20 minute crafter I've been creating these cute little masterpieces as a way of relieving stress lately! Something about focusing on something so small makes the BIG things in life I am dealing with a little less burdensome to carry! They are simple enough to create, just take a little time and patience. I've been posting them on my Instagram account (@littlebitfunky) and several people requested a tutorial, and well, here it is! To make these tiny pin cushions you will need some fabric scraps, an iron and a cutting mat and ruler. Start by fussy cutting your center square. ...like so. ...and cut the other two sides. Like so. Next cut eight additional squares. Next I like cut (freehanded) some larger scraps. You will work with the squares missing from this photo and your star scraps (yellow fabric here). Start by laying your yellow fabric on top of your background fabric like shown above. Sew like this... Then fold back. Repeat with the other corner... ...like so. Then fold back and press. And press!

Grandma’s Camp Book Chances are our grandma is more fun than your grandma! Okay, she’s not my grandma, but she is my mom, which makes my boys super lucky because she is their grandma. A few years ago she started Grandma’s Camp, and it is now the most talked about–most anticipated event of summer (I think after this year she’s starting to wonder what she’s got herself into!) To announce the theme and dates for Grandma’s Camp she mails each family a book to read. And then on the designated day we hand the kids over to Grandma for days of fun! As a little thank you for the great memories my boys have made with Grandma I made her this Grandma’s Camp book that I hope turns from a scrapbook into a year book that the kids will sign as they get older. To get started all I did was print the pages off on double sided matte photo paper (my favorite!) Apply Mod Podge to both sides, even if you only need it on 1 side. That’s it. Once I had the cover Mod Podged I used The Cinch to put it all together.
