Do you decorate a branch for Easter? We discovered the tradition of decorating an Easter branch when we were posted to Germany in the 80s. Our landlady lived in the apartment next door to ours and had brought in a flowering branch to decorate with small wooden ornaments; eggs, bunnies, chicks and birdhouses with tiny birds inside. We thought it…
The month is just speeding along, isnt’ it! Here we are, the third Monday of the month, which means it’s time for the monthly Craft Room DeStash Challenge. Which means, I’m once again digging into my fabric dresser to use up some of my fabric stash. And I’ve got the most adorable Rag Quilt Bunny Tutorial to share with you.…
Do you go all out for St. Patrick’s Day or barely give it a nod? I don’t do a lot of decorating for St. Patrick’s Day but I do like to have some little touches around the house as a nod to my Irish roots. These reversible tissue box covers allow me to do that without having a lot of…
It’s time for February’s Craft Room De-Stash Challenge or in my case, Sewing Room De-stash. This month, I have the prettiest little Tablet Pouch to share with you. Each month, we are challenged to create a project from our stash. We’re allowed to spend up to an additional $10 to complete the project but I’m pleased to say that everything…
This month I’m taking part in the Craftroom Destash Challenge hosted by C’mon Get Crafty. Goodness knows I have more than enough fabric and craft supplies to choose from! And since Valentine’s is coming up in less than a month, I started by pulling these fabrics from my stash. Once I had what fabrics to use sorted, I needed an…

Had you planned to make handmade gifts this year but time got away from you and here we are this close to Christmas and you didn’t get everything done that you wanted to get done? Or perhaps you have some unexpected guests coming Christmas day and you’d like to have a gift under the tree for them to open but…
I’ve got a super quick post for you today. My Prairie Point Star Ornament Tutorial is the most popular of all the tutorials I’ve posted. Over the years, I have occasionally received emails from readers asking if I can suggest an alternative to the button centers as their hands were no longer strong enough to pull the needle through the finished ornament…
These Charm Square Soup Bowl Cozies really are such a great way to use up all those charm square packs you’ve been collecting! Over the years while I was travelling from contract to contract with Dave, I managed to collect quite a few. My reasoning was that they were small so didn’t take up much room in the suitcase. And sometimes…
Do you have a tub full of quilt batting scraps waiting for you to find a use for them? Every quilter I know has a container full of batting strips from when they square up their quilts after quilting before attaching the binding. I’m no exception! We all just hate to throw out that much batting, don’t we? After all……
