Graham Cracker Bites
Today I’m going to share with you a recipe that’s been in my family for years, Graham Cracker Bites. My Mom always used to make these yummy bites to take to friends and family at Christmas time. I loved that she made them but hated that she gave them away!
They are an addicting combination of Graham Cracker, Marshmallow and Coconut and I can NEVER eat just one, so I always give them away too!
DIY Necktie Zip Pouch
My husband was about to give away a bunch of stained and old neckties, sensing a creative project I snagged them before they were donated. I turned the old ties into these DIY Necktie Zip Pouches. A very very simple sewing project that would make a great Christmas DIY gifts for men or that ever elusive teenage boy!

Washi Tape Christmas Tags
A few weeks ago I had what I thought was a brilliant idea at 2 am whilst lying in bed. Use washi tape to embellish plain shipping tags for Christmas!! We are always running out of gift tags at Christmastime and thought this would be an easy cheap way to solve this problem.
I woke up the next morning and googled “wash Christmas tags” then realized I was a little (okay A LOT) late to the whole shipping tag/washi tape party *wink*…

On the Go Reading Pillow Tutorial
September is National Sewing Month and to help celebrate last week I shared this tutorial on the Fave Crafts blog. Today I’m sharing it here with you.
I love to sew, it is truly one of the great pleasures in my life. When I’m not sewing you can find me busily blogging away at The Polkadot Chair, or stalking Pinterest for new things to pin (I may be slightly obsessed!)
Tuesday Tutorial: Skinny Simple Table Runner
I’ve got a very long kitchen table and I was having a hard time finding a runner to fit it. I didn’t want to tackle another large project right now, so I thought I’d just make a super simple runner for it using some of my favorite fabrics (that also match my kitchen perfectly!)
Tutorial: Spring Flowers Easter Wreath
This project, Spring Flowers Easter Wreath… first appeared on Moda Bake Shop Blog.
Hi!!
Spring has finally sprung in my end of the world and I can not tell you how excited I am! It seems like it’s been a very loooong winter. I can’t wait until all of the beautiful flowers are in bloom.
