Thank you SO SO MUCH to @lindshandmade for creatin

Thank you SO SO MUCH to @lindshandmade for creating this amazing pattern, and for allowing me to film a tutorial using it. This is such an incredibly unique bag that you never knew you needed.
•
I’ve seen people use this for water bottles, wine bottles 🤪, toy arrows for the bow and arrow set, and massive amounts of candy canes (that may have been me).
•
I hope you love making this as much as I do! Get ready for lots of requests from friends and family for one 😍.

Show of hands if you celebrate Thanksgiving more t

Show of hands if you celebrate Thanksgiving more than once 🙋‍♀️. My Mom cooks Thanksgiving dinner on Thursday and then Mr OklaRoots cooks a second dinner on Friday. We really REALLY like the holiday food 😂.
•
The first item to run out is ::cough cough:: MY pumpkin cheesecake. It’s sooooooo good! I found it on PBS a few years ago and it’s become one of our favorite traditions.
•
Check my stories today for a link to the recipe, or just google: PBS Pumpkin Cheesecake Swirl.
•
A few of you let me know you tried it this year as well and loved it! That makes me so happy! It feels like we’re all eating together 🥰.
•
Happy Holidays friends!

Happy Thanksgiving!! I hope you’re having a warm

Happy Thanksgiving!! I hope you’re having a warm and happy day full of gratitude and love. I’m taking time today to truly appreciate the support of this amazing community and the health of our loved ones. Today may feel different for many of us, but gratitude is a powerful tool.

As a turkey day gift I’ve put out a fun embroidery tutorial going over 3 adorable ornaments from @ohanaappliquedesigns ! We are making this crafty and family friendly with the help of some @artezaofficial products. So if you need a holiday activity, pull out that embroidery machine, lay out some felt and have fun!

Do you have a project that you’re determined to

Do you have a project that you’re determined to master, no matter how many times you fail?

Currently for me, it’s this dang stretchy embroidered coffee sleeve. I’ve received so many amazing suggestions on ways to make this work, and all my problems are coming down to “user error” (a favorite term amongst us programmers... when it applies to someone else 🤣).
•
I will keep chipping away at this, and once I have it down I’ll probably put up my 10th coffee sleeve tutorial. Because if I’m going to do this much work, you mine as well learn from it as well 😉.
•
I hope you’re having a great Wednesday! It’s time for me to turn the sewing machine off and get to baking!

Fun fact: a pretty mirror doesn’t make you background look any better 😂.

Here is the ADORABLE Mini Backpack from @kandoucrafts (ignore the mess in the background, things get crazy sometimes). I love this small bag! It’s small enough to work as a comfortable purse but not so small that you look like you’re wearing a toddlers backpack.
•
I’ve received lots of messages from you letting me know you’re getting started on this! I CANNOT WAIT to see all the pretty new versions! I’m keeping this pattern on my table with the goal of making at least 2 more... for me... since the 2 I already made were immediately claimed 😒.
•
Have a great week everyone!

I cannot tell you how much I adore this pattern. I like it exactly as is, but it’s also a great pattern to adapt to suit your needs. I really hope you all love this as much as I do.
•
And if I unexpectedly go quite for a few months, it’s because I’m making a hundred of these 🤣

I’m getting so many requests for holiday gift id

I’m getting so many requests for holiday gift ideas, and to be honest, almost any of these hand made items would be a great gift! I love the idea of using the things we make in conjunction with other gifts.
•
A wallet with a financial gift, a pouch with some cookies, or even a coin purse with a locket inside. Handmade gifts are the best!
•
What are you gifting this year? Making anything?
