Crocheters are remarkably generous people. They give their time and talents to friends and loved ones, often just for the joy of seeing a smile on the other person's face. And there are dozens of charity groups, large and small, that focus on crocheting to help others. Many of those have specific needs and requirements. Today I would like to share some patterns you don't have to be part of a group to make - but they all promote awareness and activism right in the design! Perfect for fundraisers or just letting someone know they're loved. A lot of the

Some food lovers collect spices, while others collect vintage cake stands. For me, I collect recipes for flatbreads and I love them. Lefse, in particular, is a flatbread I’ve been eyeing for some time now. Made from leftover mashed potatoes, lefse makes a thin and soft flatbread that’s more substantial than a crêpe but more delicate and chewy than a flour tortilla.
I'm not great with words (especially this past week...I've left many sentences unfinished! Teething babies will have that effect on you, haha) I had so many questions about my scrappy blanket, if you've been following me for a while you know I made MANY attempts. I tried the mitered squares, the arrows, simple garter
Storytime! When my Grandma graduated high school she was voted most likely to be the first woman on Mars. She's 94 now and is still planning to go someday. ^_^ When I started making stickers, her one request was that I make one of Mars so she could put it on her car. So here's my attempt! She was happy with her planet hugging astronaut, so I hope you will be too. The first picture is more true to color of the actual sticker. For some reason my camera was washing out the color on the other picture. This durable sticker is made from vinyl that resists scratching, heat, water and sunlight and has a matte finish. They are dishwasher safe as long as they're put on with no air bubbles. ^_^ If they are damaged in shipping, send me a picture, and I will get you a new one!

A light, tasty soup for lunch is all I crave somedays. When I have a few weeks of too many dinners out, one too many champagnes, and not enough rest, my body lets me know. It feels tired and slow, I get headaches and just want to curl up and snooze. A good way to fight this is with a healthy detoxi
Well hello there! I hope everyone had a fabulous weekend! So many of you have asked me to do a tutorial on how I made my duvet cover. Silly girl that I am, I didn't take any photos while I was making the actual cover, but I will try to "re-create" the photos. This post is very picture heavy but I wanted to make sure it covered everything! This is the original photo I was inspired by. This little beauty from Pottery Barn came with a $250 price tag which I was not about to pay. So I headed on over to my local fabric store bought my own fabric and went from there. I bought 2 bolts of unbleached muslin (with coupons of course) and used 35 yards of that. This is what I came out with. I have a king size bed so I will give you the supplies for that size and you can add or deduct from that. Supplies: 35 yards unbleached muslin (44in wide) White Thread Trim (for the ties at the end) A LOT of patience! Start out by taking 20 yards of the muslin straight off the bolt (still folded in half). Take that 20 yards and lay it out as straight as possible then start cutting your muslin into 5 yard pieces. You should have four 5 yard pieces. Take each piece, unfold it so it is no longer folded in half and tear or cut it straight up the middle at the crease so that each 5 yard piece is now 2 pieces. You should now have eight 5 yard pieces. (I really hope i am making sense!!) Now comes the most time consuming part. You take each piece and ruch it with your sewing machine (pronounced roosh). This means you take the fabric and pinch it along the edge as you're sewing it. Do that to both edges of every piece. You can pin each one if you'd like but I got the same result without pinning and it saved me some time :) Once each 5 yard section is finished you should have eight nicely ruched pieces. Now it is time to connect them all! For this step I did go with pinning to make sure they stayed in place as I was sewing. I pinned one section at a time. Once that part was sewn on I pinned the next and so on. You should now have the top piece of your duvet cover finished. The next part should be a piece of cake now :) Take three pieces of muslin, wide enough to cover the width of the top and connect them together horizontally. This is the back of the cover. Once the back of the cover is in one piece, sew the two pieces together leaving an opening at the bottom. This is the part where you use your decorative trim. I chose a lace trim which I thought added a little elegance. Cut 12 strips long enough to be able to tie two together. These are going to be the ties at the bottom of the cover to enclose your comforter. Measure the distance you want between each tie, then sew six on the top and six on the bottom. It will end up looking like this... Put your down comforter inside, tie up the bottom and voila! Please feel free to contact me with any questions or help you may need. I tried to make this as understandable as possible but sometimes my directions don't always translate well! :) If you do not want to make your own, you can purchase one HERE! I hope you all have a great time crafting and making your home beautiful! ***EDIT: Ombre Ruffled Duvet Cover found here***
