Happy Houses Embroidery

September 13, 2012
Brice (who turned 4 at the start of summer) started preschool last week.  It’s not going as smoothly as I had hoped, but it is definitely an adjustment for him being away from me.  I think he is enjoying himself, but he’s not use to playing with so many kids at once, and Brice isn’t your typical crazy kid, he’s pretty calm and relaxed, at least compared to a lot of the kids I see.  Being my only child,...

Fall Stitching Needle Card

September 16, 2011

I have this small, round side table that I decided needs a round, quilted table topper for the fall.  I decorated the other day for fall/Halloween and it looks a little barren in that spot.  So I found a great stitchery at The Floss Box (thanks to Amanda H. for the link) and have...

Coffee Time Cross-Stitch

April 25, 2011

This post originally appeared at Fat Quarterly. Thanks to the beautiful patterns by The Frosted Pumpkin my love of cross-stitch has been renewed.  For a few years now I’ve seen some small pattern companies pop up in local shops with new cross-stitch designs, but found while cute, they weren’t really to my taste.  Then along came Amanda...

Trick or Treat Tote + Pattern

October 17, 2009

I wanted to have a little bag for Brice for Trick or Treating this year, and I knew I wanted to make it myself.  I also knew that I wanted to do something with a pumpkin on linen so I combined the two.  I’m not sure when I decided I wanted to do some...

My mom requested I make this Swedish Braided bread with apple pie filling for her birthday this year, instead of a cake. It smells delicious and I can't wait to dig in! #birthdaytreat #swedishbraidedbread

I decided to make his ornament this year, and while I set out to make a toilet paper roll ornament, he saw white clay and assumed goose, so I made him Lucy goose. He's quite happy, and so am I. He loves our Lucy goose.

I used oven-bake polymer clay (Michael's brand was what I had on hand), acrylic paint (just the craft variety...again, what I already had on hand), and a glossy glaze (Sculpey, which I don't recommend, its gotten very thin since I last used it, it took way too many coats to be the right thickness). The ornament is about 1.5"h x 1.5"w x 0.5"deep. It was really easy to make, so don't say you can't do it. You can.

Taking advantage of my end of year time off from q Taking advantage of my end of year time off from quilting to do a little crafting. I made an ornament for Brice (which I'll share later when it's finished), and then painted these cute little canvases while my paint was out yesterday. You can see individual photos of each of them over on my other account  @christinalanecreates (grouped with the photo like this).
It gets so dark here this time of year, by afterno It gets so dark here this time of year, by afternoon I've lost all light for photos! This is another quilt quilted for @jenny.l.barrett I felt Sashy was the right amount of modern and traditional for this quilt top. I was having a hard time picking a design for this but kept coming back to this. It's a go-to design for me and I always love it on everything. I think it ended up being pretty perfect for this. #sometimescrafterlongarmquilting
