Tease…

I will be participating in the “Stitch me up” embroidery blog hop that happens March 20th-29th. I’m actually really excited about this one as when they sent me the patterns to choose from, one jumped right out at me!  I ran to my stash and found the absolutely perfect fabric for the project. That doesn’t happen very often. I usually have to go to the fabric store to find “just the right thing.” This time, it fell into place wonderfully.

Now, I can’t show you the project just yet, as it isn’t quite finished and I have to wait for the big reveal until my day, but I thought I would show you a little teaser!

I have really enjoyed the challenge to my creativity. Now to get it finished before my day…

Hugs & Kisses Blog Hop…

There’s a blog hop going on over at Sew We Quilt. I couldn’t resist highlighting my favorite entry for the day! These darling heart mug rugs are from Rosemary B. She doesn’t have a blog, so Madam Samm is hosting her at “That Other Blog.” I just may have to make a couple of these for myself!

Very Pinteresting…

I find myself spending WAY too much time on Pintrest. Half of my crafting time is being taken up by just looking at all the wonderful things other people have made and pinned.

Here are a few of my favorites that I would like to make…someday!!!

Fusion Blanket Crochet-a-long…

So a while back I saw this picture and fell in love:Sewing Daisies: Kaffe Fusion Blanket

It’s Heidi’s from http://www.sewingdaisies.com.au. She calls it her Kaffe fusion blanket. It combines two things I love, sewing and crocheting!

Then, since I’m always looking at things I want to make, and never getting back to them, I forgot about it. Until…I found this post at Little Miss Shabby’s blog. Well, now I’m hooked! (haha!)

I won a giveaway over a year ago that included a charm pack and some scraps from April Cornell’s Nature’s Chorus line. I was already in love with this line and had a little bit of it myself.

I put it away to save for when I found the perfect project. Well, guess what…now I have! I will turn this into a fusion blanket!

Why not join in the fun? Heidi made a button for the sidebar and a flicker pool. Come on…you know you want to!!!
