    School?s almost out for summer, folks! Are you ready? And are you looking to embark on creative adventures of the sewing variety with your little bundles? Since the day I found out miss Ruby was on her way, I?ve been excited to share my love of sewing with her. My mom taught me to sew, and I can?t wait to do the same. But 10 months is a bit too young to start teaching my little lady how to sew: she probably needs to master other important life skills ? you know, fine motor skills, crawling, feeding herself, etc. ? before we partake in creative togetherness. When the times comes, though, I?ll be ready with the help of these lovely sewing projects for kids.

    Stitch a lovely rainbow, easy peezy on burlap: Sewing Rainbows (from Childhood 101)

    Put on a show with a herd of bunny puppets: Bunny Finger Puppet (from Spoonful)

    Make a drawstring bag for trinkets and treasures: Drawstring Bag (from Make and Takes)

    Craft a flock of birdies: Bean Bag Birds (from Captain Crafty)

    Stitch a zoo-full of critter cards: Sewing Cards (from Dandee Designs)

    Sew some sweet heart bookmarks for Valentines and beyond: Valentine Bookmarks (from Holiday Crafts and Creations)

    Fashion a headband perfect for summer: How to Sew a Headband (from Skip to my Lou)

    Repurpose a tee-shirt into a bag: T-shirt Bag (from Make and Takes)

    Take your sewing on the road: Alligator Sewing Kit (from Spoonful)

    PinExt FaveCrafts Giveaway: Imagine Inks and Stamp Pads

    inks FaveCrafts Giveaway: Imagine Inks and Stamp Pads
    Adding color to your paper, fabric, and wood crafts doesn?t have to be limited to markers and colored pencils. There?s a much easier way to get beautiful colors, lush and professional blending, and it comes in a bottle no bigger than your thumb!

    The inks and stamp pads from Imagine Crafts are so easy and fun to use that it?s hard to imagine my life without them now! My cards and scrapbooks have blossomed with beautiful embellishments and colors, and I love how these strong and vibrant colors really make my projects come to life.

    The StazOn Opaque stamp pad is specially designed for use on plastic, metal, glass, ceramic, polymer clay, and glossy cardstock. This ink and pad set is great for adding opaque colors to your projects, and colors can be mixed and matched for a unique effect. All you need to do is about a teaspoon of liquid ink to the pad and you?re ready to go. Best of all, a teaspoon of ink should last you about 500 impressions?so a little goes a long way! Each pad also comes with a protective inner cover to prevent your pad from drying out and little labels so you can easily keep track of what color is on each pad.

    To give your work a more antique look, there?s Walnut Ink Spritzers. Available in packs of 2, these inks are in a spray bottle, perfect for using on all craft surfaces. For rich backgrounds, you can mix and match colors to create something truly unique! This is a great way to add that final touch to a project that just needs a little something more.

    Finally, for all your crafting needs, there?s the All-Purpose Ink work station. This kit comes with a ton of fun ink colors (12 to be exact), as well as a container of GlazOn (which prevents your colors from bleeding together), sponges, brushes, ink droppers, blending tools, and more! This is the ultimate kit for fans of stamping and crafting.

    If you?ve been itching to play around with color, ink, and paint in your paper and fabric crafts, you have to try the new inks and stamp sets from Imagine Crafts. With a variety of inks, easy to use tools, and colors that will make any project stand out, the inks and pads from Imagine Crafts are new staples to my crafting stash, and I can?t wait to learn more about how I can put these amazing products to use!

    Guest Designer of the Week2

    The amazingly talented Guest Designer for Flower Week is Tonya Dirk!

    Headshot web
    Short bio: I am a SAHM of four, ages 7-14. Married to my high school sweetheart for what will be 20 years this summer. We live in the great city of Portland, Oregon. We also spend a lot of time in central Oregon where we do quite a bit of hiking and boating. Prior to my current “job” I was a registered nurse for 13 years. My other two passions are watercolor painting and tennis.

    How did you get started scrapbooking? I was on a lunch break at work and someone had left a Creating Keepsakes magazine in the break room. I devoured from front to back and was immediately hooked. Finding the whole online world of scrapbooking is then what really sealed the deal for me!

    What is your favorite American Crafts product? My current fave is the Dear Lizzy Lucky Charm collection. I found it super easy to work with and I was immediately drawn to the colors.

    Whether you?re a lacemaker, or you?d like to learn, or you?re just a fan: heads up! LaceNews announces a world-class event to be held in Salt Lake City, Utah, USA, in August.

    PinExt FaveQuilts Giveaway: Flip Your Way to Fabulous Quilts

    What?s the most important part of your quilting presentation to you? For some, it?s the pattern itself, while others may be more focused on how finishing elements complete everything. As we all know, quilters have so much to be aware of when it comes to making a quality quilt, and the best way to get better at the elements are through learning experiences. When it comes to the corners of a quilt, few are quite as skilled at designing them as Donna Lynn Thomas, author of Flip Your Way to Fabulous Quilts: Take Folded Corners to New Heights. You?ll be amazed at how clean your next quilt pattern looks once you apply her methods to one of the 14 impressive patterns she includes! Make something as simple as a triangle to something as complex as a series of pinwheels, all with the finesse of a master quilter.

    flip your way to fabulous quilts 250 FaveQuilts Giveaway: Flip Your Way to Fabulous Quilts

    What left me so impressed with this book was not only the original designs by Thomas, but the way in which she organized them. After a brief introduction, readers are given a quality education on the way to properly fold fabric corners and use the technique to make more intricate patterns. The color illustrations along with the easy-to-follow instructions make this book a winner from the start.

    After readers are more comfortable applying the technique, they can choose from a series of patterns which are separated into three categories, ?Try Me Quilts?, ?Grow with Me Quilts?, and ?Master Me Quilts?. This helps guide readers who are unsure of their skill level to see what patterns are giving them the best challenge, as well as helping them learn the process. Each and every design in Flip Your Way to Fabulous Quilts is gorgeous, so there?s no reason quilters in any particular level will feel any less excited about their results.

    Ready to try a new approach to your quilting patterns? Then all you need to do is enter our latest giveaway on FaveQuilts for your chance to win your very own copy of Donna Lynn Thomas? Flip Your Way to Fabulous Quilts. You have until the 21st, so head on over to our site and enter today!

    Guest Designer of the Week2

    The amazingly talented Guest Designer for Flower Week is Tonya Dirk!

    Headshot web
    Short bio: I am a SAHM of four, ages 7-14. Married to my high school sweetheart for what will be 20 years this summer. We live in the great city of Portland, Oregon. We also spend a lot of time in central Oregon where we do quite a bit of hiking and boating. Prior to my current “job” I was a registered nurse for 13 years. My other two passions are watercolor painting and tennis.

    How did you get started scrapbooking? I was on a lunch break at work and someone had left a Creating Keepsakes magazine in the break room. I devoured from front to back and was immediately hooked. Finding the whole online world of scrapbooking is then what really sealed the deal for me!

    What is your favorite American Crafts product? My current fave is the Dear Lizzy Lucky Charm collection. I found it super easy to work with and I was immediately drawn to the colors.
