DIY Bag Roundup...and a Giveaway!

I'm thinking of doing a 'sewing soiree' night in a few week with some friends. We would all get together and bring our sewing machine and work on a project together. I'm thinking that you could either bring a project you have going on or work on a simple but cute one that I will have available...maybe a cute bag? So here are a few options that I found for DIY bags through Pinterest:

Cute Tote Bag

Mini Clutch

Makeup Bag

So which one would you choose for an easy sewing project to do with friends?

I also have a giveaway for you guys! Who loves Amazon.Com?
How about a $25 gift card to Amazon.Com...

Crock Pot Brussel Sprouts

First of all, don't forget to enter this week's giveaway for a charm pack of Marmalade fabric

Last night we had the following recipe for dinner, along with brown sugar baked chicken....It was so good!

Crock-Pot Brussel Sprouts: (My own concoction) 

Ingredients:

1 pound brussels sprouts

3 tablespoons butter

1 tablespoon Dijon mustar

1/2 teaspoon kosher salt

1/2 teaspoon black pepper

1/3 cup water

1/2 Tablespoon of maple syrup

Directions:

Wash and trim your brussel sprouts. Cut them in half and place in your crock pot. Add butter, mustard, salt, pepper, syrup and water. Cover and cook on low for 4 to 5 hours.

Such an easy recipe and they were so good! They were just browned enough around the edges and the maple sugar added a nice sweetness. I think brussel sprouts are my new go to vegetable :)

My finished quilt and a Giveaway!

I finished the quilt. I added the back (a solid yellow), finished up the decorative stitching, and finished the edges with white bias tape.

I really enjoyed making this and absolutely love the material (Marmalade by Moda)

Now for the giveaway!

If you would like your own 'Charm Pack' (a set of 42 five inch squares from the Marmalade line) here's your chance!



Enter below and good luck!

Washi Tape: Inspiration and a Giveaway!

So recently I've become obsessed with slightly interested in Washi Tape. If you haven't heard about it yet you are in luck. Today's post is about all things Washi:

What is it?: Washi Tape is Japanese decorative tape. It is becoming more and more popular and it can be used on paper, glass, ceramic, and plastic...just to name a few. If you type in "Washi Tape Projects" into either Google or Pinterest you will find hundreds of creative ideas on how to use the tape.

Where do I find it?: If you want it in your hot little hands today, I've heard it is available at both Target and Michael's (although I didn't see any at Michael's when I was last there). There are also a number of places where you can purchase the tape online. If you don't need it today, I would suggest going online. The brick and mortar stores don't have a large supply and the options are limited.

One of my favorite online Washi Tape retailers is Cute Tape. They have a HUGE supply of Washi Tape as well as other decorative tape, stamps, twine and much more. And because they are so awesome they are doing a giveaway today for your very own Washi Tape Starter Kit! More on that later...

What can I do with it?: So now you're thinking, "This stuff looks cool but what can I do with it?" Well I'm so glad you asked! Below are a few projects that I've found. Click on the link below each picture to learn how to do these as well as to check out the other great projects on each of these blogs.  I hope they inspire you!



Washi Tape Notebooks



Washi Tape Twisty Ties



Washi Tape Lamp Shade



Washi Tape Wine Bottles




Washi Tape Keyboard

These are just a few of the MANY projects you can do with washi tape. Now that you have the info and the inspiration...you just need the tape right?!

You're in luck because we have a GIVEAWAY!!!

Cute Tape (cutetape.com) Is giving away the adorable Washi Tape Starter Kit that you see in the picture below! Think of all the projects you could do with eight rolls!
