Yes, I am going from sewing for Sukkot to sewing for Christmas. That's how it rolls around here. I am making samples for a class I am hoping to teach in November on felt applique Christmas stockings. I have never celebrated Christmas and although I've certainly seen many stockings I really had no idea what…
the Sukkah
Sunday was the day after Yom Kippur and we spent the morning putting up the Sukkah. It took just under an hour to construct the whole thing. We are loving our new Sukkah with pipes and fittings that snap together (our old one was wooden and required a lot of very frustrating time with an…
the 20-minute tote
Yesterday morning I pulled out some awesome upholstery weight cotton I’d been hording for at least five years and made the 20-minute tote from The Purl Bee. Do you see why I’ve been saving it? That fabric is fantastic. No idea where I got it or who designed it. I found several yards of red…

How to Make a Hobby Horse
I have wanted to make a hobby horse for a long time. I searched around a bit for online tutorials and there didn't seem to be much available so when Kathreen asked me to create a guest post for Whip Up I thought this would be the perfect project. My kids are begging to play…
Using my X-ACTO knife to make a cutwork felt butterfly
Recently I got an email from the folks at X-ACTO asking if I would test out a knife and give a few away. I use a craft knife fairly often in my work and I know you all probably do, too. I thought we all might like a few fresh knives to work with so…
