It’s been a busy week here! Those of you who follow me on instagram @supermomnocape may have noticed that I’ve been attending weekly webinars hosted by Bonnie of Hobby to Hot and BYBC (Build Your Blog Conference). The webinars are pre-conference training leading up to the conference itself February 19 & 20th. I’m learning so much but figuring out how…
Today I’m sharing another pretty Valentine’s Day pattern but before I do, I just wanted to remind everyone that the In Our Garden Blog Hop starts today over at Sew Incredibly Crazy with Amy sharing the two blocks she designed for February. Be sure to hop over there to see what she’s created for you to make. And don’t forget……
During 2015, that Reindeer and Snowman embroidery pictured below was the only one of the small embroideries that I started the year with that didn’t end up being finished into something by the end of the year. The Merry Christmas Snowman became a zippered pouch stocking. The snowman carrying the Christmas tree was turned into a gift bag. I made…
Last week for Vintage Embroidery Monday, I shared the “Be My Valentine” pattern that according to the Workbasket pattern page was intended to be used to make the front of a small pillow but it could just as easily be stitched and turned into a journal cover, the center panel for a gift bag or even printed off to color…
I had so much planned for the first two weeks of the new year and yet here we are half way through week three and I have so much to catch up on. I had a horrible after Christmas cold and lingering cough that has zapped my energy levels. I get as much done around the house as I can…
I know it seems we’re barely over Christmas and New Years but Valentine’s Day is less than a month away and for those of us who like to give small handmade gifts to those we love, we’ll need to get started soon if we haven’t already. Over the next few weeks, I’ll be sharing some pretty vintage Workbasket Valentine’s patterns…
Yesterday the temperature dropped from +4ºC in the morning to -6ºC by late afternoon and the rain from earlier in the day turned to snow. We’re supposed to get more snow later today and for the next couple of days after that. Winter is making itself felt in south western Ontario! So today’s vintage Workbasket pattern recalls the warm, lazy…
When I bought a half yard of this beautiful horse fabric to make Oldest Daughter’s Christmas gift, I had no intention of making a quilt with it or I would have purchased at least a yard. It is part of the Wild Field line by Dinara Mirtalipova for Windham Fabrics. At first, I thought I would make her a tote…
Are you guilty of not storing your interfacing properly? Let me show you how to store interfacing to keep it wrinkle free and ready to use when you need it. On the weekend, Dave and I made a quick trip across the border so I could use the great coupons that Joanns emailed out last week. The 40% off coupons…
I hope that 2016 is off to a great start for you as we move from holiday mode back to our regular daily/weekly schedules. The first week of the month is always a busy one here on my blog and this week is no different as I’ll be sharing some of my plans for January and the months ahead. I’ve…
