LOVE

Happy Valentines Day, hope your day is filled with love!


Here is something I am loving at the moment.

It is my camera strap! I made is yesterday and love how it turned out. You can find the tutorial here, the only problem is that it is in cm and mm instead of inches. I figured it out, but did not leave myself enough room to top stitch. Next time! It is a quick easy project that I had been wanting to make for a long time and decided to just do it!

Have a happy day!!

Be Mine-Vintage Valentine Swap

I have had a bit of writers block lately so that is the reason I haven't posted much this week. Usually I have so many ideas swimming around in my head I can never get to them all. It must be my prego brain:)

Here are pictures of the Be Mine Vintage Valentine Swap- that my partner and I sent to each other. My partner was April, and I love all the fun goodies she sent me.

She altered this lovely heart box and it was filled with all the goodies!

She made all these lovely items. The birds are my fave!! The jumbo clip is all ready in use too!

All the goodies! We used the cookie cutters the other day. I love the pad of paper, I was in need of a new pad. I painted Gabs nails last night, and she loved the colors of the polish. Can't wait to use all the crafting goodies!

She sent these goodies for the kidos. And the cute ornament was a hostess gift for the Vintage Pink Christmas Swap! SO sweet of her!

Here are the goodies I sent. I made the love heart and altered the chocolate box. I also made the container out of vintage sheet music.

All the goodies in the box!

This is the rest of the goodies I sent her. I got the vintage table cloth ages ago at an estate sale, I have two more:)

I am taking a swap break for a while, I did too many in to short of a time and I think I am swapped out. Easter may tempt me to do one though:)

Have a Hvintappy Valentine Day!

New Item & A Gift

Two posts in one day, its a miracle! I have added a new item to the Shoppe. Vintage Sheet Fat quarter Packs, just in time for spring sewing.

Here is set one, there are two available here.

All the fabric you will get in the set.

Second set is available here.

I received this yesterday as a hostess gift for the Be Mine Vintage Valentine from Mary Jo. Such a fun surprise. I love the vintage valentine and the sweet collage she made.
