  2. Love it! Now that is about my speed. I can sew, but just haven't been able to lately. Maybe one of these days! I have been making a few goodies though...

  6. You are so creative. I think I might even be able to make one of these. My sewing machine hasn't been working very well and I need to find some time to take it in......I'm going to need it for my Christmas sale coming up.

    Sorry I haven't stopped in in a while. I browsed through and it looks like you've been busy lately.

    Enjoy your weekend.

  8. What a great idea! I was thinking, how did she make that wonderful fuzzy trim in 5 minutes... I love my treasures, when I showed the pin keep to Duane even HE thought it was beautiful. (We're talking about a man who usually just nods when I show him stuff like that) Really, everything is just beautiful! Thank you! Theresa xoxo

  24. Hi Michelle, thanks for the quick and easy tutorial. I have tried this iron on paper. Do you cut around your design? It does leave a little shinier, smooth texture where the imprint is, right? Yours turned out lovely!
