It’s a new year, and I have new goals for myself as well as a few new projects in mind.

I’m coming to you reasonably well rested and happy with just a few things to share before the year ends.
Get the All Arizona & New Mexico Shop Hop Magazine 2026 from Hip Stitch. Way to go Jewells! ♥
Edited to add that TTMT’s Michelle has a bonus pattern on page 60. Thanks for sharing, Michelle!
There are lots of resources online showing how to use a Cricut cut or other stencil for screen printing. I used info from Pigskins & Pigtails.

Dear friends, I had a rough week with very little mojo, and I don’t have a single thing to show. I hope that whatever you’re doing, you can take a moment to slow down and breathe deep.

Time for something completely different! This week, I share a pair of jeans I dyed using a jeans kit by RIT (Back to Blue), talk briefly about screenprinting, and mention an old favorite, Tree Trimming.
Watch a 37-year-old baby talk about Tree Trimming. The a/c was out in our house, which used to happen A LOT! Email sewhooked at gmail for the free pattern through December 31, 2025.

Happy December, friends! I finished the stockings I’d mentioned previously. They are made entirely from my stash and came out even better than I imagined! I’ve also got one tiny ornament to share that will be heading out in the mail with a reindeer later this week.

This week, I’m excited to share that I finished our tree skirt! The final quilted and bound skirt is a hair over 51″, made using 4″ (4.5″ cut) squares. I LOVE how this project came out and am looking forward to working on some new stockings next!
Stay to the end for a sassy blue jay birdbath!

Hello, friends! In this week’s show & tell video, I talk about my in-progress tree skirt, some mending and alterations, and some happy mail from Abbie!
My snowflakes came from a variety of sources, including OESD & Oma’s Place. Oma’s Place has been purchased by Juju’s. I didn’t have luck finding my exact snowflakes, but there are plenty of options available from various machine embroidery resources. I used designs that were between 2.5″ and 3.5″ for my 4″ (finished) squares.
