NEW PATTERN: Paper Pieced Letters
Last week my family experienced the joy of celebrating my twin's 11th birthday. I started my business when they were infants and it has grown with them. Changing and adapting just as children do. They love to craft along side me and always have opinions about my creative vision, but I'm glad they speak up. They are often right. So, in honor of their birthday, I whipped up a new birthday banner that will hang above our fire place till after their party. It's a rainbow painting party, so we have been decorating with all the rainbows! If you would like to make your own birthday banner, or spell out some other sentiment on a quilt (I smell children would be a great option) I have finalized the whole alphabet. This foundation paper piecing pattern includes all 4 sizes from 1.5" to 8" so they can fit into whatever amazing thing you are creating.
This week I am going to set up a sewing area just for them. They love working in my studio while I'm down there, and it's high time we aren't sharing a sewing machine. They are both making their own Halloween costumes this year, so we are in the final crunch. Happy Sewing, |

They are human sponges for knowledge, as long as it's not coming from Mom.... another eye roll. (I wonder if their eyes hurt from all that eye rolling. :-) ) Even though they don't want me to be the expert, they love learning from other people. We use this strategy at girl...

Hi, Reader! Something NO ONE tells you about crafting with a Cricut machine is the technical side of things. And if you do not have naturally strong skills with a computer (and even if you do), learning your Cricut machine can seem overwhelming and even down-right impossible when you are new to it or just trying to level up. BUT don't give up because I have something that will help you learn how to overcome that overwhelm and start to craft confidently with your Cricut machine. I'm so excited...
