From today until January 9th I’ll have an exhibition at the Papernstitch gallery where I showcase handpicked items from my shop. I’ve added some brand new items and by Monday I’ll add some more quote scarfs to the selection, too!

Brittni from Papernstitch carefully selects all shops to display their items for a period of one month and it’s a real honor for me to be a part of it. It’s such a nice place to get to know other artists find beautiful handmade items… aaah it’s just awesome. Click on the button to get to my selection.

I’m greatful for this opportunity and hope you like the exhibition.

Today I’m guest blogging again over at Brigitte’s fabulous blog Covet Chicago. The series Hearth to Hearth is truly special. Different people in different places of the world talk about the city they live in and their homes. Have a look and anjoy.

YAY. Today is my turn to present you my outcome of my Alphabet Walk. Just in case you don’t know what it is… Piper from One Sydney Road invented this little game: Take pictures of things that represent the letters of the alphabet. I did something similar once already some weeks ago though itwas a Number Walk… maybe you remember.  Now in this fun blog hop I picked the letter L .

There are many other bloggers participating in this hop. Check out Piper’s list of the full schedule here.

Today I’m happy to be a part of one of my favorite blogs COVET. Brigitte is on vacation and I’ll show you 5 things you can do with scrap fabric – Part 1 so her blog wouldn’t be so empty while she’s gone. Hope you enjoy it.

Update: The second part is online, too!

This week I ran out of crafty projects. I have weeks where I do one project after the other, this week isn’t one of those. :-) It’s very hot outside and I’m glad when I come home and don’t have to do anything. Though I’m still browsing my favorite sites and blogs everyday and came across some very great tutorials that I want to share today.

My latest favorite discovery when it comes to crafty blogs is Noodleheads. Anna is one talented mom that sews the prettiest things for her kids and is so generous to share them. The other day she posted this super cute car pillow tutorial which isn’t that hard to make. Her instructions are very easy to follow and this little pillow makes a wonderful baby-shower gift.

Another tutorial I liked very much is by Martha Stewart. A tooth fairy pillow for little ones.  Perfect for my step-kiddo who’s loosing teeth every week at the moment :-)

I recently found Amy Bindel’s Early Bird Special Blog where she shows her beautiful embroidery projects. The cool thing about this blog is that Amy teaches her readers how to embroider with detailed step-by-step instructions and even a little video. How cool is that? See Lesson 4: The split stitch for example. I love to embroider but yet only know how to back stitch. She opened my horizons and I can’t wait to practice my skills as soon as the fall comes.

Anna Maria Horner posted this beautiful and ass simple to sew Museum Tunic Dress. Doesn’t it look fabulous? I must definitely try this as long as the weather allows me to wear it.

And here is one more tutorial for you. How to turn an old t-shirt into a halter-top. I’ve done this myself twice already and it’s really as simple as Threadbanger is claiming and it takes only 15 minutes. YAY.
