Fall Door Panel and fabric sale
I love autumn, and generally cannot resist autumn themed fabrics or things like this door panel with fall decorations of leaves and pumpkins. I had to have this panel, but to get it I had to buy the whole bolt of door panels and I don't need this many! I have them for sale at …
Around the World Blog Tour
You know, for me it is a rare day to be the popular girl! Never happened to me in school, but I did get ‘tagged’ by two other bloggers at once for the Around the World Blog Tour. It is a blog hop, where a blogger tags you to share about your blog, then you …

Matching Ironing Pad
I guess I just can't leave things alone. I had some of the heat resistant fabric left over from recovering my ironing board, and making a few potholders. It was a large enough piece to make a pad to carry for using my little Clover iron, or maybe my little travel iron. And I still …
More Sewing Goodies
Now that I have the Sewing Kit finished, I had fabric left. Those scraps were begging to be used for more matching accessories, so I made a few more quickie projects. The needle book is made like a tiny quilt, folded over, with a wool felt 'page' to keep the needles on. It has a …
