Hey, I got felt!

Oops, my posts titles are sounding more and more like some pornographic site, but it’s fun to spoof all of you into thinking whatever your devious little minds want to because I am talking about wool felt here people!
The little wonder wash did a bit of a wonder on my crocheted purse strap. It took [...]

Non-electric felting machine?

Can it truly be that I have found THE perfect solution for felting my knitted and crocheted items? I just bought this new toy, the Wonder Wash, for felting. The reason I did this is because I found out my front-load washing machine is terrible at felting, probably because it’s high efficiency and only uses [...]

This award was given to me by Donna, a very “kreativ” blogger in her own right.  What a treat on a winter Monday morning to wake up to! Thanks Donna….very nice of you. See how sheep just bring people together, whether the fed kind or the collected kind? Well, now I have to get [...]

Homemade ’sponge’ recipe, free knit design

In going through my stash this weekend, I found a bunch of 100% cotton yarn leftover small pieces from former projects. I found a truly useful project to use them in and wanted to share with you. Jami’s Knitted ‘Sponge’.
I don’t like the way sponges get sour and need to run through the dishwasher only [...]

Sewing Expo

It’s a fact of life in the northwest that we have a cold winter and that’s just life. It does get old. DH says bring it on…we need the snow pack for the water the melt brings in the spring. I find ways to get through it through my crafts and doing things indoors. I’m [...]

The day after…

Thanks for the birthday wishes, Donna. Hope your year is starting out great and it sounds like it’s pretty soon? The big 5-0?  Went out for that scrumptious Mexican food dinner with son and DIL last night..boy the roads were slick. This morning it’s blowing snow and the driveway is almost blown shut. DH had [...]

Making plans in my sleep

TGIF! Yippee, I ran into town this morning to pickup work and there wasn’t any. I know that could be a bad thing if it were a regular deal, but it’s a great thing for this particular Friday before Christmas and it works for me, baby! So, I ran by the bookstore and found a [...]

Sewing up a storm in Santa’s workshop

I spent all weekend sewing up Christmas presents and there were some definite challenges but in the end I completed 3 projects! Yeah! My Viking Sapphire is a fun, beautiful and lovely machine but boy, it sure doesn’t care for heavy-duty projects and complains the whole time. “Pressure foot too high” or “motor overload, please [...]
