First of all, I hope everyone had a wonderful Christmas! We spent it with a lot of our family and had a wonderful time. Unfortunately, all the stress of making a present for literally everyone landed me with a horrible cold and the family got the stomach flu that’s going rampant around this time of [...]
I had made a few bows for a holiday activity and had them laying around. I was looking at some of my cards on my fridge and realized that the Ensenada, Mexico surfboard holding one of them up was kind of taking away from the beauty of the card. That’s when the light bulb went [...]
Sunday Sneak Peak…. on Monday. Holidays are so busy so I’m sorry I’m a day late! I am not doing this quilt as quickly as I would like. Who knew piecing quilts was so time consuming? It’s a good thing it will be so cute! I finally got all my pieces cut out! I laid [...]
I had a little bit of leftover ruffled ribbon from my ruffled ribbon Christmas trees, and I decided to use it in a bow. I used the ruffled Forest Green Polka Dot Ribbon as the base of the bow. I hot glued it onto felt and then cut around the glue when it dried. For [...]
There are many ways to make these cute little bows and this is my version. I am putting up two different ways and looks to a little bow. I used 3/8″ Ribbon for this bow, but even smaller ribbon, like 1/8″ Solid Grosgrain, works great too. I don’t cut the ribbon at all before starting. [...]
I’ve decided to give sneak peaks on Sundays of projects that I have in the works. I’m hoping that by seeing the fun ribbons and fabrics, you’ll get creative inspiration for future projects. I have had old jeans in a drawer for over a year. The plan was to make a jean quilt. And thanks [...]
The only thing that’s as much fun to make as bows are ribbon sculptures! For this holiday season, I have two different Christmas trees and presents to match! Christmas Tree #1 Supplies: Green Ribbon in 3/8″ Brown Ribbon in 3/8″ (I used 1/4″ because that’s all I had.) Red Ribbon in 3/8″ *For the ribbons, [...]
Our family collection is complete! Dad and Ryan both have stockings now. See Mom’s on the Quilted Christmas Stocking post. The hardest part to these stockings is the personalization of the names and the stitching around them. If you just wanted to iron on the fabric, it will save you about an hour. Without this, [...]
Is any one else still crafting for Christmas? I wish I could say that I am all done and sipping hot chocolate while watching old Christmas movies, but the truth is I feel like I am just getting started! I am so happy to have this project done. It is so pretty and really adds [...]
Most of the ribbon for this bow came from the North Pole Seasonal Ribbon Mix. I started with the Boutique Bow using 1 1/2″ Solid Grosgrain Ribbon in Apple Green. Then I did Spikes using 7/8″ Polka Dot Ribbon in Red/White and 5/8″ Polka Dot Ribbon in Green/Red. I tried really hard this time to [...]
