once upon a time

there was a girl with too many craft supplies.

I can't resist crafty bits and I have accumulated

so much stuff so I'm trying very hard

to use some of it to decorate my home.

I have no idea why I bought so many doll 

bookmarks but I did and I think they're cute.

Anyway I glued a whole lot of them to a plain canvas

and hung it on my bedroom wall.

I'm very happy with how it turned out and

now I'm on a mission to use up more

stuff that I've been hoarding  saving.

hello my old friend

It's been such a long time since I've used my faithful old Janome.

Such a long, long time.

I must be starting to feel a bit better because 

I pulled her out and set her to work.

It's slow going but getting there.

The first stitches made me sigh in happiness.

A new life surely deserves a new dress made out of 

lime green, stretchy, crushed velvet!

I promise this blog won't all be about confetti but I found 

this tutorial for confetti hearts and thought it was gorgeous.

With Valentine's Day rocking up quickly they would be

a sweetheart of a thing to make.

I'm thinking a nice big one for a wall hanging.
