I've never been much of an ice cream eater--until the awesomeness that is New Zealand ice cream became my norm and now I might have a problem. I used to be adamant that ice cream is only for summers, but it's fully winter here and I had a bowl of cookies and cream last night (with chocolate sauce) (and a marshmallow). This fun Felt Ice Cream Cone Scissors Pouch is making me super happy right now with far fewer calories than my bowl last night. This post contains affiliate ... Read More

Felt Witch’s Hat Scissors Pouch
I'm desperate for all things Halloween right now. It's only fair to assume that my stitching accessories are feeling the same way, right?!? I realized that my poor scissors didn't have a Halloween costume, so I made them this fun Felt Witch's Hat Scissors Pouch. This scissors holder is a fun way to keep them contained this holiday season. Supplies: Witch's Hat Scissors Pouch PDF black and orange felt (mine came from Cloud Craft) black beads orange and black thread (I used ... Read More
Patriotic Felt Heart Ornaments
I don't know what it is about warm weather that makes people feel more patriotic. It's more obvious to me in the States because summer starts with Memorial Day, includes the Fourth of July, and ends with Labor Day (roughly), but I've seen it in the other places I've lived, too. Scott and I have now lived in three countries that call red, white, and blue their own (New Zealand, USA, and the UK) and I love being able to create something that could be called patriotic for all three. These Patriotic ... Read More
Spring Flower Wreath
I love being pushed to craft with new to me materials. I'll be honest with you--I've never been a big fan of burlap and have barely used it in my crafting and decorating. When it was announced that the supply for the Create with Cricut challenge in March was burlap, I cringed a little inside. But, once I figured out how to fit burlap into my style, I can see why people are drawn to it. The burlap gives a lovely extra layer of texture to my Spring Flower Wreath and I'm really happy with how it ... Read More
Button Bouquet Brooch
We had a bit of a much enjoyed warmer spell recently and it got us all so incredibly antsy for spring. There were even some flowers that started to show signs of waking up and it was such a welcome sight. It was lovely to not be as bundled as we have been and I felt inspired to make this Button Bouquet Brooch to celebrate the start of our transition to spring. Supplies: felt buttons thread pin back scissors measuring tape This is another project that is easily ... Read More
Felt and Fabric Circle Hoop
When we started the moving process last year, I realized pretty quickly that I wasn't going to be able to keep up with my blog and work on an international move at the same time. It was hard--I felt like I was losing my blog and it was incredibly hard to say no to work and see collaborations go by. One thing that the forced break gave me, though, was a chance to really think about what direction I wanted to go. I've had amazing opportunities in my blogging years, but I've also made bad choices ... Read More
