Saturday, December 1, 2012. Secret Sister Christmas Swap. I'm friends with a great group of girls and we're doing a christmas swap this year. My partner was Brittany. (she blogs here: Yesterday's Echo. And sells her cool stuff here: in her Etsy Store. She's really girly and I was at a loss as to what to make since I'm NOT girly in any way! All my supplies are from Artbeads.com. Sterling heart double strand clasp. Two Hole Letter Beads. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom). View my complete profile.

Sunday, March 16, 2014. Let me start by saying that I have no photos of how I did this, only the finished product. It's really easy to make tho! So I had an idea to use a frame with chain and hooks. I searched high and low for a frame I wanted to use. They were all too expensive. We're talking $20 or more. I didn't want to spend that. I'm cheap! I LOVE it and wasted no time hanging it up and adding all my sparklies. :). Materials (this is for MY specific frame, your needs may vary):. We hung mine with ju...

My life, in snippets: Spawn's Monster Quilt
http://seaexplore.blogspot.com/2014/07/spawns-monster-quilt.html
Wednesday, July 9, 2014. I used my favorite Sizzix tumbler die for the front pieces. It just cuts them so nicely, 10 layers at a time, and the corners match up awesome. So much better than hand cutting! Now to get it sent off before the little Spawn arrives! I hope she or he (but I'm still going with she) LOVES it! Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom).

Sunday, September 29, 2013. Yes, I'm a coupon gal. Never, EVER pay full price for ANYTHING if you can avoid it. This whole thing came in at well under $30. Full price, would have been over $60! I bought Glossy Accents to hold on gems and anything else she wants to add to it. This glue is my go to for anything not paper. I love the stuff. Seriously. Of course, if you're altering anything you need Mod Podge. I got glossy because it's shiny and fun. Gotta have rhinestones of course! DO NOT DO THIS! Anyway, ...

Saturday, July 26, 2014. This one is for my sister. Shhhhh. she's having a baby in December. I'm so over the moon excited for her! Anyway, they're world travelers so this quilt is right up their alley. I had this fabric in my stash. No clue when I bought it. I know I got it at Joann's as a remnant. A full panel as a remnant. Yes, thank you! Use those to quilt on! Then I figured out lines of longitude and did 0, 60, and 120 east and west. Done! Thursday, July 10, 2014. I was on Pinterest. And, it's ALL in...

Friday, August 2, 2013. Ally's 2nd birthday is coming up FAST. I have no clue what to get a 2 year old. She has everything. Seriously, a play room full of toys, closet full of clothes, bin full of shoes, people who love and adore her. What the hell do I get for her? Searching for birthday present ideas on Pinterest. And came across these great story blocks. Yes, I teach math. No, I didn't figure out the permutations. Hope she likes them and doesn't decide to throw them at the cats or thru a window. :).

Sunday, January 27, 2013. Dining room turned playroom. Well, in front of the TV as all good American families do. We also have an eat in bar at the kitchen so we can eat there as well. So, since the. Craft table. It works for us. :). This is the view from the entry to the. Playroom. You can see the foam tiles we got. I LOVE them. They're soft underfoot and comfy to sit on. I think we should get a few more. My table and chairs that my dad built for ME fits perfectly under the window! Ally's growth chart t...

Wednesday, June 19, 2013. I won this awesome fabric from the Clothworks blog. In exchange for me receiving this fun vintage looking fabric, I got to write a tutorial AND do a give away of each of the fabrics I used in this quilt top! Scroll to the end to skip the tutorial and enter my drawing. The giveaway is over). It arrived all cute and tied up with a bow. These are the fat quarters I got to play with. So without further ado- here's my tutorial for a Sophie Tumbler Quilt. Rotary cutter and scissors.

Thursday, July 10, 2014. This is a special quilt for my mom. She's awesome and is in need of some extra cuddly love. Since I don't live super close by and can't see her as often as I wish to, I wanted to make her something that she could feel me in. Weird, yes. Do I care? I was on Pinterest. Great quilt from Red Pepper Quilts. I knew I wanted to make a checkerboard style quilt the moment I saw that one. I know my mom likes lots of colors so it made sense to make this one for her. Before I started this pr...
