I don't really know what to tell you this week.
I'm in the middle of everything right now. The stitch illustrations for the all the stitches used in the first pattern on my site are done, and I just scanned them all into my computer. Now I still have to edit them and update all the posts.
My hat/vase/art piece has just finished drying, so I'm ready for the next part.
I'm about half done with all the paper cord.
I still need to finish putting everything away in my studio.
Being creative is a lot of work!!!

IN THE STUDIO:
Almost Done: Sneak Peak at the Stitch Illustrations
Stitch Tutorials Updating!
This summer is going to be full of me updating stitch tutorials so all have video tutorials, written instructions, step by step photos and stitch illustrations (drawn by me), and chart symbols for those that have them. I want to be sure you all have everything you need to succeed.
As I've been drawing the stitch illustrations, I've noticed some would make great artwork. So, I'll be adding more designs to my merch store which will include some super-cool stitch illustration art throughout the summer. Be sure to check in regularly!

Here's a new-to-me mending stitch with a great tutorial. I've never seen scotch mending before, and I love it! It looks especially cool on a knee repair. |

These fun papers made with stencils and instant coffee would be such a fun summer craft idea with the kids. When they are dry, the kids can color or paint in the images! I bet you could use a second brew of your morning coffee grounds if you don't want to buy coffee just for this craft - it might just be a bit lighter. |

Talk about a cute addition to a journal. Take a look at these hidden accordion pages. You can leave them blank to be filled in later, or fill them up then make them, whatever makes you happy. |
