Spring Wreath

09 Apr

I was feeling crafty and hoping Finna would allow me to change out my holiday/winter wreath for a pretty spring one. She really didn’t want to share my attention, so my wreath was done in five minute increments. There was even a time I was nursing her and artistically placing flowers in the grapevine at the same time. I/m looking forward to when she can entertain herself a little bit.

It was worth the effort, I think. The wreath and flowers came from my first visit to Jo-Ann’s in literally months! I even bought some fabric though I’m not sure when I’ll get a chance to sew… The bow is actually from one of Finna’s baby shower presents.

And here’s a gratuitous Finna photo:

Crocheted Blanket

19 Aug

I only know two crochet stitches, but that didn’t stop me from making a blanket for Baby Sully.

I love the green, brown, and cream.

Love,

Beatrix Potter Soft Alphabet Book

13 Aug

When I lived in Michigan, on each trip to Illinois I liked to visit some fabric shops with Mom Sullivan. On one of those excursions I found a Beatrix Potter alphabet panel for sewing into a book.

Travel Bag

16 May

I made a trip to Ohio this past weekend to see my beautiful Mom for Mother’s Day. Mom and Dad generously flew me out to Columbus, which was a perfect opportunity to sew a travel bag using this tutorial I found online.

Winter Wreath

29 Nov

I decorated a new grapevine wreath for our front door.

I used red berries, a chipper Cardinal, and some printed ribbon with floral wire and my trusty glue-gun. Cinnamon scented pinecones were daubed with vanilla paint to look like snow.  I purchased everything from Michael’s. I can’t wait to do something to my stair rails, too.

Happy decorating!

Love,

Tiff

Craft Fair

12 Oct

Mom Sullivan and I attended a craft show. We didn’t see too many things that interested us, but I did come home with a few items.

A basket for the stairs. I’ve wanted one of these for a while now as I usually just set things on the steps to remind me to take them upstairs. Now it will maybe look neater and the items will stay contained.

Happy Fall, Y’all!

24 Sep

Our front porch was looking a little sad, especially after our neighbor put out fall flowers, a wreath, and even a scarecrow. After decorating the bank for fall, I was definitely in the mood to make my home festive, too. Thankfully Hobby Lobby and Michael’s had their fall decor items on sale.

I purchased the little pumpkins at Hobby Lobby along with a garland of fall leaves that I cut up for the wreath. The mums are from Mom Sullivan purchased through Lee’s school. And everything else is from Michael’s.

4th of July Bunting

24 Jun

Bunting is all over the sewing/crafting blog-world, and I’ve always liked it, I just didn’t know how I wanted to incorporate it in my house. I LOVE seasonal fabric, but never know what to do with it. Duh! How about seasonal bunting for all of my decorating needs?!
