Fabric, Fabric, Everywhere

I love fabric. I love looking at it, I love touching it, and I love owning it.
I may not own these fabrics I am about to post about, but that doesn’t keep me from daydreaming. =)
I am especially drawn to Amy Butler fabrics. The way she designs, makes me drool.

Cliques, Hicks, and Ugly Sticks- Confessions of April Grace {Book Review}

April Grace Reilly is having everything within her world change so fast. Her friends from elementary school have turned into people she barely recognizes as they head for middle school.
Aprils mom seems to be acting different, and her family has also taken in Mr. and Mrs. St. James while their house is being fixed up.
This girl is a wear her heart on her sleeve kind of girl. She is learning there are life matters that she can change, and then there are those that she can’t. She’s learning to be patient and tolerate the things she can’t help in the world.
This is a book targeted to tween girls, a book written in an open and honest tone about the difficulties of getting older during this time.
I would recommend reading this along with your daughter, and sharing with her that everybody changes and grows up and that it isn’t a big deal for people to be forming cliques, but the gossip and troublemaking during these years get worse.

Crafty Me.. What I’ve Been Workin’ on.

It has been a long week for me. I have been writing reviews and giveaways and promoting them. I haven’t had much time to just post something non- review related.
Although I will be having some awesome reviews and giveaways this week..
Ok- back to the Craft subject.
I’ve been working on a lot of crochet stuff. I don’t get very much time to sew, because my kids are always all over the sewing machine.
I wanted to show you what I DID get done..
These are some crochet carry-all bags. You could keep make-up or whatever in them.

Here are some stencil fun with fabric paint. I received these stencils from Plaid this week and was trying them out. Pretty cool stuff =)



Here are some cell phone cases or they could be used for coupons.

Here are some crochet bookmarks I’ve been making:

Here is a scarf I made..

Here are some pictures of my craft space… You don’t even want to see inside my closets..

I’ll post some tutorials here soon, I have just been so swamped after not having a computer for so long..
Thanks for stopping by. Link up what you made.. or what you want to make. Or post it in the comments.
