It may be a little early in the year still to be thinking about summer and the 4th of July, but why not! If you’re looking forward to warmer days and summer fun, try this patriotic sewing project. It’s an easy little wall hanging that we designed, and we’ve provided the pattern for free! Just click the link below to go to the full page. Hope you enjoy! :)

We’ve just now posted our first FREE craft project! This is our St. Patrick’s Day centerpiece idea; a paper shamrock house plant! It too has been moved over from our old craft website, and will be the first of many free craft project ideas that we will offer on this website. We hope you enjoy!

We’ve just posted our first FREE sewing pattern! And we anticipate this will be the first of many free sewing patterns we will offer. And if any of you think you recognize this felt banner, it would be because it was originally over on our old craft website, Holiday Crafts and Creations. But we are slowly moving all of our projects from there over to this website. So keep checking back for more!

Well, we FINALLY did it!! We finally finished the entire Holiday Cat & Dog Collection! It has taken us about a year, which seems like much longer than it should, but I suppose that’s what happens when daily life gets in the way. We are just so thankful for all the kind comments and messages we have received along the way. That has been what’s really kept us going! Well without further ado, meet Hugs, the Valentine Dog and the last pattern in our Holiday Dog set!
So now that our Holiday Dog collection is complete, the entire dog set is also now availabe. As with the Holiday Cat pattern collection, the Dog collection can be purchased all at once at a discounted price, rather than buying each pattern individually. We also offer a “Pick any 4” option, that is also slightly discounted like we did with the cat set. All of these new listings can be found here in our Etsy shop.
Well now that the entire series is completed, we almost won’t know what to do with ourselves!! Actually that isn’t true, we seem to have a humongous To-Do list, and many many pattern ideas in the works. I will probably be getting back to the backyard bird series, while mom is going to be starting some dolls! But first we will probably take some time to do a little “house cleaning” and get some loose ends wrapped up.
A big “Thank You” to everyone who waited so patiently for this collection to be done, and for all the support you gave us along the way! Our customers are the best!! :)
Happy sewing everyone!
After what has felt like forever, we finally finished the seventh, and final cat in our Holiday Cat Pattern series! Meet Lacey the Valentine Cat!! We had a few challenges with figuring out the design and colors, but she’s finally finished, and I think we are pretty pleased with how she turned out. And we hope you are too!
This of course means that the entire Holiday Cat collection is now available! This is something we’ve been waiting to have for a long time. The Holiday Cat pattern collection can be purchased all at once at a discounted price, rather than buying each pattern individually. We also offer a “Pick any 4” option, that is also slightly discounted. Lacey, and all her friends will be available in our shop here on our website soon, but in the meantime, you can find them for sale over at our Etsy shop.
So now we are moving on to the Valentine Dog! We hope to complete it very soon, and then our Holiday Dog collection will also be complete! We hope you like how all the kitties turned out!
Thanks for reading!

This is our first blog post on our new website, and we are excited to announce Harold the Hummingbird! He is the first in what we plan on being a 12 pattern series! Our Backyard Birds collection will be a set of 12 ornament sized plushies, that will be just perfect for hanging in a window, on the wall, or on the Christmas Tree.
Learn more about the pattern here!
Just outside of our work area, we have two bird feeders and some potted flowers, and we often get all types of birds visiting us there! Even now, in the dead of winter, we’ve seen a few hummingbirds quickly come and go. So we were inspired to create a backyard bird series, perhaps partially in anticipation for spring when we see even more bird activity!
The next pattern in this series that we hope to complete will be a nuthatch, one of my personal favorites! Not all of the birds in our series will be ones what we see in our own yard though. There are many, like the cardinal for example, that we don’t see here, but certainly can’t leave out! We’d love to get your input on what you’d like to see in this collection, but so far here is what we are thinking: Hummingbird (of course), nuthatch, chickadee, goldfinch, robin, blue jay, cardinal, western tanager, oriole, waxwing, woodpecker, and blue bird. But this is not set in stone, and we’d love your input if you have any other ideas.
But for now, the next project is to get the Valentine’s Cat and Dog wrapped up, so that’s what you’ll be seeing next!
Until then, happy sewing!
Kelli
