Seam Binding Swap! (locals)

This post is for my local crafty ladies!

Regan and I picked up some amazing seam binding in the states. It is not crinkly and already dyed by the manufacturer. The colors are amazing, I used the light blue on my card on my blog today!

We want more!

So I found a supplier …

We were thinking 7 colors – Chocolate Brown, Cream, Grey, Moss Green, Teal, Melon, Nice Pink (haven’t picked the pink yet).

Here is a link to a set on etsy so you can see what we are talking about!

If we get 20 signed up… You would get 5 yards of each color (total 35 yards) for apx $5.

Let me know if you want in!

I am going to pop this on my Facebook and emailing it out so let me know asap!

Scrapfest Haul!

Ok so while I didn't take a lot of pics at Scrapfest... I did see lots of awesome friends! You all know who you are and it was awesome seeing you! Now that I an home and chillin on Sunday, I decided too have a look at what I bought in the madness! Now I love Scrapfest cause it brings all the stores to me so I can go on a hunt for the things I want but don't see everywhere! Yes that is the Teresa Collins stamp maker you see there... exciting! I see some naughty sentiments in my future! Some corregated and some bamboo paper. Kaiser mini cards. Paper from Pink Paisley, Cosmo, American Crafts and Girls Paperie. Some funky Thickers and White on Kraft Alpha stickers by Jillibean... brilliant! Masks for mists and paints. New funky Bella Stamps and a MFT little girl... can't believe I don't have one of those yet! Kewl flower trim and some Kaiser paint that I have been looking for! Those Melissa Frances mini white frames.... GORGEOUS! I bought them all! Maya Roads wood embellies, bottlecaps (more, see me project tomorrow with the others I had!) and some turquoise glitter ritz! Delish! Oh and yes, those Martha punches which I have been looking for forevah! I also picked up some papers by a new local designer and some feathers... more on those later! Success!

Her art journals are to die for and I picked up a messenger bag kit so look for that to be finished soon!

Sewing Saturday!

Ok so I might not be able to post a sewing project every Saturday but I should be able to for the next few weeks!

I joined a sewing bee (probably not a real one but definitely a fun one) and we are going to gather once a month! And I am picking up fabric like it is oging out of style! I am also working on my first quilt so that should lend itself to a few funny posts of me stumbling through it. I am not going to say who it is for incase it sucks and I can't give it!

I recently had my large machine repaired and tuned so I am excited to hear it hum!

Here is a few of us at our first meet...



Here I am working away!

Hope you like and I think I will do more!

Today I am...

Dying ribbon and having so much fun!

Abby is taking a quick nap so I got right to it! Yesterday I dyed three little pieces of seam binding and I loved it. I used a tutorial from Ashley Newell and even though I used the seam binding it worked perfectly.

I did little pink and red pieces...


So I called in my Regs for all her mists (I promised to do doubles for her) and today I did Pink, Red, White (kinda), Yellow, Green, Blue, Turquoise and Choco Brown!



These are drying now and I will have a follow up post with them finished and a few tips I learned along the way. ;)
