Yep, with sweaty palms and lots of hesitation, I just entered myself in Family Ever After’s Sew-Vivor competition. I’m not sure what has gotten into me as those who know me, I’m the one who hangs around just happy to watch all the going ons. I am an introvert by nature and I don’t like read further...

Remember my post 3 weeks ago? The no sew project I was working on were these wooden button paperclips (and the felt hair clips). Did you work it out? I bought a bunch of the wooden buttons a while back, and with no specific project in mind, I decided to turn some of them into read further...

in Crafty News
I found these stickers stuck on my sewing machine. Do you think little miss is hinting for me to get her one of these? I’m a bit partial to Hello Kitty myself and I love this green retro colour.
