Clover and Violet's Embriodery 101 Quilt-A-Long: Block 2!!

Woo Hooo!!  I finished my block two early this time, and I LOVE how it came out!  I really took my time on this one and it shows, I am having such fun with this!  Thank you very much to Clover and Violet, here is my block two:

Happy Fourth of July!

Stash Bust!

I am participating in Clover and Violet's Stash Bust this month!


The poochie that I featured last post is made with left over hibiscus fabric from sorority letter days, about 5 years old now!!

Super Domestic Weekend!!

And crafty catch up...

Once again, I find myself soooo super busy!!  I will never be a good blogger if I don't make more time but hey, ya gotta start somewhere!! 

First things first, Clover and Violet's Quilt-A-Long, block one done!!  I am proud of her as she is my very first embroidery product, not perfect and I learned a lot, but I love it!!  Lesson number one, allllllll week:  TAKE YOUR TIME!!  I have never ripped so many seams/stitches/crochet stitches/etc...  But I digress, here ya go!

Next is a VERY late fathers day gift for my dad.  It's my very own design without a pattern/tutorial iPhone pouch!  I really wanted it to have a belt loop, but I just mis-planned my embroidery to add that feature!

Swappy crafts...Poochie bag from the happy zombie, and craft apron from Rosy Corner Creations for swap-bot partners!

Besides crafty news, I re-screened my back door, which moose (my 100lb son) and his girlfriend Juliette (my hairdresser/friend's baby girl) crashed through...

And made these betty Crocker S'mores bars...

AND organized all my buttons by color in these fun mason jars...

I am off to crash from this crazy weekend, but don't worry, there's plenty more to come!!  I'm pretty sure that's it for now, but I am expecting Christmas in July with 4 or 5 swaps on their way!  Woo hoo!

Happy Crafting!

Supplies Gathered!

Finished Project Friday

Welcome to my first Finished Project Friday!  May was a very busy month for me with lots of little trips, crazy changes at work and lots of general business, but I made sure to get my crafting time in!  I find it very therapeutic to create, even if I just complete one step, or a few cuts for a project, I still feel productive!

I completed a few projects on Swap-Bot, including a blue whimsey jar, small drawstring pouch, crocheted amigurumi food guy, fat quarter and a ribbon, and a crochet flower swap!  Of course I forgot to take pics of most of them until they were hermetically sealed for mailing...'doh!

Received swap, Totally awesome red hibiscus lining!

Sent Swap, ami cuppy cake!

I also finished some giftables, a purse for my mom with a combo of these two tutorials: Fat Quarter Bag and Zipper Pocket

As well as some things for my sister's birthday, upcycled t-shirt shorts and cosmetic bag.  The bag is for a swap, but I wanted a practice one, which came out awesome, and made a second for me!

I also had a very awesome "I could so make that" hair bow moment, using this tutorial from 7 Layer Studio, just to balance the awful gator shirt-->pants with some 'Canes awesomeness:

 Exciting things coming for June:

Clover and Violet Embroidery 101 Quilt-A-Long
Craft Apron Swap
Poochie Bag Swap

Happy Friday!

Sew Mamma Sew, May Day Giveaway

So I found out about the SMS May Day Giveaway after it had already started.  If you've never heard of this before it is AMAZING!!  SMS orchestrates a giveaway between around 300 vendors, bloggers and crafters for homemade crafts, crafting supplies, and vendor items.  You visit the lists and pick which blogs you want to visit and enter, but you only have like 3 days to do them all.  Some blogs require you to complete tasks like follow, comment or like and some just request any comment and random generator select a winner.  I frantically entered as many as I could before the deadline hoping to maybe win one.  A few had over 800 entries by the time I got there but...


I WON TWO!!  Wooo hoooo!!  I won a zipper pouch from During Quiet Time and a pin cushion from Little Peanut!!  I was am so excited, between these two, some ebay purchases and swaps, it's been like little Christmas!
