It's that time of year - the hustle and bustle of the holiday season is in full swing and we are loving every minute of it.

DIY Felt Candy Cane Ornaments 
Hello Sewing friends! Today we are making candy canes.  Red and white striped candy canes always make me think about Christmas. We always hang candy canes on the Christmas tree, sometimes they are real and sometimes not. For the past several years we have had these lovely felt candy cane ornaments on the tree. My mom made them and I think they are just so cute. Do you know whose Christmas Tree they would look great on? YOURS! 

How to Make Big Felt Bats for Outdoor Halloween Decor



Outdoor Halloween decor - felt bats

 Hello crafting friends! Tomorrow is October 1st and I'm getting ready to decorate for Halloween this weekend. I love Halloween!  Usually I spend more time decorating the inside of my house than the outside but greeting those trick or treaters with a little fun is important too.

Such an easy way to decorate! Want to make some too?
