I have been away from my blog for quite awhile and I feel really bad I haven’t done any updating! I re-joined Stampin’ Up! as a demonstrator and have been pretty busy with that. I have a demonstrator website that you can visit to see some great projects, and sign up to receive my newsletter. You can also order right online! I’m hoping to do some video tutorials so keep an eye out for those.

I have also re-opened my Etsy shop! I have my project pyramids, some business card wallets, and some very cute Ditty Bags made from a pattern by Keyka Lou Designs. Check them out here.

So over the summer, I have been using Stumble Upon! It’s a really great site that allows you to surf over random web pages that are associated with your interests. One of my interests is anything craft related. One of the pages that I stumbled on was for some sponge bombs. I can’t remember what the site is now, but I remember the idea. I wanted to share this with others so I made a video tutorial. Hope you enjoy it!

I have been busy trying to get some more items sewn for my Etsy shop. I have been very fond of patterns from Michelle at Keyka Lou Patterns. She has a great shop at Keyka Lou Patterns as well as her Etsy shop Keyka Lou Etsy. Here are some of the latest items that I have sewn from her patterns.

I have finally finished the spinning for my Peaks and Valleys scarf. All I have to do now is start knitting! It’s almost finished, about 50% done. Next up after that is to finish the Snapdragon Flip-tops from Ysolda.

I have almost finished the spinning for my Peaks and Valley scarf, made from Dicentra Designs color way October. The fiber is blue faced Leicester, so soft and an awesome spin! Can’t wait until I can get this one finished! It’s on the top of the list.
