Advent Tree Kit Giveaway!!!
EDIT: The Giveaway is Closed. Thanks to everyone that entered! My Busha use to say, “If you haven’t gotten half your day’s work done by 10:30 a.m., you’ll never get it all done.” Well, it’s 10:30 folks, in a metaphorical Christmasy kind of way. So, we are doing an early Christmas Giveaway BECAUSE, you simply …
Stacking Birdie Applique Block
Okay, I’ll admit it… I’m like everyone else. I love our Wooden Pine Forest, but my heart was captured by the little birdies! So, it only seemed fitting that I “immortalize” them in one of our applique blocks. I took the little bird and made 2 larger variations. On our directions you’ll find patterns for …
Funky Falling Leaves Wall Hanging
I’m totally in love with my latest endeavor. All the projects I post please me (alas, those that don’t will never receive their 5 minutes of fame on our blog!), but every now and then I make something that I could never part with. My new Falling Leaves Wall Hanging has just bumped out an older piece of artwork for …

I’ve Got the Mushroom Business Card Case Blues!
We just received the new business cards that Michelle designed for us. I love them… they are so Wee Folk Artish… which, of course, they should be. So, naturally, I wanted to design a business card holder that also felt like Wee Folk Art. For anyone not familiar with designing crafts… the projects are evolutionary. …
Apple Applique Block and Apple Crisp Recipe
I was going to start this post talking about how much I love fall, but I’ve already said that… many times. Instead, I’m just going to introduce our Apple Applique Block, tell you I made it to fit a 6″ x 6″ block, and remind you that you can enlarge or reduce the pattern to …
Woven Spider Wheel Stitch
The Woven Spider Wheel Stitch is a versatile stitch that I use often. It makes a circular, raised stitch appropriate for flowers, apples, polka dots, etc. It winds up being raised, giving it a wonderful 3-D effect. Obviously, I love this stitch, and although it might seem difficult, with a couple of tricks, you’ll be …
Woven Spider Wheel Stitch
We got a question from one of our readers about the Woven Spider Wheel Stitch. And although the diagram we have in the glossary is the “textbook” picture, I have found a few tricks that make this stitch not only a breeze, but fun! And since this has become one of my all time favorite …
