Happy Friday! Awhile back at an estate sale I bought this vintage Christmas carol booklet. I just fell in love with that adorable santa and that pretty holly font. There is something about 50's fonts and graphics that I adore! It was published in 1953, and I am thinking these were maybe given out to customers at the Security-First National Banks? How neat would that have been! A few months ago I saw this tutorial from the Dutch Sisters on how to crochet pretty scallops around Christmas cards. I have been meaning to try it, so when getting all my Christmas decorations out, and some inspiration from my dear friend Gina who was going to make some with cards, I thought these sweet carols would be perfect. I intended to do a pretty garland with them, but have decided to make them as gifts for Christmas. I still need finish making a hanging loop for each them, and if I have any left over, I still might make a Christmas Carol garland. How lovely would that be! I copied the carols onto heavy card stock, and then followed the directions from the Dutch Sisters. If you would like to give a try, you can print this carol and just follow the tutorial. They are so pretty when finished, and would even look cute as ornaments, too! A few months ago I was working on a couple of secret projects and I am so excited to share them with you today! In September, Tasha from A Little Sweetness came out with her adorable line of fabric called The Simple Life. She had sweetly emailed me asking if I would be interested in making a couple of items to be displayed at the fall quilt market using her new fabrics and embroidery patterns. It was definitely an easy, yes!! I was beyond thrilled and so honored to do it!! The first project I made was a mini quilt using her embroidery pattern called, "Laundry Day". I did a little hand quilting and adorned it with soft pink crocheted scallops. I adore the redwork, and it was actually my first time doing a pattern all in red. I loved how it came out! The next project was a pretty apple pillow, like the one I made for fall from the Bustle and Sew e-magazine. Tasha's fabrics were the perfect match for those sweet apples!! I had such a fun time creating these two projects and it was so neat to see them being displayed at her beautiful booth, which you can see some photos here. Also, to see more of Tasha's sweet patterns and illustrations make sure you head over to her etsy shoppe and blog! Thank you Tasha for giving me this amazing opportunity! :) Wishing you a most lovely and creative weekend!!

Il primo maggio nelle illustrazioni lo vorrei rappresentare con i lavori. Alcuni di questi sono diventati inesistenti o si sono modificati nel corso degli anni. Queste illustrazioni di Mariapia da "Cosa farò" rappresentano i lavori femminili. Di questo illustratorenon ricordo il nome. Le immagini sono prese dal pps "Imparo un mestiere". Dal pps "Che farò da grande" di Felicita Kuhn.
Here are two more versions of the 1970s Simplicity pattern (#8429). This dress is easy to put together, but I always obsess over the details -- like deciding where to place the pattern pieces on the fabric to make the coloring (tie dye dress) or the design (elephant dress) just the way I want it.�

What makes does a door swing open? It's the insignificant hinges that we hardly ever notice. And yet without the hinges the door cannot open or close. And so it is with our daily life. It cannot function without the seemingly common and insignificant things of life. Making beds, sweeping, vacuuming, and cleaning up the house seem so commonplace. Bu...
When I was little, my friend Jason and I would walk to "Taylor's," a little store that was very close to my house, and buy a candy called "Circus Peanuts." They are orange and marshmallow-y and shaped like a very large peanut. My favorite color was orange and I really liked the movie Dumbo, so I think that's how I arrived at eating the Circus Peanuts. It can't be because of the way they taste. They are kind of yucky. But despite their yucky-ness, I can't resist buying Circus Peanuts when I see them for sale anywhere. (They are not readily available these days...I can't imagine why.) When I eat that peanut shaped marshmallow, it makes me feel like I am a little girl rejoicing in the simple pleasures of summer and spending time with sweet friends. Camp Take Me Away is like eating a giant Circus Peanut. CTMA is a retreat for women who camped or worked at Camp Desoto in years gone by. For 5 days, they get to be campers and re-live the summers that they spent on the mountain. Many of the ladies are dear old friends and some are new faces, but they all have a common experience that binds them together. Can you imagine how fun it would be to go to one of your favorite places with your favorite people?! It is probably my favorite week to work at camp. Thank you, Camp Desoto, for letting me be a part of this retreat! Now, let's get down to business. I taught crafts for Camp Take Me Away, and this year we made fun fancy wreaths. Just look at these Craft Mama's working their fingers to the bone! The ladies made so many different and beautiful wreaths...I wish that I had a picture of each one to show you. Here is an example wreath that I made. This one is wrapped in burlap and decorated with bright felt flowers... The other example I made is covered with pages of an old book. How great would this be for a book club? It could be cool to use an old hymnal or music book for this project, as well. Love it! What's that? You want to know how to make your own book wreath? Well, let's do it! Book Wreath Tutorial First you will need a straw wreath form and burlap cut into approximately 2 inch strips. For a 24 inch wreath, you will need about a half yard of burlap. Wrap the burlap strips around your wreath. Secure ends with hot glue or straight pins. Next, you will need an old book. You could just as easily use a new book, but the yellowed pages of an old book give the wreath more interest. Carefully cut, or gently tear, the pages from the book. Roll each page into a little scroll and secure with hot glue. Tie each scroll with twine. I mostly tied singular scrolls, but I also tied a dozen or so multiple bundles (2 or 3 scrolls tied together). It will take about 75 scrolls to cover a wreath. Use strait pins or hot glue to secure the scrolls to the wreath. Here's a helpful hint...I glued my multiple scroll bundles (2's and 3's) to the wreath first in even increments (think of a clock- tie bundles at 12, 3, 6, and 9) and then filled in between those. Glue a small loop of twine to the back of the wreath as a hanger. Hang. Enjoy. Admire. That's all there is to it! Easy Peasy. Go find yourself some Circus Peanuts, pretend you're at Camp Take Me Away, and make a book wreath. Lovin' ya. Mel Dark
Saviez-vous que le sapin de Noël n'est devenu une tradition populaire qu'à partir des années 1850 ? À cette époque, de nombreux sapins étaient alors illuminés par de véritables bougies ! Mais après de nombreux incendies, les gens ont préféré opter pour des guirlandes et des décorations. À la fin des années 1800 et au début des années 1900, il n'existait pas vraiment de consensus
