When I started working on bag designs last year, I thought about what makes a bag useful. One of my biggest pet peeves is a bag that simply doesn't stand up for itself! No wimpy bags for this chick! So, of course, that brings me to the topic of today's post which is buckram.

When I found this 5,4,3,2,1 submission in my inbox, I lit up, and I am sure you will too after reading about Hurley Winkler. One goal she has for herself in 2012 is to start a blog, and I cannot... Read More
I've been getting oodles of emails, and this heading just seemed ... so appropriate in describing them. And since I'm still waiting for my uncooperative server to stop being such a pain-in-the-you-know-what, I figured I'd post about'em (not going to quote any or use names). {compliments} Duh ... my favorite of the three.

The weather is beautiful, even summery, but the sky has that big look to it, like it's farther away or something. The mornings are cool, and in the evenings I have to go through the house, closing all the windows. The leaves are still green, but trees and bushes are heavy with berries.

It might sounds cheesy but I really think a lot of Craftsters treat every day like Earth Day. So many of us are trying our best to reduce, reuse, recycle, and just be good stewards of the Earth to the best of our abilities whenever possible. read more...

Sometimes I come across amazing fabric at flea markets (old dresses or tablecloths,) garage sales, or even awesome stores like Spoonflower , but I just don't know what to do with it. Thats why when I came across this idea I had to share it with you. I found this idea on Making it Fun . It shows you how to make your own bean bag chair from scrap fabric. Great idea for kids- or for the big kid inside all of us!
I've been visiting the opshops this Christmas, nothing I love more than vintage Christmas finds. Some opshopped gifts are under our tree this year, I hope they are appreciated.

Couple of weeks ago we visited the flea market in downtown Cordoba. It was the first time We went to that part of town, and I found it incredibly interesting, colorful, and somehow bohemian. The first stall we visited was full of antiques. Most of them with the European flare of the best Argentine times. I was in the in the look out for an thimble, old spools, or some other crafty antique; and what I actually found was this. I couldn't reach it from were I was standing, so I asked the lady in charge to reach it for me so that I could take a look.

Hi Everybody! Welcome to week 5 of the New York Beauty Quilt Along hosted by Sara at Sew Sweetness ! Today I'll be walking you through Block 7 , which can be found here ! I feel like I'm still just getting my feet wet in terms of paper piecing, so if you've never paper pieced before, I'd recommend starting with something small to get the basics of it, like this simple square from Quilter's Cache! Definitely check out Faith's star tutorial too, her photos are awesome! I hope you'll try this out!

Oh my. I have to admit that it's given me a silly amount of guilty pleasure keeping you guessing over this creative make. Sorry. Well no, truthfully I'm not really very sorry, it's been tremendous fun reading your comments on my last post, I've enjoyed it so much! Ok, enough with the teasing, shall we cut straight to the story?

I was reading my inbox one day and discovered Welcome to the Good Life ! First off, I couldn’t believe I’ve never heard of her, and secondly, I was blown away with the talent Sarah has. She has tutorial after tutorial, after tutorial when it comes to wardrobe ideas and every single one of them are gorgeous ! So hop on over there and get to know her…you’ll thank me!!So here is my tutorial for the Catch and Release Scarf from Anthro. Better late than never right? * Your fabric needs to be light weight, breezy, and somewhat see thru. I think a cotton voile, cotton lawn, or cotton gauze would work really well. I am not sure what mine is made of but I found it on clearance in the home decor section. 1 - Cut your fabric so that you have one long piece that is about 90" x 17"
