Hedgehog Pincushion

 I know this is not an original idea.

this prickley lil' guy is

 ALL over the web

in felt and fabric!

 This is my version and he is oooh so cute!

I made a nifty little pattern that

I was going to scan and post

BUT I have been to lazy to do.

 So if anyone is interested your just

going to have to leave a comment

 and beg me to post the pattern :)

I should have posted this sooner
I cannot remember how I put it all together
but an advanced sewer could probably figure it out
if I can be of any help just leave a comment.
Feel free to use any of my ideas/patterns as
you wish, My Blog is here as an encouragement
for others sewers.

Chicken Wire Bulliten Board

I got this idea from Pinterest.
Chicken wire+oldwood+homedecor= My style
Never been to Pinterest?
DO.NOT.GO.THERE.
you will be sucked into its vortex of ....of everything.
don't say I didnt warn you.

Crate Covers

Here is proof that I did get something done this summer.

I found this crate cover tute over at lauragunn.typepad.com

Genius!

I went to the thrift store and bought old white bed sheets



and made LOTS!
this should take care of the wayward shoes in the back room

Signs

I made this sign back in the spring.

I thought I would try out freezer paper stencils.

but freezer paper stencils and painted wood are not very good friends.

So I scrapped that idea

and did it he old fashioned way.

kind of like paint by number.
