We can't get enough bright and cheerful colours right now. The girls asked for some new colourful bedding, but as we're in this flat temporarily we don't want to go too crazy with that kind of purchase. I did, however, make them these super cheerful (and easy!) personalized Pom Pom Trim and Sequin Pillowcases that really brighten up their bedding and room.

Felt Witch’s Hat Scissors Pouch
I'm desperate for all things Halloween right now. It's only fair to assume that my stitching accessories are feeling the same way, right?!? I realized that my poor scissors didn't have a Halloween costume, so I made them this fun Felt Witch's Hat Scissors Pouch. This scissors holder is a fun way to keep them contained this holiday season. Supplies: Witch's Hat Scissors Pouch PDF black and orange felt (mine came from Cloud Craft) black beads orange and black thread (I used ... Read More
Fifteen Minute Hot Glue Button Brooch
One of the first things I bought when we moved to Scotland was a hot glue gun. It's one of those crafty things that everyone needs even if you don't immediately know it. I don't use mine all the time, but I can't imagine being without it. I've never gotten too crazy with what I use my glue gun for, but I was totally inspired after reading Angie and Carolina's new book. I'm pretty tickled with how my Fifteen Minute Hot Glue Button Brooch turned out! Supplies: hot glue gun glue ... Read More
Felt Pumpkin Elbow Patch
Pumpkin season is my favourite. I wish it could be pumpkin season all year long and it's rare that I manage to not start pulling out my pumpkin decorations before September. Because we're still living the temporary lifestyle and Scotland doesn't go nearly as pumpkin crazy as I would like, I need to make my own pumpkin everything. With a basic sweater and some wool roving, you can make a super cute Felt Pumpkin Elbow Patch to celebrate the season wherever you are. Supplies: sweater (I ... Read More
Harry Potter Sorting Hat House Colors Hair Clip
I can't go too long without making some sort of Harry Potter craft, so of course I joined in with Marissa's yearly Harry Potter extravaganza. It's so fun to have friends who share the Harry Potter love and have super creative ideas. My girls recently discovered that they can be sorted by Alexa (Madeline had already been sorted into Hufflepuff on Pottermore) and they're all in different houses. They had been asking me for something to show off each of their house colors, so I made them each a ... Read More
Trendy Peekaboo Earrings
I'm fully embracing how much I love creating peekaboo crafts. They're an easy way to use up scraps of fabric and the possibilities are endless. I've gotten addicted to making this style of lightweight earrings--they're super fun with the faux leather and pop of colour from the fabric and they're so lightweight that you barely notice you're wearing them (until someone compliments you, that is!). I'm loving these Trendy Peekaboo Earrings--they're perfect no matter the season! This post first ... Read More
