1) I drive by this sweet little church multiple times a day and I’m always excited to see the new postings on their marquee. This one was good enough that I had to stop and take a photo. Love everyone. The end. 2) Call us a little slow, but we just realized that Edith and Jason share a half-birthday/birthday. Edith […]
I received a request from a sweet customer who purchased both my swirly heart pattern and my swirly pumpkin pattern from my Etsy shop. She loved the style of both patterns and was hoping I could design a snowman version. I loved the suggestion, but with the busy-ness of my life right now it took me a while to find the […]
One of my favorite traditions at Christmas time is to make an ornament for each of my children. Originally we purchased ornaments each year, but over the last couple of years I’ve switched to giving them handmade ornaments, and I don’t think I’ll ever go back.

This pattern was inspired by a sweet Christmas gift my daughter made for me last year. The canvas she painted is hanging next to my bathroom mirror to remind me to be awesome each day (or at least as awesome as possible…). I’ve found it to be fantastic motivation and thought you might, too. Download the pattern here.

We’ve had a big of a sugar skull (aka Calavera) craze going on at our house lately. We learned about their origin and the part they play in traditional Dia de los Muertos celebrations. The next logical step was to try our hand at making some, out of felt of course. This was such a fun project for my 6 year […]
