Fabric Log Cabin

I finished this fabric log cabin for my daughter for Christmas. She is studying our state history and is really interested in pioneers. All of the fabric and plastic canvas used for this project came from my DH’s aunt. (She cleaned out her trunk of “scraps” and gave them to me!) The fabric details inside [...]

Hand Prints on the Wall

I wanted to make something special for my parents and in-laws for Christmas this year. I decided that a wall hanging with my children’s hand prints on it was just the thing. I had seen this blog which inspired me. First, I traced my children’s hand prints onto paper and cut them out. Then, I [...]

Crocheted Ski Masks

My oldest son has been asking for a ski mask (I know it is hot, but he is planning ahead.). I found this pattern and through some tweaking came up with the hats pictured above. I mostly followed the pattern, but had to make them bigger than the child’s size and do a few other [...]

Aprons by the Dozen

I made 12 aprons from assorted fabrics in my stash. I stitched up some for me to wear and the rest will be gifts. I started this process in February and have just now finished them. It wasn’t that they were difficult to sew, but there ended up being projects that took precedence. Here are [...]

Crocheted Washcloths

Two weeks ago I started making some crocheted washcloths. I made ten in four days. They went very quickly. I used Lily’s Sugar’n Cream cotton yarn. I had bought 5 skeins of yarn, and I was able to make two washcloths out of each skein. I also had enough scraps left over to make two [...]
