Double Rainbow
I’ve sold a strange amount of my double rainbow pillows lately. I figured a rainbow treasury was in order.
Friday Create Along giveaway, on a Wednesday!
I’ve done some poking around and found some neat patterns to add to my growing list of ‘make this for the create along’ items. Luckily I’ve also dome some asking around and I’ve been told I’m allowed to share a pattern or two with a lucky reader. I’m also going to challenge myself here and switch to a crochet pattern and hope for the best. These are adult slippers, but Two Girls Patterns also have a toddler version . . . sometimes it’s a good thing I have 2 boys.
Sooooo if you would like to win a PDF copy of this pattern leave a comment below. You don’t have to jump through any hoops to win. However, I would love it if you can actually make the slippers for the Create Along and if you could share your creation (email me or post it in the Flickr group).
I’ll keep the comments open until Friday’s Create Along post, which, if I’m honest with myself will probably go up in the late afternoon for me now that Friday is one of my full days at work. I’ll pick one lucky reader and email them a copy of the pattern. Then we can get our crochet on! Good luck everyone.
I broke my promise.
I said to myself I would work through the stash of fabric I have, but then I found some cute stuff online and well, you know how it goes. A few clicks and an order (possibly two) was placed. Yeah, I need help. But behold the pretty colours and prints.
Most of it is Khristian A Howell’s The Woodlands collection. There’s an Etsy search so you can see all the prettiness. I ordered mine from Fabricworm.
It’s my birthday! It’s my birthday!
Annnnnnnd my BFF is pretty awesome. Here’s some of the fun goodies she got me (she snooped in my Etsy favs). There’s a really cool nautical patterned fabric.
Some fun vinyl stuff, nice linen/cotton blends, fun ribbon and a button.
And this cool piece with vintage images on it, it’s some sort of panel type thing. I’ll find a use for it.
Luckily it’s a half day of work for me so here’s hoping Nate has a nice nap and Wesley is enamoured with his LEGO yet again this afternoon and maybe I can wander off and create something fun with all this pretty new stuff!
I’ve also got a DIY post featured here today, a little back to school organization sewing project that anyone with little kids to get ready will love. Hope you all have a great day, even if it’s not your birthday!
Pyrex love
I should have been writing a different post I have all the photos for, instead I went window shopping on Etsy. I had to share.

It doesn’t take much to send me shopping on Etsy.
Amy posted an image of vintage hair barrettes that were so gorgeous, I just had to run to Etsy and see if I could find some.
The little red glasses and scissors are ridiculously awesome. Sadly, I didn’t find those particular ones. But I did find many other cute one. Have a peek. Click images to be whisked away.
Recent packages in my mailbox and more fabric swapping
My treasury worked! My hubby got me this, from here.
And these! Only they say ‘Tara’ and not ‘Stephanie blahblah’.
I also took advantage of a Heartsy deal and ordered some packaging supplies from this shop.
If you missed my fabric swap, or want to see scraps before you get them, my friend Tabatha is looking to part with some lovely pieces in return for some new to her fabric. I was with her when she bought most of these recently and it’s great stuff. Head over if you’re interested in taking a peek.
Bartering fun
I had the pleasure of meeting Celine of Blue Calla at a Mommy’s night out thing a while back. With my pathetic willpower and purse/tote/bag addiction I wasn’t able to walk out without one of her items. She touches on so many of my favourite things like beautiful fabrics and Keyka Lou patterns. She also makes her own creations that are fantastically made and lovely to behold. Here’s the bag I bought.
Recently she attempted the ditty bag and wasn’t so sure about how it would be received. I offered to take this cute little one off her hands. We ended up working out a barter. Shortly after my fun little ditty bag arrived.
I’ve done a few barters before, they work out really well at craft shows, especially since you can do more than one and walk away with *all* your earnings. So check out Blue Calla’s shop, new blog and Facebook. You might see something you like!
Silly new cozy.
I don’t even remember how but I stumbled up on LittleRedAfro’s Etsy shop one day and saw this really funny little painting she had done.
I contacted her and asked her if she minded me putting it on a cozy. She said go ahead and just let the world know it was her idea. So behold my cozy based on her little painting.
I think it’s pretty funny, but I’ve got a dorky sense of humour. I’m making one for her as a thank you for letting me have some fun with her design. If you want one you can get one here.
