Urban Craft Uprising

This morning I woke up feeling like a little kid the day before Christmas. I am really excited for Urban Craft Uprising!. It is going to be a great time so I hope those of you in the area can make it. I am really looking forward to doing a craft workshop with Susan Beal. We will be making accessories and hair clips using buttons! Susan's book, Button It Up will be for sale both days and she will be there signing it on Saturday. This will also be my first time promoting my book, Button And Stitch, that comes out this December. There are tons of other exciting things happening this weekend so I hope to see you all there!

Button and Stitch

I just noticed this image up here for my book coming out in Dec. called Button and Stitch. It's exciting to see! This might not be the final cover but it's worth pimping out.

Margie Oomen

There is an interview up with Margie Oomen on Lou Lou & Oscar. Margie Oomen contributed a project that will be in my new book, Button and Stitch out this fall. Her work is truly inspiring!

Ice Cream Pin

I wanted to try and take advantage of Button Month over on Craft Stylish in an effort to start promoting my book, Button and Stitch. To see the project please visit here

To get full step by step instructions you can see them all on my flickr.

Inspiration brought to you by

The Crafts Dept. @ Martha Stewart. Not that I have the time to do this but I would love to have a book where I keep different stitches, craftiness, etc. This book looks like pure eye candy!



Mirror Mirror has these cute little Easter tree decorations. I didn't know there was an Easter tree but these would be cute for a lot of different things. I spotted my picture on her site too which was funny.



March is Button Month over at Craft Stylish. I want to put up a project to start promoting my new book, Button and Stitch: Supercute Ways to Use Your Button Stash. It's not out until the end of the year but I want to start promotion soon. This cute headband is the latest addition to tons of button projects shared daily.



I just sent a bunch of leather scraps to my friend Betsy but I wish I had seen this project first...I could have sent her an owl along with the scraps.



I really wish I had known about the candy shop, Papabubble the last time I was in NYC. I have no plans to visit anytime soon so hopefully I will remember by the next time I go. Just read about on Kayte's site. I love this photo. This candy reminds me of Friends with You



There are some great tutorials on Oh Fransson on various quilting topics. She makes beautiful quilts too so lot's of eye candy over there.



Look at this BEAUTIFUL embroidered envelope I found on Feeling Stitchy. Embroidered by Kajin. I really can't get over it.
