So much of my crafting inspiration comes directly from my travels. I've never travelled and *not* come home with fresh ideas that were a direct result of where I'd been.

This rainbow row houses tea towel embroidery is just one example of how I've brought our travels into our home. This post contains affiliate links.

I stitched up this Madeline Quote Cross Stitch Pattern as a gift to her as she enters double digits. This pattern is a ... Read More
Pumpkin Boo Banner
I'm completely starting from scratch with all of my Halloween decor this year and I'm loving how quickly I can make something using my Cricut Maker and felt.

Embroidered Glasses Case
This post contains sponsored content.I have been pretty vocal about how much I love watching the Cricut Maker cut felt. Felt and embroidery are two of my favorite things and I am just over the moon at Cricut slotting itself so easily into my dreams. I made the Embroidered Glasses Case from Design Space recently and it was a great way to test out how well the Maker could cut different sizes and shapes of felt. I'm thrilled to be joining in with other Cricut bloggers to share the 50 free projects ... Read More
