sweet {hearts}

This weekend I had some fun sewing up some sweet little hearts!! I had gotten some scalloped pinking shears several months back with the intention of making some cute little candy canes like Amy, but never got to it with all the craziness during the holidays. So I did a little spin on Amy's candy canes and made some cute scalloped hearts so we could decorate for Valentines Day!!

I used the cute little hearts as a garland and used some clothes pins to hang them on a sweet polka dot ribbon.

Some of my favorites!! :)

A Sweet Valentines Subway Art!

I have to show you these samples that just came in the mail last week!! Aren't they the sweetest!! I can't wait for these to arrive in the next month or so!! :)

My kiddos have the day off from school so it will be a busy day. Better get to those sweet little ones! Hope you have a lovely day!!

winter hexies...and a little giveaway for you!

I finally got a bunch of Heather Ross winter flannel hexies all basted and ready to be sewn together!! I had some time this week-end while waiting at my daughters ice skating lessons, and it was perfect to pull out my winter Munki Munki!! I think I'll make it into a pillow as how soft and comfy will that be to lay my head on!! Pure bliss, I say!! I love all the new Winter Munki Munki that came out recently and they look fabulous with all the others, like Penguin Water Ballet!! I think that is a new favorite of mine!! It is simply adorable!!

All these ones pictured are available through my shop!! If you noticed the plaid and ticking stripe, those are also Munki Munki, but are the cuffs or trim from the leg panels and the sleeves. I love how they have a coordinating fabric on some of them!!

A couple other new ones are the Foxes and Cardinals!! Aren't they cute too!!

Would you like to make some Heather Ross, Munki hexies too? I have some extra scraps so will be giving away a scrap pack and some 1 1/2 inch hexies! :)


This is a really simple and short giveaway so if you'd like to win all you have to do is tell me which Heather Ross winter Munki Munki is your favorite, and what you'd make these lovely hexies into.

The giveaway will only be open till Wednesday Dec. 14th, and I'll announce the giveaway winner soon after!

Good Luck!!!

felted wool garland

Have you seen these felted wool garlands popping up!?! I've been wanting to make one for quite some time but noticed the little felted balls are not that cheap for such a small little thing. After seeing an easy peasy tutorial on how to make them, I knew I could do it!! It is a pretty simple process and fun to work with the wool. There are lots of things you can adorn them with and thought the garland would be perfect for a picture frame!!

This cute little illustration, "Here, Little Bird" is from Tasha's shop!! Isn't it just sooo sweet!!

With this garland being my first there was a little trial and error, but think it turned out pretty good!! I'm thinking of making one for my partner for the savvy seasons swap as a little extra.


I've got lots of sewing I need to get done this week, so better get my bootie in gear!! :)

Happy Monday, my friends!! See you later in the week!
