It's been a while since my last post. What can I say? My ETSY shop and life have been busy....but I've decided to get back to my blog and keep you all updated on what's going on.<br />
<br />
My shop has really taken off this past year. The transformation it has gone through has really been amazing. I started selling bags made of fabric and now I'm selling bags made of paper. Here are a few of my top sellers....<br />

It's always exciting when a curator chooses one of your items to be featured on their TREASURY. If you don't already know, a Treasury is like a shopping gallery. The curator usually chooses a specific theme and then chooses 16 items to be featured in their treasury. This week I have been featured in 2 treasuries. What fun! and now, there is a great little widget to share your treasury listings with your friends and family. Here's 3 treasuries I've been featured in recently. Feel free to click on them and see everyone's listing! ENJOY!<br />

I've always had a soft spot for old books. The older the better. I started collecting vintage and antique books back in highschool and I'm still collecting today. Now I collect them for myself, to sell in my ETSY shop and the old ones that are in really bad shape, I turn into paper flowers. Here are a few I found the other day.<br />

I love that they all have an outdoorsy theme, which fits my husband and I...I LOVE LOVE LOVE the color combination! I had intended on listing these in my shop, but I've fallen in love with them and am having a hard time letting them go. The books are big (over 10 inches tall) and thick and bright and beautiful...in great shape...Don't you just love my little ceramic bird next to the <i>Songbirds in Your Garden ??</i> Here are some more pics, in case you didn't get enough.<br />

From left to right the copyright dates are: 1899, 1940, 1927 I believe the Ernest Hemingway is a first edition second printing...but I'm not an expert so, I'm not sure.<br />

Copyright dates from left to right: Spelling book 1857, History book 1878, Dictionary of facts 1919<br />
<br />
Don't you just love the picture on the front of the spelling book? To give you an idea of how old the history book is...the last picture is a list of all the states added after the original 13...38 total! How cool is that?<br />
<br />
Another little piece of history I have is a 1913 <i>Small Arms Firing Manual</i>. It's full of notes and underlines and what I love most of all is the signature in the front. What beautiful handwriting. To me it represents a time when people took their time and pride in everything they did right down to their handwriting.<br />

I bought this one the other day. It's in descent shape, but what I bought it for was it's pages. For only being 69 years old, the pages have a beautiful rich patina. The pages are also nice and thick and textured. I just had to have it for paper flowers.<br />

Butter - Who knew how simple it was to make your own! I found a ton of tutorials and they are all great. My favorite one is from <a href="http://2littlehooligans.blogspot.com/2011/05/how-to-make-butter-in-canning-jar.html" target="_blank">2 little hooligans</a>. Her pictures are beautiful and the directions sweet and simple.<br />
<br />
But did I tell you that I MADE BUTTER TODAY? I don't know why I'm so excited about it. It's such a simple concept....but I was tickled pink and we all ate the first batch right away.<br />

<div style="text-align: center;">
Instructions:</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Pour cream into jar 1/3 to 1/2 full.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Shake the jar for 20 to 30 minutes.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
You'll see 4 stages:</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Cream</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Whipped Cream</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Whipped Butter</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Butter & Buttermilk</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Once your butter separates from you buttermilk,</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
drain the buttermilk out into a dish and</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
keep shaking it for a while longer to get all the buttermilk out.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Drain out your remaining buttermilk and save it for...buttermilk pancakes, maybe?</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Add your salt to taste (I added 2 pinches of sea-salt for my small batch)</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>

Taa Daa!!!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Butter</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
***WARNING***</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
You may have delusions of grandeur when you're finished...like you just invented fire or something. Not to worry. After proclaiming "I just made butter!" to your husband for the third time and he just stares at you like your crazy, the delusions will pass....but seriously, I MADE BUTTER TODAY!</div>

We are currently remodeling/sprucing up our girls room and I wanted to make them an inspirational sign...sorta like a DAILY AFFIRMATION for them. Seriously, it is so hard being a little girl these days and I want my girls to grow up knowing that being "PERFECT" isn't what really matters. So, you can make your sign with what ever is meaningful to you.<br />

Every once in a great while you find a deal that puts a permanent smile on your face all day long...You may be the only one who understands the joy it brings...but it's a great deal all the same.<br />
<br />
I found 2 the other day. A pink embroidered linen table cloth for $0.50 and 8 teal buttons for $1.50<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
The lady at the counter said..."what a pretty sweater!" and I said..."actually, I'm just getting it for the buttons. I plan on cutting them off." You should have seen the look on her face!<br />
<br />
<table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; text-align: center;"><tbody>

<tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">8 - 1 inch buttons for $1.50..what a steal!!</td></tr>
</tbody></table>
<br />
<br />
But seriously, have you seen the price of buttons lately? If you're looking to stock up on buttons, check out your local thrift store. Preferably when their clothing is on sale.<br />
<br />
The tablecloth will be used for our tea parties. <br />

My girlfriend and I were out thrifting and stopped at a little roadside fleamarket. That's where I found her. She not perfect and she's been used A LOT. I've always dreamed of having an antique sewing machine. Although the one in my dreams was shinny and new and in perfect condition. I brought her home and gently cleaned her up...she's missing her front drawer and needs a new belt. Other than that, she's in working order....</div>

I have a ton of projects I can do,...tons of material but nothing sounds good to me and the things I do make just aren't "doin' it" for me. I bought a ton of fabric during the after the holidays sales and then I bought some more that I didn't need, then I bought some more just because it was cute, but I don't have a project in mind for it....here's the new additions to my stash.<br />

I used my new Silhouette to cut out the flower and to cut out the heat transfer vinyl. I also used it today to make these new signs for my kids bathroom. I'm working on a Cat in the Hat theme...it's going slow...Someday I'll finish it and have wonderful pictures for you...until then you just get these:<br />

I was amazed at how well the Silhouette cut such tiny detail....I know...I guess I don't realy have Crafter's Block...it's just that the ideas I do have, I'm not excited about...maybe I'm just in a funk. If you come up with any ideas on what to do with my new fabric, I'd love to heard them. Thanks for listening to me whine.<br />

I think the most intimidating thing about pintucks is that they are all usually uniform. Whether on a pillow or shirt or wherever, you see them in nice, neat, even little rows....but they don't have to be neat or even or intimidating. Here's a fun little project for you to get started with pintucks.<br />
<br />
We're going to be creating a fun pillow cover that looks clean and neat and we are <i>not</i> going to measure our pintucks at all...HOW CRAZY IS THAT?...it's not crazy..it's fun and creative and full of whimsy. Keep in mind that I'm using a zippered back for my cover which you can find the tutorial for <a href="http://kristasewinspired.blogspot.com/2012/01/pillow-cover-with-hidden-zipper.html" target="_blank">here</a>.<br />

Cut fabric for the front of your pillow cover to size ( size of pillow + seam allowance + 3")<br />
My pillow is 14". So, I cut my fabric 17.5" square. (14" + .5" + 3")<br />
If
you're going to make a hundred pintucks and make them run every which
way..you may want to add more than 3" to your measurements..at least the
first time.</div>

Set your needle placement to the far right. Starting at the long corner, sew along fold..about 1/8" from edge. Just go with what looks nice to you. If you like a tiny pintuck, then go smaller than 1/8".<br />
If you are using thick tread and want a nice top stitch to show, be sure to increase your stitch length just a bit. </div>

I'm kinda picky when it comes to pillow covers and their openings. Envelope style openings are not my favorite. They're great for when you don't have a zipper or when you want to keep your cost down, but I don't' like how they can bulge out...they don't keep the pillow's shape very well. Buttons are OK and can add a pretty detail to the pillow, but they just don't work in my house with all the hoodlums laying around. I prefer a stuffed pillow where I can throw the whole thing in the wash or a zippered cover. I used to sew my zippers on the side seam. Recently, I came up with a new way to add my zippers. I think it looks much nicer AND I've created a tutorial just for you!<br />

Sew other side of zipper to the 12" x 15" piece of fabric, right sides together. To give you a perspective..the pin indicated by the left arrow is holding the "flap" down. Be sure to line up your fabric edge with your zipper edge (as indicated by the other arrow) and be sure that the edges your 6.5" piece of fabric lines up with the edges your 12" piece of fabric. When you are finished, you should have a rectangle with a zipper in the middle.</div>

Trim excess fabric off the end of the 12" piece so that your pillow cover backing is 15" square....you may ask..."why do I need to trim my fabric? why didn't we cut it right the first time"?..I like to err on the side of caution... it allows me some wiggle room when fiddling with the zipper flap. </div>

Pin cover backing to cover front. Sew using a 1/2" sew allowance. Finish edges and trim corners. Be sure to leave the zipper OPEN before you sew your cover shut as indicated in the picture above. The zipper allows you to turn your cover right side out after you sew all four sides shut.<br />

But, not just any pillow. It was my youngest daughter's FAVORITE couch pillow. You can imagine the devistation when she awoke to find it sitting on my sewing table with it's stuffing spilling out.<br />

Never fear! Mommy's here!....even though she had other things to do this morning. Lucky for her I had the SAME fabric I made the first cover out of almost 5 years ago. This time I'll make it better with ruffles! Here's what I did.<br />
<br />
First I cut out peices of fabric measuring 17.5" square. Then I cut 4 strips of fabric 2.5" the width of the fabric....All under the strict supervision of my 2 yr old.<br />
<br />

I don't have pics of the next few steps...here they are:<br />
<br />
<ul>
<li>Sew strips short ends together.</li>
<li>Fold long strip in half wrong sides together</li>
<li>Create one long ruffle using preferred method. I have ruffle tutorials <a href="http://kristasewinspired.blogspot.com/2011/10/how-to-make-rufflesthe-easy-way.html" target="_blank">here</a> and <a href="http://kristasewinspired.blogspot.com/2011/10/how-to-make-rufflesthe-hard-way.html" target="_blank">here</a>.</li>
<li>Finish one end with a rolled hem.</li>
<li>Sew ruffle onto one square right side</li>
<li>Cut excess ruffle off and finish end with rolled hem...being sure to overlap ends. as shown in picture below.</li>
<li>Pin the other square on top, sandwiching the ruffle inside.</li>
<li>Sew both squares right sides together leaving an opening big enough to turn right side out and big enough to stuff pillow form inside.</li>
<li>Remember that the dog ripped the pillow form and quickly repair the hole. </li>
<li>Close opening with a hand stitch.</li>
</ul>

One is called Phoebe Bag and It's a free download available by <a href="http://artsycraftybabe.typepad.com/artsycrafty_babe/2009/06/the-people-have-spoken.html" target="_blank">artsy crafty babe</a>. The other is the flower applique design which I created myself! I hope you like them and I can't wait to see what you do with your own flowers applique pattern.<br />
<br />
I made my purse over a year ago and took the pics today...so you can see a little wear on the edges of the applique since I left them raw instead of sewing up ALL THOSE EDGES. I think it wore well. I would LOVE to have a Silhouette to cut out the shapes. So my edges can be perfect! <br />

I found the pattern for the purse <a href="http://artsycraftybabe.typepad.com/tutorials/phoebe_bag.pdf" target="_blank">here</a>.<br />
<br />
And here is my applique flower pattern. You'll have to forgive me. My printer won't scan for me today, so I had to take a picture of my picture. I made this over a year ago. It's a little wrinkled...a little imperfect...kinda like me! Rather than spend a million years making my inside curves perfect, I just cleaned them up when I cut the fabric. I also used a raw edge applque method, so I wanted it to look a little less than perfect anyway.<br />

Just click on the picture to print. This should print out in a full sized 8.5" X 11" paper. or adjust the size to your liking.<br />
<br />
To use the applique you can either print this out on your choice of applique medium... I use Heat N Bond... or you can trace it out over a window or lightbox. Here are the steps:<br />
<br />
<ol>
<li>Print out the image on heat n bond (or print and trace onto heat n bond)</li>

They will be in the mail first thing Monday morning...Yay! I always have visions of grandure...planning all these handcrafted gifts for everyone in my family....and I have a large family. It never seems to work out that way, but I manage to make enough, at least, for the little ones.<br />
<br />
I finished up this Scrabble board last week. I made one with large (inexpensive) magnets and one with teeny tiny expensive magnets. I definitely prefer the smaller magnets, however, it cost $10 for 100 magnets and in addition to the sheet metal, scrabble tiles and frame, it turned out to be a pricey gift. Either way I love them both and I believe their recipients will love them too. The intention is to hang this on the wall and play a continual "words with friends". I'll be making one for our family after the first of the year.<br />

The other gift I have to share are some drawstring bags with an appliqued letter. These are for my nieces and nephew. They turned out really nice. Simple enough, but something I'm sure they will get a lot of use out of.<br />

The outer fabric is a pinstriped denim and the lining is a quilters cotton. I just kinda threw them together. Cut the sizes that looked right. I believe the casing for the drawstring was 2" and the drawstring itself was 1.5" (folded 4 times with raw edges inside). I can create a tutorial if you're all interested...but after the holiday season. Like always, feel free to ask if you have any questions. I'd be happy to share.<br />

I must be honest,...at first I wasn't sure about the colors. But, when I got the paper home and started working on them, I fell in love! Now, I can't wait for my 20 yr. anniversary....so my colors can reflect the fire and passion my marriage still has after all those years...how sweet! Here are the flowers I made for her:<br />

Until then, I'll share my pillows with you. My <a href="http://www.etsy.com/shop/KristaSewInspired?ref=si_shop" target="_blank">ETSY</a> shop is running low and I needed to stock up. So, I made a few of my ever popular Break Free Linen Pillows. <br />

The pillows are appliqued on and sewn for added stability...the "break free" is done freehand. I also made this little number....She matches my chair I reupholstered earlier this year...and my curtains..I love this fabric. It's such a beautiful linen I've made myself a small change purse and a large slouchy tote....Can't get enough so I thought I'd share some with you....<br />

I want to make some more items for my shop. It's so tough, this time of year, balancing projects for my shop and projects for Christmas.<br />
<br />
I'm currently working on this Magnetic Scrabble board I found on Pintrest at <a href="http://twiceremembered.blogspot.com/2010/01/make-your-own-magnet-board-make-your.html" target="_blank">The Twice Remembered Cottage</a> What an AWESOME idea.

Ok...Sorry for the lack of pictures. It's really quite simple. First you need to pick out your fabric and decide what size you want your scarf to be. This on is 79" x 6". You may want to take your lace in to consideration when deciding on the width. I chose 6 inches because my lace fit best this way. For the length you may want it longer for someone who it tall or shorter for a young girl. Here are the easy-peasy steps. Don't forget, I'm here if you have any question.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<ul>
<li>Cut fabric to length PLUS 1/4" seam allowance. Make sure both pieces are exactly the same size.</li>
<li>Fold and press 1/4" hem on short ends on both pieces of fabric</li>
<li>Sew your lace to the right side of the fabric at the hemmed ends</li>
<li>Place right sides together and pin in place</li>
<li>Sew down each long edge with a 1/4" seam allowance</li>
<li>Turn right-side-out and press </li>
<li>Sew ends of tube together (where the lace should be)</li>
</ul>
You done! You can rinse in cold water, twist it up and let it dry over night if you want it all wrinkled like the one below.<br />
<br />

I wanted to make a table runner for the buffet I had in my living room. I had some home decor weight fabric that would go perfectly, but I only had a piece that was about 42 - 43" wide. My buffet is 52" long. I really wanted the runner to go the whole length of my buffet but, the fabric is about $35/yard so, I figured I'd try to make it work.<br />

Press in place (except for the corners) and secure with binding clips or stick pins.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Don't worry that the corners aren't perfect. We'll press them again later. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Hand stitch binding in place with matching thread using a ladder stitch.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Be sure to catch ONLY the under side of the fabric with your needle. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
It should not go all the way through the other side. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Be careful to place stitches so as not to let thread show on the outside.</div>

I LOVE the fabric and the way it looks with the black buffet. It ended up being too small for what I had in mind. I think I knew this all along, but I had to give it a shot. </div>

It's now available in my <a href="http://www.etsy.com/listing/86394166/french-script-reversible-tabel-runner-13" target="_blank">ETSY</a><span id="goog_1541450899"></span><span id="goog_1541450900"></span> shop. The reverse side and binding fabric are linen and the french script is a heavy weight decor blended fabric. I've listed it for cost. I'll be making a new runner...after the holidays.</div>

</div>
I've been busy working on some Christmas gifts and, because my family loves me and reads my blog often, I can't publish any post about them until after the holidays. I can share some other things I've been working on though.<br />
<br />
One is an apron I've made for a family member for Christmas. I can only blog about it because she is probably more occupied with her boyfriend and college than the is her sister's blog. She just got a new job in a deli. Her clothes get wet while washing dishes and needs an apron that will keep her dry.<br />
<br />
The apron I made for her didn't quite turn out the way I imagined but, hopefully, it will do. I made a detachable milkmaid-type apron in the front. I used what fabric I had on hand. I had purchased some iron on vinyl a while back and used that as well (for the first time!). Let me be the first to tell you that it is not east to work with and it's only 20 or 22" wide so you're limited to what you can do...but the end product is similar to oilcloth...sorta. Anyway, here are some pics of the apron.<br />

It's been a while and sad to say I was disappointed. I didn't find anything that swept me off my feet, but I did find a few treasures.<br />
<br />
First was this shelf. My girls have a billion handmade blankets that I just can't part with, but I don't have a good place to store them so that they're out of the way, but within reach. Their room is the FROG. So, they also have two ugly attic storage access doors in their room. Eventually we're putting up bead board and my wonderful husband is going to make pretty little doors. In the meantime, I need a solution. I've been thinking of hanging the blankets there and this shelf is the perfect solution. All I need is some dowel rods a little bit of white paint and we're done!<br />

The second item I found yesterday was this old lamp. I'm not sure how old it is. It looks like it once used to be an oil lamp and was converted into an electric lamp...not sure. Maybe it was just made to look like an oil lamp. The shade is Milk Glass (which I love). I don't think the wood in the middle is original. I still like it a lot. It reminds me of my grandmother. Although her glass lamps were much nicer, it's the same style she had. It will go perfect in my master bedroom....once I have THAT project finished....eventually. Here's her before pics:<br />

I was INSPIRED by <a href="http://thesassypepper.blogspot.com/2010/03/tutorial-mod-podge-canvas.html">The Sassy Pepper</a>. Two Women, Sassy and Pepper, created some beautiful art using a blank canvas, some photos, paint and Mod Podge. They have a wonderful Tutorial and a few other projects using the same method.<br />
<br />
Here's my version. Seeing how we're more of a silly kinda family, we did our own little Silly Photo Shoot Saturday morning. The kids wore whatever they had on that morning, bed-head and all. Here are a few from the photo shoot.<br />

I'm not going to re-invent the wheel here. <a href="http://thesassypepper.blogspot.com/">The Sassy Pepper</a> did a great job with their tutorial. Here are the basic steps:<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<ol>
<li>Paint a border on your canvas </li>
<li>Apply Mod Podge to the back of your photo</li>
<li>Place your photo on your canvas</li>
<li>Flip your canvas over, apply pressure while drying</li>
<li>Re-Paint your canvas border to blend your photo into the canvas and allow to dry</li>
<li>Apply Mod Podge to your photo & canvas. and allow to dry </li>
</ol>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
<br />
A few things I did different:<br />
<br />
<ol>
<li>I created a large border around my photo rather than bringing it all the way to the edge of the canvas</li>
<li>I dabbed my final coat of Mod Podge with a dry paper towel to create a textured effect. As you can see in the pic below.</li>
</ol>
<table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; text-align: center;"><tbody>

</tbody></table>
<div style="text-align: left;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
LESSONS LEARNED:</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<ul>
<li>When applying the Mod Podge to the back of the photo you have to apply enough of it FAST enough that it won't dry by the time you go to put it on the canvas, but if you put on too much or your paper is too thin, it will warp your photo.</li>
<li>Be very careful with your placement. It dries fast.</li>
<li>When you flip your canvas over to apply pressure to the photo. You will want to place a book inside and then some weight on top of that so you don't get any bubbles. Don't forget to put pressure on the WOOD FRAME, as well as the inside, or you will have bubbles along your pictures edge.</li>
<li>When dabbing with a paper towel to create your texture, be very careful. If you apply too much pressure or rub in one direction or the other, you can smear the ink off your photo.</li>
</ul>
</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Hope this helps! Here are my final photos. We absolutely LOVE them to pieces. I placed them on a small wall between our coat closet and our garage door. It makes me smile every time I walk by them! Total project cost was less than $15. The canvas was $6 for 2 at Walmart. I already had the paint, Mod Podge, and photo paper so I figured I used about $3 worth of other supplies I already had. Have fun with yours. I hope you've been INSPIRED just as I was.</div>
