Fall is such a great time of year. As a lover of colors, I particularly appreciate the changing leaves with all their hues of red, orange, brown, and yellow. My childhood home had seven or eight trees in the yard surrounding it, and at least four of them would drop leaves every autumn. Raking certainly […]
A vintage tea cup filled with tea and topped with a custom sewn fabric coaster makes one of the greatest gifts you can give to a sweet friend.

This project combines so many of my favorite crafting supplies, topics and techniques. Rocks—They are just such a great surface and shape. These rocks came from the beach a few weeks ago. They are addicting to search for and pick up. I had to force myself to stop as the stitching on my bag was […]
