Mermaid Rag Quilt

I have recently started to make rag quilts. I love the ruffled edges! My latest one has a mermaid and ballerina theme. It is available in my Etsy Shop.

Cabana Bag - Knit with Fabric Strips

I recently finished a custom order for one of my Etsy friends, JG Edge Wear. I wanted to post the finished product, because I have never made anything like this before. The custom order was for a cabana bag made by knitting fabric strips together and then sewing the lining and handles. It was a fun project and helped get me back into knitting, something that I had not done in years!

Is it a Trick or Treat?

It's the Great Pumpkin Charlie Brown Pendant by MisfitGirl

When the doorbell rings the last week of October and nobody is there to greetyou, one has to wonder if there is going to be a trick or a treat. It was dark outside and I was surfing the web to find out the trick or treating hours for our City. We are expecting about 1000 trick or treaters; so I need to be prepared! Anyways ... the doorbell rang. My two-year-old and I went to answer the door and nobody was there. I was half expecting there to be a flaming bag of you know what on the sidewalk. (This actually happened to my Father-in-law) Instead, I found a bag of Halloween treats and a sweet but spooky note. What a nice surprise! Thank you to the neighbor out there who spread a bit of Halloween fun! Happy Halloween to all of you reading this post :)

Note: The pendant is by Misfitgirl on Etsy. I ordered a similar pendant a few years ago and hope to wear it this Halloween!

Fabulous Fall!

I have heard that everyone's favorite season is when they were born. This happens to be true for me. October is my birthday month and my favorite time of year. There is nothing better than picking apples and taking a walk admiring the beautiful fall foliage.
Here are some great fall picks from Etsy!

Learn Your ABC's Lower Case Letters

My little guy can count to 10 thanks to the Counting Book I made for him! Now it's time to start mastering the Alphabet! These felt letters are perfect to play with and practice the ABC's! I love the fact that they are lower case letters, since all of the Alphabet books we have focus on upper case letters. Available for purchase in my Artfire Studio and Etsy Shop.

Barnyard Memory Game - Fabric Felt Educational for Children

My latest fabric memory matching game is barnyard themed with all of your favorite farm animals. As I was finishing the game pieces, I got an idea to make a barn themed bag to hold the pieces in, rather than the usual drawstring bag. I hope that you enjoy the new bag! This set is available in my Artfire Studio and Etsy Shops.

Dinosours Memory Matching Game

Let your child's imagination run wild with these prehistoric dinosaurs. This fun game is educational as it builds deductive reasoning and logic forming skills. There are 18 felt game pieces with playful dinosaurs. There are 2 of each picture, making 9 pairs total. Available in my Artfire Studio and Etsy Shop.

Purple Paisley Fabric Coiled Basket

The newest basket to my Etsy shop is made with purple paisley fabric wrapped cording. This is one of my larger baskets measuring approximately 10 inches across the top, 7 inches across the bottom and is 3 inches high. It is perfect for storing your many household items or stowing away your personal keepsakes.

Back by Popular Demand! Smiles Around the World

I got a request to make one of my Smiles Around the World Memory Matching games last week. I love this fabric which celebrates children from around the world. Being a math teacher, I also love how the game memory helps build deductive reasoning skills in young children! In addition to the set I made as a custom order, I made a couple more sets available in my Artfire Studio and Etsy Shop. You can order the game with either a pink or blue bag. They are already made and ready to be shipped. Hurry - these don't usually last long in my shop!
