Welcome! I’m so glad you’re here! When Cindy from Live a Colourful Life decided to revive The Name Game series on her blog, she put the call out for nominations for interesting blog or instagram names. I wrote to her suggesting Super Mom – No Cape! I was more than a little flattered when she wrote back saying she was…
With less than a week until Valentine’s Day, you might not have time to embroider a large project but there’s still time to take some of the small designs in today’s vintage Workbasket pattern sheet and make something hand stitched for those special people in your life or perhaps to decorate your house. That’s what I did for this felt…
Do you decorate the house for Valentine’s Day? When our kids were living at home, I went all out to make Valentine’s Day fun for them… special treats, flowers, treasure hunts, notes stuck to bedroom doors to find when they woke up… all sorts of memory building things. I’ve never really done much by way of decorating for Valentine’s though.…
It’s been a busy week here! Those of you who follow me on instagram @supermomnocape may have noticed that I’ve been attending weekly webinars hosted by Bonnie of Hobby to Hot and BYBC (Build Your Blog Conference). The webinars are pre-conference training leading up to the conference itself February 19 & 20th. I’m learning so much but figuring out how…
Today I’m sharing another pretty Valentine’s Day pattern but before I do, I just wanted to remind everyone that the In Our Garden Blog Hop starts today over at Sew Incredibly Crazy with Amy sharing the two blocks she designed for February. Be sure to hop over there to see what she’s created for you to make. And don’t forget……
During 2015, that Reindeer and Snowman embroidery pictured below was the only one of the small embroideries that I started the year with that didn’t end up being finished into something by the end of the year. The Merry Christmas Snowman became a zippered pouch stocking. The snowman carrying the Christmas tree was turned into a gift bag. I made…
Last week for Vintage Embroidery Monday, I shared the “Be My Valentine” pattern that according to the Workbasket pattern page was intended to be used to make the front of a small pillow but it could just as easily be stitched and turned into a journal cover, the center panel for a gift bag or even printed off to color…
I had so much planned for the first two weeks of the new year and yet here we are half way through week three and I have so much to catch up on. I had a horrible after Christmas cold and lingering cough that has zapped my energy levels. I get as much done around the house as I can…
I know it seems we’re barely over Christmas and New Years but Valentine’s Day is less than a month away and for those of us who like to give small handmade gifts to those we love, we’ll need to get started soon if we haven’t already. Over the next few weeks, I’ll be sharing some pretty vintage Workbasket Valentine’s patterns…
Yesterday the temperature dropped from +4ºC in the morning to -6ºC by late afternoon and the rain from earlier in the day turned to snow. We’re supposed to get more snow later today and for the next couple of days after that. Winter is making itself felt in south western Ontario! So today’s vintage Workbasket pattern recalls the warm, lazy…
