I recently went on a “spending spree” in my neighborhood thrift stores. Our little corner of DC is lucky enough to have three right along the same street within 4 blocks or four-tenths of a mile of each other (I will list them at the end of the post)
So here is my haul:
And here is [...]
I always know there’s going to be something good when I catch up on my blog reading over at Make It Do. Although I probably will not have the time to make these lovely napkins/silverware rolls until I’m 80, they sure are sweet! Check out how to make them here.
Hey readers – Just thought I’d share with you a giveaway over at Bitter Betty Blogs. Click HERE or on the picture below to go to the contest page for more details and to enter. Her blog post also has a nifty vintage guide to ironing.
Note: Maybe I can work on these after I settle down from the excitement of being showcased on WhipUp.net.
I have a lot of projects waiting to be finished (none of them really important…just taking up space in my WIP box, which is almost full).
BUT I just saw these chickens at How About Orange (and via [...]
I’m so tired of hearing about people with their outlandishly priced weddings. I mean, there are brides out there who get two outfits, one for the ceremony, one for the reception! NO! You do not need that, you spoiled brat! Ugh, it kills me.

If I saw a total of 50 people in the whole place, not just those that walked past my [...]
Hannah at Knick Knacks and Ric Rac has a lovely post about Hungarian Honey Cake Placemats. She always has such lovely examples of Eastern European and German crafting as well as vintage goodies and style.
And as a person of Magyar descent, although I’m always learning about my ancestor’s culture, I’m fascinated by these honey cakes. They [...]
Yes, that is St George and the Dragon…made out of cardboard.
Yesterday I treated myself to a trip to the Museum of Art and Design (MAD) at Columbus Circle in New York. It was $15 for an adult, which is steep for someone who lives in Smithsonian Land where museums are supposed to be free. But [...]
The Patriots are usually the favorite around here, but I do love to see the Saints win because I love New Orleans. I also love fleurs-de-lis, so this post by Artsy-Crafty Babe is right up my alley!
Lovely work, Rebeka!
Oh, as if I need another project on my to-do list, I found this tutorial via Whip Up.
I’m so glad Whip Up helped me discover Penny at SewTakeAHike. She’s quite talented and not the run of the mill sewer quilter who just puts together rectangles and squares then stipple quilts everything. There seems to be [...]
