Just thinking about organizing my fabric was daunting. I have fabric everywhere in my craft room. I have tried organizing it before but with limited space, I had few choices so it all ended up in big plastic totes and two dressers. Every time I need something, I have to dig into the totes andContinue reading “Organizing Fabric”

Some of my Cricut Projects
I have been neglecting my blog because I’m working on a project that is taking way too long so I decided to share some of the side projects I have made for people with my Cricut. This one was something I whipped up for my niece’s softball team. Actually, it is for the parent’s shirts.Continue reading “Some of my Cricut Projects”
Non-Slip Hangers
I thought I had a great idea to make my hangers non-slip. I was going to glue the rubbery shelf liner onto my hangers with rubber cement but I discovered something better by accident. I cut a piece of shelf liner and glued it onto one side of my hanger. I put rubber cement onContinue reading “Non-Slip Hangers”
DIY Christmas Card with Window
Why buy a card for less than a dollar when you can spend a ton of money and time making your own? Because I love handmade gifts and appreciate when someone goes through the effort to make a card. Card making is something that I have never been able to do well but I amContinue reading “DIY Christmas Card with Window”
DIY Pin Cushion on a Canister
I had to stop all my projects to make a pin cushion. The pin cushion I was using was lopsided and hard so every time I pulled a pin out while I was sewing, I had to stop to wrestle with the pin cushion. It was seriously messing with my flow. Now, you would thinkContinue reading “DIY Pin Cushion on a Canister”

How to make Steampunk Spats
This is my fourth post on my Steampunk series. After searching the internet for a pattern for spats and not finding anything I liked, I decided to make my own pattern. There was one pattern on etsy but there was no way I was going to spend $10.00 for something I had to print outContinue reading “How to make Steampunk Spats”
DIY Steampunk Hat and Goggles
This is my third post in my Steampunk series on my boyfriend and my costumes for Halloween. I love Steampunk. It gives you the freedom to get creative because it is a mixture of the Steam era in England, Victorian times, the old west and post apocalyptic times. It is way more than just gearsContinue reading “DIY Steampunk Hat and Goggles”
