Secret Holiday

A Thanksgiving Offering

Hello everyone! Sorry I have been kind of absent for a while! I've been super busy working a million different jobs in the past couple of weeks, while cranking out holiday orders, and wedding birds, and so on and so on. I'm sorry I'm not here to write a real post today either, but instead to direct you over to the Reprodepot Blog to the newest tutorial I posted tonight. It's for a wine tote! I'm heading out a friend-filled Pre-Thanksgiving dinner tonight, and I'm excited to get to use my new tote to transport a fancy bottle of sparkling cider! 

I'm not sure if I'll have a chance to write again before Thanksgiving Day - I'm decorating a local shop window with my friend Anna on Wednesday, before immediately heading out to my new job: bagging groceries at Wholefoods. On the eve of Thanksgiving. Yes - it will be my first day, and it will be a whole lot of fun!! Really it's going to be crazy busy, but at least it should make the eight hour shift go by fast. Then we have some good friends we don't see enough of visiting. Oh so busy! I can't wait until Thursday when my only job is to hang out with a cute little baby and friends and stuff my face with delicious food.  

Happy Thanksgiving!

Make a new throw pillow to match the changing season!

I'm feeling sick today: worn out, sore throat, stuffy/snotty nose, feverish face, nauseous belly. Ick. But I did manage to post this new tutorial on the Reprodepot Blog explaining how easy it is to make throw pillows! Go see for yourself and get to sewing!

Give thanks with these handmade placemats!

Hi everyone! Just wanted to pop in to let you know I just completed a new tutorial over on the Reprodepot blog. I made some placemats for Thanksgiving! I really love them! It's nice to get to put together a tutorial, and walk away with something awesome that I can use over and over again! Check it out here.

Last minute Halloween ideas!

Djerba and I spent far too much time putting this tutorial together, but we created some Halloween goodie bags and paper lanterns that you can make up yourself, using my construction directions and Djerba's awesome downloadable patterns. Check it out on the Reprodepot Blog!

I also just stumbled upon this cool idea for reusing security envelopes to create sandwich or cupcake toppers! You'll never just toss out those envelopes again! Created by Mer Mag - check out her blog, she's got lots of get ideas! Found via Re-Nest.

Have fun creating these last minute party details! And have a Happy Halloween!
