I was surfing the web today when I ran across a tutorial for making button flowers. I thought about my little granddaughters – what a perfect “activity” for them! These flowers could easily be made into a child’s necklace or bracelet, and I know they would LOVE to make them. Thank you Rebeka at ArtsyCraftyBabe [...]

When I made the hooded bath towels for my grandchildren, who would have thought how easy bathtime would become! They simply LOVE to wear their hooded bathtowels around the house after bath time until we can get them into their pajamas! Aren’t they just adorable!!! Check out the home page of Patterns2Go and see other [...]

I have just figured out another GREAT way to sell your craft items – get rid of some of your fabric scraps and make some extra money! Do you live in an area where you hold yard sales or garage sales from time to time? Or if you live in a subdivision perhaps you can organize [...]

For over two months my grandson (5 year old brother of the 4 year old quadruplets) has been telling his mother (my daughter) that he wanted to be a robot for Halloween. I never heard a word about any of this until last Saturday when he was at our house and saw something about Halloween [...]

How can you in sewing businesses help your customers save money? I truly believe this Holiday Season will see fewer gifts given, and those who will be giving gifts will be looking for “deals”. The current economy, where people are losing jobs left and right, where homes are being foreclosed on and where those who DO [...]

The 12 in 1 Magic Ruler is exactly what it sounds like — one “magic” ruler that can be used 12 different ways. This ruler can be made into a yardstick, a t-square, an L-square, a triangle, a square; use the scalloped edge for making scallops on quilting projects, sewing projects and pillows. The 12 [...]

Now that school has started, you are probably seeing how many sandwich zip lock bags you’re going through! YIKES! A box of those little bags don’t seem to last very long! Well, I’d like to say a big THANK YOU to The Instructables website for giving a great tutorial for making a reusable sandwich wrap. [...]

With school starting, we’ll all have a difficult time keeping track of all the school events, personal appointments, work schedule, etc, so I think this French Memo Board by Jen Madsen is just the perfect thing. It’s so pretty that I’m not so sure I’d want to “clutter” it up with notes, grocery lists, to-do [...]

It is always so much fun to make things for children. My 3 1/2 year old quadruplet grandbabies (and their 5 year old big brother) are always THRILLED with something new that Mamaw made for them. And, you know what – it doesn’t even matter if there might be little flaws in it, or if [...]
