A few weeks ago I decided that I wanted to send something "handmade" to a group of our online friends for Christmas....but I couldn't think of what I could possibly hand make that would be personal. Then it dawned on me...some handmade postcards! I could cut them out, sprinkle them with some sewing, and hand write a personal message on them. It was perfect! (Sure it's not a pieced quilt but still...) So the other night I got to work and in less than 30 minutes they were all made and ... View the Post

Thanksgiving Tablescape
liZ and I had the opportunity to come up with a fun #turkeytablescape for Jo-Ann Fabric and Craft Store's challenge to put together a Thanksgiving table for your family.

$5 Friday Thanksgiving Favors (I’m Thankful for You Because…)
Today's post is something I've been wanting to do for a long time now but never have.

It was always a good experience for me even though it was time consuming. (I taught junior high full time and had more than just one classroom full of students) I don't like insincerity. At all. Not one little bit. So when I wrote those ... View the Post
An Old Fashioned Christmas Tree Skirt Tutorial and Free Pattern
Yes, I know Halloween was just yesterday but Elizabeth and I have more holiday projects, tutorials, activities, and announcements planned than there are days to share them on so we need to get started.

When it comes to Christmas I'm always looking to the past...I love anything traditional, vintage, and ... View the Post
Simple Spider Web Skirt Tutorial
I know, I know I'm posting yet another yarn embellished skirt. (But you know how I get...once I get going on something it's hard for me to stop...but I'll try to control myself and only post one more yarnified skirt after this one.)I made this skirt the other day for Grace to wear during the spooky season. It is made from a light weight corduroy and has a simple elastic waistband.To make this skirt I cut the fabric to the necessary measurements and then "hemmed" (or finished) the bottom ...
