Just Moved


After much frustration with WordPress free blogging, I am moving my blog this way to make life simpler. I currently have other blogs I help with and write at here, so it made sense to make the move. Please feel free to check some of my previous work at http://cardsncrafts.wordpress.com if you want to find more about me.

Fun New Sewing Project

When I joined a swap on Swap-Bot to make some of these great little pouches, I fell in love. They are simple, sweet and so adorable! I have already made a couple of them (as seen in photos) and hope to make a number of them for gifts or possibly listing on Etsy.
The fabulous tutorial to make them yourself can be found at Keyka Lou's Sewing Blog

Sewing for Swap-Bot

I have enjoyed so many swaps lately, but I find myself gravitating toward the wonderful sewing projects that are often linked to fabulous tutorials.  There are some amazing people and projects to find online.
Here is an example of a fun swap I recently did using the Circle Zip Pouch Tutorial from Erin Erickson of Dog Under My Desk.  I love this pattern and the resulting pouch was fun to share.

Absent from Blogging but Always Creating

Many days have been spent busy with life and not the computer.  I am a homeschooling mother of 4 that often finds the days fly by.  I spend my evenings and periodic chances through the day working on projects I enjoy.  So in my absence on the blog, I have completed many things.  Here are a few to share.
