Over the river and through the woods, to grandmother’s house we go! And you certainly don’t want to go empty handed. So, you make a lovely gift to bring along… say, our Wool Penny Coasters or a set of three autumn colored Knit Basket Weave Dishcloths. Now, to wrap them. There is no reason why …
I don’t know about your house, but around here, you can NEVER have enough gnomes! Meet Willow… Pixie’s new friend. I made Willow this morning using a doll panel I designed and had printed at Spoonflower. (These are available for sale at Spoonflower if anyone is interested.) They are super easy to make, a great early sewing project …
A couple of weeks ago we featured our Mouse Bookmark. At that time we asked for other animal suggestions. Our first responder was Harley and she said her favorite animal was the koala. Well, we took that suggestion and made a Koala Bookmark. Although we often see pictures of koalas hanging onto tree trunks, we took a …
The Eight Panel Princess Skirt Directions are now ready. You can find them in Apparel. I made this one in some sweet Kaufman Confections fabric that Fairy just had to have the last time we were at Joann’s. Since they were not on sale, Gammy only got 1/2″ yard of each but Pixie was devastated …
I’ve been busy, busy this week with lots of time spent at the sewing machine trying to finish up all of my summer projects before our summer trips. One that I’m totally in love with is this Eight Panel Princess Skirt made especially for Fairy. I don’t think she knows how good she has it… …
Follow our All Natural Wooden BUILDING Blocks Tutorial to make your own “Building” blocks. After several weeks of felt work, I’m getting a bit antsy and I need to change medium. I’ve been craving a little wood in my life…am I alone or are there other folks out there who stroll the aisles of Home …
The pattern and directions for this wise old owl is now available in the FREE Pattern section. This one took me a bit longer to make than the pussycat…about 2 hours…but still a quick little project to make at the last minute to give to an avid reader. Use my design, the climbing vine, or try something …
The pattern and directions for the Pussycat Book Mark is now available in the FREE Pattern Section. Michelle and the kiddos were just over for lunch. Bug saw the book mark, picked it up, and started petting it! I ask you, what more could a little pussycat ask for? Given the fact that he loves …
When I have some down time, if I’m not actually crafting, I usually have my sketch book out and I’m doodling away. Some of my doodles stay just that, a bit of fancy on a blank page. But other times, I’ll be sketching with no particular project in mind, and I’ll say, “Hey, that would make …
With a few scraps of felt and an hour and a half, you’ll have a wonderful little stocking to hang on your tree or to tuck a treat in. Gift cards and tickets, Godiva Chocolates or jewelry would all travel well in this little stocking. Use the applique pattern included or create your own. …

I wanted to share a pattern for a couple of very cute mini Christmas stockings. When you put a loop on them, they make wonderful ornaments or gift toppers. Leave the loops off, stuff with silverware or a napkin, and they add a festive touch to your holiday table. They can also be used to fill …
