These patterns are my newest obsession.

They're so simple, classic, and chic.

I'm not even going to tell you how many hours I've

wasted, I mean spent looking at these darlings.

The problem? I can't decide which to buy first.

I want them all. sigh.

Just a pinch Hot pad

I heart Etsy! I found it to be a really great resource
for patterns. I found this little cutie here. I was able
to make these two in 30 minutes so they're pretty
easy. In fact, it's a fantastic beginner project. With
Christmas right around the corner I was thinking
it would be a really great gift for grandmas, friends,
or self. Actually these match my kitchen....so I guess
I'll be keeping them around. Yea!

beach ball for Christmas

I love homemade toys!! I found this pattern whilst
surfing the net a few months ago. For some reason
when Christmas closes in I get all homespun and
have to make toys. These were fairly simple, and
there are 3 different sizes!

So, if you're like me and like those homemade
Christmases here's the pattern for a fabric
beach ball.

Enjoy!
