An Announcement and Link Party Features: MMBCreations & The Crafty Scientist

I really enjoyed seeing the guest room transformation by MMBCreations. I know how hard it is to get all the crafting supplies organized. I loved the pictures of the spool table and floral arrangement. Great way to set a theme!

 


The Crafty Scientist, gave us a quick and easy way to decorate with her Ribbon Wreath. I think I will keep an eye out for clearance ribbon, now. ;)

And now for the announcement.

I love link parties, and try to get in on the ones I know about. However, 2-4 entries a link party does not make. So I will not be holding them any longer. Perhaps I will bring it back at a later date when I have more followers or participation on the blog.

Suzy's Artsy Craftsy Sitcom has an extensive list of link parties through out the week, so please take a look.

Also, my blogging will not be as frequent as it has been. It takes a large chunk of my time to do all this, and while it has been very fun, time is not something I have an excess of. I will always craft and I will still post, but not on a regular basis. Please "Follow" me to be kept in the know on the blog.

Thanks to all the followers and those that regularly read my blog. I Can't tell you how gratifying it has been so far and I hope to not lose too many of you.

Link Party Monday

You know the drill. Link to something that is your own work of awesomeness, new or old doesn't matter as long as it's yours. Link to the specific post not just your general blog. Then, grab that button on the left and let the whole world know you were seen on Backstitch Baby! :)

Link Party Favorites: The Crafty Scientist and Suzy's Artsy Craftsy Sitcom

I'm sorry this blog is getting out late today. There was a difficulty in getting online, but all's well now.

I really liked all the crafts from yesterday's link party, but I must say Suzy's Faux Inlay project rocked my socks. I love, love, love old wooden furniture and that was a great way to spruce up a side table!

The printable from Mel ,The Crafty Scientist was perfect for Valentine's Day. I thought this would make a cute tee shirt.

***Important: When printing something out on Iron-On Transfer Paper, remember to flip the image in editing software so that the words are not backwards when you iron it on. (Not that I've made that mistake or anything...)

Thank you everyone that participated!  Angi, at Creative Bliss, keeps things organized on her pretty Dry-Erase Menu Board. Jenna shared her easy cosmetic case with us at SewHappyGeek@Excell Crafts.

The link party is slowly but surely growing and I intend to keep it going so more and more people can join in the fun. Tomorrow, making a necklace using an unusual material.

Link Party Monday

Alas, Linky Tools has decided to start charging for all their services. What's more, if you don't pay for a subscription, your account with them gets deleted starting today. BUT, never fear! Thanks to Inlinkz from BlogHer, the Link Party continues!

The rules are the same:

• Post as many links as you want but it needs to be your own work.
• Doesn't have to be sewn  or a traditional craft (could be painting, sketch, upholstering, etc).
• Please link to the individual post and not just your general blog.

I'll post my favorite(s) tomorrow. Later this week, making a necklace and stained glass sewing.

Don't forget to grab the button on the left to let everyone know where your awesome work is being displayed!

This Week's Feature: SewHappyGeek @ Excell Crafts

   I was very happy with the link party yesterday. We doubled in the amount of links! OK, doubled to three...but let's focus on the positive and the Quality not quantity.

   I enjoyed seeing the Valentines Soaps from Suzy's Artsey Crafty Sitcom. What a cute idea! You all know that thrifting and scavenging salvaging is near and dear to my heart, so when I saw all the pretty things MMBCreations made from scraps and found pieces of wood items, it made me want to go out driving on garbage night (I currently have a gorgeous antique chair in my living room that was picked up on the side of the road).

   Today's feature, though, is Sewhappygeek@excellcrafts, and her quick and easy apron.

Seriously cute, I think I know just the fabric I have on hand for making my own!

And check out this quilt she made...

LOVE that color palette.


By the way she also makes hand bags...

...as well as bracelets and full aprons for her Etsy shop.  Check it out and give Jenna some luv.



Tomorrow's Post: Quilted Valentine Cards

Link Party Monday

Link it up! Please show off those great projects you have been working on. It doesn't necessarily have to be a sewing thing, but it does need to be your work and a link the the specific blog post (not just the general blog).Tomorrow I will be featuring my favorite(s)!

Begins 12:00AM Monday, Ends 11:59PM Monday

A Link Party!

I love a good link party! I get so many ideas and new blogs to follow that way. So I thought I would host one myself.

Here's the dealio: Post a project you have completed yourself, more than one is fine Then, check out what your fellow crafters/artisans have been up to. Simple as that.

Since Tea Rose Home has such great ideas, I think I will follow suit and post some of my favorites from the list on Wednesday (along with another clothing makeover).

Have fun!
