Who doesn't like something beautiful to lay their head on?? Well Sandy is no exception and she has been eyeing the Valori Wells Novella collection of late and what a great way to use this gorgeous fabric? A very special pillow case was a great choice, don't you think? She added a couple of her own touches with french seams and a rolled hem on the inside of the bag.

I also thought it is a great way to re-introduce you to our project log as well.








We recently updated the project log to feature our sewing projects and it's a fun place you can see what we have been working on around the shop! Rachel just finished her Birdie Sling by Amy Butler and she chose some stash fabric for her project and boy do we think it turned out great! I know I want to go for a little dip in Rachel's fabric stash...Rachel what do you think? Hee hee!









You can also follow our fiber related projects on the log and here is Jenn's lovely Belle Cable Hat! She used the Rowan Lima yarn which is so yummy to touch! Of course around here we hardly ever actually say hello...it's more ooohhhh what's that you made...let me touch please!!

You can find all the details for any of our projects on the log and we love to feature our customers as well, so if you have something you would like us to feature please let us know and we will let you how to make that happen!

I hope that our project log will inspire you to come join us in our adventures and remember, it's only a project, the world won't stop spinning if it isn't perfect!! The bottom line is that you try and learn something new in the trying!!

As always, happy knitting, crocheting and sewing!

It's National Craft Month and we've been busy beans around here as of late! As a result, there are tons of new projects on our project log so I thought today would be a good opportunity to share some of them with you. Especially because in addition to knitting and crochet projects, we now have the ability to feature sewing projects. Our fabulous web development team just added the feature for us, and we are thrilled! Here are some of our most recent projects:

Monika's Koigu Bandana




Rachel's Birdie Sling Bag




Jenny's Romance Shawlette in Madelinetosh Merino Light.




Jeanne's Night Bird Mitts in Rowan Fine Tweed.




Emily's Melofores Tam in Malabrigo Worsted Merino.




Penelope's Pinafore in the Apple Jack fabric. So cute!






Gus's Mina Bag in Phillip Jacobs fabric.
