Spring Wreath
A while back, I saw a wreath on Create Craft Love that I absolutely adored. It was a fun spring wreath made from a garden hose. So, I thought I would give making one of these a try. Of course, I managed not to rememeber to print off a list of the things I needed…
Read More#OurProject52 – Out of Focus
Do you ever feel out of focus? That’s how I’ve been feeling lately, and I know it’s been seeping into the blog. I can’t remember the last time I had a finished sewing project to share with you. Ok, I can remember when it was, but let’s just say it was a while ago. Instead…
Read More#NaBloPoMo – Like it was in 3D
Because of my choice in college degrees, I’ve had access to 3D technology for a long time. In college, we used 3D scanners that would scan and collect data from 3d objects and create a digital 3D model that could be manipulated for animation. Of course, now things are going the other way, you can…
Read More#NaBloPoMo – Where did my crafty go?
Over the last couple years I have found myself working on more fabric based projects, things like quilts and clothes.

I found a great wreath idea on the Midwest Living site last year. It’s a spring wreath using an umbrella, but it gave me the idea to make a wreath from a stocking. My wreath is currently hanging out on my fake ficus tree at work, but I’ll take it home when the office closes…
Read MoreChristmas Wreath
A couple months ago, my sister asked me to make her a Christmas wreath. So, we went down to Hobby Lobby and picked up a wreath, some decorative picks, and a few flowers. I love the Hobby Lobby weekly sales. We got a great price on everything. For most of the last month, all those…
Read MoreCraft Month 2011 – Day 26 – Make Your Own Coasters
Today, I’m going to tell you how to make your own coasters. To start my project, I went to our local building supply store and purchased some tiles. I bought 4 of them for 68 cents. That’s right, 68 cents. I brought them home and got together the rest of the items for my project:…
Read MoreCraft Month 2011 – Day 20 – Embroidery
For today’s craft project, I thought I would try something that I have never done before. I did some embroidery. I started with a cute image I found online, which I printed it out and traced onto my fabric. Then I did a lot of backstitching. I’m very excited about how the final project turned…
