilts are so fun to make. They are a small canvas where you can try out new techniques or designs without investing a ton of time. And who doesn’t have some teddy bears who could use a lovely place to have a tea party? This scalloped border adds just a bit of…
I love buttons. I love the colors, textures, shapes and styles. There is just something about them that makes me happy. Today, I’m going to show you how to make this easy button monogram. This one was made using a mixture of new and vintage buttons. I made it for my baby and used buttons collected from her grandmother and great- grandmothers. I think that makes it pretty special. Are you ready to make your own? Button Monogram Tutorial supplies:fabricletter…
Personalized Teacher Gifts: Coin Purse with Wrap Card by Ameroonie Designs
Posted on September 17, 2013*This was a guest post I did clear back in May. I just realized that I never actually posted it over here.

And it doesn’t even have to be for a teacher, you could change the text on the card and make it for just about anyone. Teachers definitely don’t get paid enough for all that…

A few weeks ago I had the opportunity to film an episode of My Craft Studio with Kristine McKay. It was so fun, and makes me feel like a real life star. 😉 You can watch the entire episode here. Actually, if I inspire just one person to bust out their dusty sewing machine, and give it one more try- then I will chalk it up as a success. If you’re here visiting from My Craft Channel- welcome! I hope…
