Spend some time relaxing and sewing some running stitches with a lovely, chunky thread.

The only thing I don't like about Pinterest is that sometimes it's difficult to find the Artist's name to give them cred for the awesome handwork. Wish I had time to just sit and sew some running stitches. I used to travel and have hours and hours to do something like this but I always fell asleep waiting for the plane and sleeping on the plane.  Now it's great to just live vicariously through someone else's talent and enjoy the photos.

Hobby Lobby Coupon

This is one of my favorite coupons. When you use the link to their site be sure to "refresh" the page since they have a new coupon for each week. They still let you use it on magazines and books....so far. I used it to get my Octopus embellishment for "Turtle Walk", a new bag.

 

Here's the Turtles:

 

 

Here are some other embellishment I purchased:

Celebrating the New Year with Red

I had these fabrics in my stash for years. Felt the need to Celebrate the New Year by sewing my favorite fabrics and hanging them where I can see them every day.

Home Improvement Projects are not for sissies!
