Crewel mushrooms

The fickle goddess of hobbies has shifted my interests again. All of my previously lined-up projects have been pushed back. Crewelwork, I am your slave.

Smocking tutorial

I just ran into this tutorial over on See Kate Sew for smocking, it was written by Danielle from the lovely My Sparkle. I think it would be lovely on skirts, or to do at the top of a simple curtain panel. Go check it out and get smocking!

Coral and Tusk

I saw these Coral and Tusk embroidered dolls on Pinterest and was immediately sold. How beautiful are they? As someone who has been working on some crewel embroidery like a fiend all weekend I'm flabbergasted by the amount of work in these. Gorgeous. And they don't just do sweet dolls, but amazing pillows, wall art, etc. Bravo to you Coral and Tusk!

New Dena Designs fabric

Are you in the mood to make some summer clothes? Or, in my case Roman shades? Because we have the fabric for you! New Dena Designs cotton/linen 54" super soft yummy fabric. J wants the navy ornament for roman shades for our family room, but I'm a little iffy. Maybe I'll throw some pics up and you can tell me what you think. I of course wanted the orange. And e thinks I should make a three piece suit out of the three colors of pinstripes. Actually, wouldn't that be amazing? I could get into that..
