I don't know about you, but I don't think it's possible to have too many pairs of embroidery scissors. Since I often wander around with my stitching, I like to always have scissors easily accessible. It's extra nice to have my scissors in a pouch so that they don't accidentally rip through any of my work and are easy to find when I'm digging through a bag. I made this sweet Felt Heart Scissors Pouch to keep both me and my scissors happy as we're out and about. Supplies: felt (mine ... Read More

Felt Heart Page Corner Bookmark
We've had a really slow start to the year. We had such a lovely time in New Zealand and it's been difficult to get back to normal life--not to mention that we just can't seem to get over our jet lag. I'm all about snuggling up right now, so big blankets, good books, and lots of coffee have been a mainstay while we try to recover our energy. I made this sweet Felt Heart Page Corner Bookmark to hold my place while I doze for a bit. It's perfect for your favorite book or as a gift for Valentine's ... Read More
Felt and Pom Pom Ornaments
Felt and pom pom trim are the perfect crafting combination, so you knew it was just a matter of time before I made some Felt and Pom Pom Ornaments!

Felt Christmas Tree Scissors Pouch
You know how sometimes you go into Christmas overload and just can't get enough holiday spirit around you?

Supplies: green felt yellow/gold felt brown felt green floss (I used DMC 700) gold floss (I used DMC E3852) "garland" floss ... Read More
Pom Pom and Hexagon Tea Towels
When we were in London last October, I had Liberty of London on my must do list. I bought a few small things from their fabric section, including a pack of pre-cut hexagons in assorted fabrics. I don't quilt (yet!), so they've been sitting around waiting for me to figure out what to do with them. I had some bits of pom pom trim hanging around that ended up next to my fabric and I realized that they coordinated pretty well. I can't get enough of fun tea towels and decided that Pom Pom and Hexagon ... Read More
Merry and Bright Cross Stitch Hoop
I've been amassing a pile of felt and fabric scraps from various Christmas projects that needed to be used. Because my go-to craft supplies have become more precious since the move (harder and more expensive to come by), I've held onto every last bit for use in another project. I pulled some of my scraps together to make this festive little Merry and Bright Cross Stitch Hoop and it has added yet another pop of homemade Christmas cheer to our family room.
