This week finds me in recovery mode after a very rough week. I’m still not 100% but I am getting there. Unrelated to that, my arm is fine, the red mark is from the allergic reaction I mentioned in my last video. I have had a LONG last few weeks.
Hello, friends. No video from me today. I haven’t been feeling well and I am just not up for recording. I do have some show and tell that I will save for next week. I hope you’re all well!
This week I spill the beans about my allergic reaction and the project it inspired (skip to 2:47:03 if you’d rather not), share my next two HST blocks, alterations to a previously unworn made-by-me blouse, and making 20 cloth napkins from a thrifted cotton sheet!
From my allergy inspired project: Generation T by Megan Nicolay can be found used or you can use this link if you prefer a new one. I don’t receive anything if you use the link, just wanted to share!
Hello, friends! First and most importantly, welcome Leanne to the TTMT family!
Today finds me with a couple more scrappy blocks, contemplating what to do with a gorgeous thrifted duvet cover, and enjoying spring. Stay to the end for my first hummingbird visits of the season!
The blouse I’m wearing in this video was made using Simplicity S9452 & offcuts from an IKEA Strandlummer Duvet cover. You can see my show & tell about that shirt below.
Hello, friends! Today’s video is a short and sweet update on my half square triangle quilt plan, with HUGE thanks to Abbie for the assist! I also made a cover for my hub’s 3D printer set up. Be sure to stay to the end for some greedy Iliad pets!
A Western Screech Owl recently left us a little gift. In this video, I’ll piece back what’s left of the small plush elephant that I suspect was previously a Valentine (look for the scraps of pink heart) into something recognizeable using only what I had on hand. While I did use a tiny bit of machine sewing, this was mostly a repaired by hand sewing all the little rips and tears, as well as filling spots where fabric was missing.
This is not a tutorial, but I hope if you have a stuffed animal in need of repair, you might find it useful for inspiration. Questions? Please leave a comment!
This week finds me sharing some thrift finds, practicing nail art, and rescuing a much maligned plush elephant! There’s a WHOLE story there, lol. Stay until the end for a Western Screech Owl cameo.
Hello, my friends. It was hard to get in front of the camera today, but I really think I needed it. I felt so much better after chatting with you all.
This week I chat about my shirt repair and more HST blocks. Big shout out to Michelle for suggesting lace, which pointed me in the direction I was looking for.
A couple of people asked for a better view of my HST quilt plan, so here it is! I am only using half square triangles for each block and I do have a few blanks let that will eventually need blocks added, but this is such a casual project, I’m in no rush. I’ve made 11 so far, left to right starting with the top row.
Hello, friends! This week I chat about my tentative plan for my growing collection of scrappy half-square triangles, dying a pair of sweatpants for my husband, BRIEFLY about my first venture into gel extensions, and about what I will be getting up to this week. Stay until the end for a thirsty blue jay. ♥
