What I do in my "spare" time...

Every so often, I enjoy taking my cheap-o Kenmore sewing machine out of the closet, dusting it off, and taking it for a spin. I think it appreciates the attention... I think. Anyways, I started a sewing blog earlier this year and every so often I'll post the projects I've been working on. I have developed a love of sewing this past year and had a blast putting together this adorable Kinder Nap Mat for my son!

You can read more about this project on my other blog, SewWhatSteph.com.

My good friend, Amanda, has this fabulous blog that I love reading up on...


A true crafty lady, she has fun ideas that I just love - and I know you will too!
Be sure to check out her etsy Store (Mandy's Yellow Corner).

She also has 2 giveaways going on right now HERE and HERE!


And yet another site that I adore is Pink Penguin.



With complete tutorials on how to make adorable totes, purses, bags, and so much more, you've got to fall in love with this site! I tend to drool at the amazing photographs of her fabulous creations... one day I'll actually attempt one.
