Craft Stash

Okay okay… so I’ve always had a bit of a hoarding problem when it comes to my craft stash – I realize this. But after seeing this post from Linda at Craftaholics Anonymous, it made me laugh out loud because just the other day I think Danny finally realized the extent of it. He knew I had a lot of yarn and was accumulating a lot of fabric… but earlier this week he went looking for something in the guest room (or what I call my sewing room) :). He came back and said something along the lines of “I didn’t realize you’d filled up every drawer!” Ooops… he caught me ;) haha At least I know I’m not alone… :) Until next time,

Sunday Sew Love: 7 September

 (top/left) no time to sew Summer Wardrobe Staples | (top/right) Thread Theory Kimono (bottom/left) Two Random Words Jenna Cardi | (bottom/right) The Felted Fox DIY Pleated Skirt Basics on the left… not-so-basics on the right! I love all of these! I really need to get my sewing mojo back! :) Actually, I need to get my selfish sewing mojo back… I’ve been sewing, I just can’t share any of it yet ;) Oh, and check it out… had big plans last month for the TMS Let Them Sew Cake Challenge… planned to make this and this. But after I spent two evenings taping my pattern together… some puppy that I know (Finn!) thought it would be fun to do this: Yes. He ate it. After that, I lost my motivation. He also munched through one of my fun vintage patterns from my grandma :( Anyone else have this problem!? :/ Oh, pups! Luckily, all of my patterns are now out of his reach! Hope you enjoy the rest of your weekend! Until next time,

A Puppy Box for Pattern Storage

Up till now, I had my sewing patterns in drawers, under the guest bed, and random pieces falling all over the place. Decided to do some consolidating today and use some of the fabric Danny got me for Christmas to make a storage box. I made this one the same way I made the last one, just bigger. Yay! Finally organized! :) And recycled a cardboard box… win, win. Until next time,

Sunday Sew Love: 31 August

(top) MP by Maude Carme not so Carme Blouse | (right) House of Pinheiro That’s going to be a flasher… (bottom/left) create / enjoy It’s darling! It’s… a romper! | (bottom/center) Clipped Curves Out dam spot I actually picked up this romper pattern (bottom left) a little while back and have been wanting to try it. And/or make the dress version… but pretty sure I need a romper. Who doesn’t… right!? :) Also, Rachel of House of Pinheiro wasn’t sure about her polka dot dress, but I think it’s awesome. So it’s a bit of a flash risk… gotta live on the edge sometimes, right?! :) But I’m 100% sure I would have the same problem here in Wyoming… the wind never quits! Until next time,
