Or better known as: "My Husband Lost His Job Over The Easter Holiday Weekend And We Would Really Like To Be Able To Pay Our Bills (and not eat Ramen Noodles everyday) This Month - SALE !" *sigh* Sad, but true.  It's happened to too many people lately and it's horrible each time, and now it has hit us as well. But.... there's GOOD NEWS FOR YOU, my friends! I'm having a F R E E S H I P P I N G S A L E in my personal Etsy shop ! And none of the prices were raised to fool you, either.  It's a genuine , honest-to-goodness free shipping SALE . Some prices have even been reduced! (free shipping is on all U.S. orders, but there is reduced International shipping as well!) (SugarPlum mini hoop art) Have you been wondering what to give your mom for Mother's Day ?   Check out my shop!   You may just find an embroidery piece that would be perfect.   (Olive You felt+floss hoop art)   And, if you purchase this week, there's time to ship it to you bef

I've been noticing a trend with myself lately... whenever I see flowers,  or branches , or berries , or grasses in white pitchers I swoon.  There's something so classic, alive, so country-fresh about them that I can't help but love. I've been stockpiling pictures (thanks Pinterest!)  that I've come across lately, so I thought I'd share a few of my favorites:   Little Big Nest  madiganmade  my home ideas  (photo credit unknown) Sherri's Jubilee ...and the one that probably started my obsession:  Centsational Girl Aren't those all fabulous?!  I have always loved white pitchers and creamers , and I already have a small collection of them. ...but, unfortunately, I also have severe allergies to pollen, so I must settle for fake stuff in mine. Okay, so maybe that last one isn't a pitcher.....or a creamer. Yes, folks...it's a gravy boat . So I guess I {heart} gravy boats with flowers in them, too. -Tammy

Last week we got to share this tutorial and free printable with the lovely readers at Mine For The Making (thanks Kara!) and now we would like to share it with you ! This free printable was created for you using part of a song called "Give, Said The Little Stream" which we learned when we were children in our church Primary class. It's a reminder to us all that no matter how small we may think we are as individuals, we can still make a big impact and have a positive influence on everything and everyone around us. "I'm small, I know, but wherever I go... the grass grows greener still." You may have learned it as the "fields grow greener" instead of grass, but this is how we learned it and how it will always be in our minds. Here is how we decided to turn this fabulous quote into a piece of framed art! You can print your quote as large or as small as you would like. Ours is printed on a regular-sized piece of cardstock and will fit perfect

I decided to use my original sewn paper candy pouch tutorial to make something just as cute (if not cuter) for Easter ! This really is such a simple way to make a BIG statement . Who wouldn't love to tear right into this { c h o c o l a t e } bunny to get to the treats hidden inside ? I used brown craft paper here and inked it up with distressing ink to make it look more c h o c o l a t e y .  The googly eyes definitely add an element of cuteness , don't you think? I just drew this bunny free-hand, but I'm sure you could find any shape you want to use to copy or trace for your candy pouch. An egg-shaped pouch would be cute, too! This little guy is about 9 inches tall and is filled with jelly beans . Perhaps the E a s t e r B u n n y  reads this blog and will decide to leave a few sewn candy pouches in YOUR Easter baskets this year! * * * * * You can find my original tutorial on how to make the candy pouches here : -Annie   *click HERE to see the awesome linky

What do you think of when you see pinwheels? I think of Spring and Summer . Warm , windy days. Backyard BBQ 's.... Lounging and laughing . Basically.... FUN ! I wanted to share with you this simple tutorial on how to make your own P I N W H E E L G A R L A N D ! It would be such a cute addition to your outdoor garden party, baby shower, bridal shower, even as wedding decorations in matching wedding colors... perfect! Here's what you need to get started: The next steps are pretty much explained in the following photos: I punched small holes in 2 of the corner points on each pinwheel and strung them onto a length of jute rope: That's all there is to it! My home decorations don't exactly mesh with Springy colors, but I'm loving the pinwheel garland just the same. I hope you enjoy making your own P I N W H E E L G A R L A N D ! Feel free to link up a photo in the comments if you make one. I definitely want to see it! -Annie Click HERE to see all of the lovely linky
