Free Vintage Embroidery Patterns

Any embroiderers out there?
Floresita has tons of free vintage patterns at My Transfers. I especially like this little sailor boy and hula girl

Fabric gift tags and poms

I love love a pretty wrapped package. I know people are going to just rip it open, but still…
Purl Bee has directions for these sweet little tags and poms. They’d be so easy to make these with scrap fabric and yarn. I love it!

Sad News…

Our dear friend Jill passed away yesterday morning….
Please keep her husband, J.T. and their families in your prayers.

Wedding Invitations

Stephanie contacted me a couple of months ago about doing an invitation set for her. I was so excited as this is the first invitation I’ve done outside of my family.

Prayers please

Over the past year and a half, I’ve gotten to know a great group of girls. We all got married in December and had lots of fun talking throughout wedding planning.

I got the grapevine wreath for $1.50 and the orange artificial flowers for around $5 at Hobby Lobby. I didn’t even need wire! [...]

DIY Rock Candy!

I found this over on WiseCraft a few days ago (scroll the the bottom of the post for the recipe). So fun and wouldn’t it to be cool to make your own Halloween candy? You could make these in orange and tie them in a little baggy with black ribbon. Perfect treats for neighborhood kids, [...]

Rehearsal dinner invitations

Just thought I’d show what I’ve been busy with lately. My step mother in law’s son is getting married at the beach in October and since she’s co-hosting the dinner and wanted to send some business my way, she asked me to make them!
They’re having a casual crawfish boil for the rehearsal dinner and were [...]

Sandwich wraps

I believe this is Martha Stewart. I saved it so long ago, I can’t exactly remember. Sorry!
But how darling are these? Simple giftwrap or scrapbook paper wrapped around a sandwich makes it so much more fun!
