Monday Mania

Mondays are perfect for a little mania, am I right?  Mondays at Sew Craftastic are a time when we will share some favorite things, current obsessions and things that are just a little crazy.  So to start this Monday Mania....

GNOMES!

I am crazy about gnomes for some reasons (I am secretly planning a gnome garden for my backyard but don't tell my hubby!)  I took a few minutes to find my favorite gnomes on Etsy and thought I would share them with you today.

Who knows...a little gnome may even find its way into the FABULOUS FRIDAY GIVEAWAY!

Bigger and Better Giveaway!

This week proved to be a little more chaotic than planned... since Thursday and Friday slipped by with no giveaway we are making it bigger and better and extending the Fabulous Friday Giveaway through this week!!!

We are LIVE!

In honor of National Craft Month we are launching our new venture  

SEW CRAFTASTIC!

  

This project has been years in the making and I couldn't be more excited! 

 So, what is Sew Craftastic?  

  

Well....it's a little bit of this, a little bit of that and a whole lot of craftiness!

We want Sew Craftastic to be a one stop shop for all things crafty.  You can shop at sewcraftastic.com for supplies, kits, fabric and finished goods.  You can stop by this blog for tutorials, giveaways and to follow my crafting adventures (and misadventures of course).  You can also get right in the middle of the craft experience by joining us for a bimonthly Craft Camp.  

Craft Camp is a day long event that will include good food (my mama is the chef!), fun crafts and an amazing time with girlfriends new and old.  Our next CRAFT CAMP is April 20th, 2013.  Registration opened today so grab your spot ASAP!

 We are hosting the Craft Camp events at the WINGS Event Center in Edmond, OK.  Wings is an extraordinary community that fosters the independence and creativity of special needs adults.  Their facility is beautiful and the art studio is the PERFECT venue for our crafty excursions. 

 We are so happy to partner with the WINGS community and their amazing staff!

Be sure to stop by EVERY DAY this week (you wont want to miss it!)
Giveaways start tomorrow and new goodies will be added to the shop all week...

 

Giving new life to an old couch.....

I have been working on updating and organizing my studio/craft space.  There has been a lot of throwing things away and packing projects into tubs.  So refreshing to clean and regroup! My sweet friend Maria (more on her and her fabulous business coming soon) has been helping me ...and yes you can say, BLESS HER HEART!  This place was a disaster area!  

It is coming along very nicely and I will definitely share it all with you soon, but for today I wanted to give you a little sneak peak of my next project- the COUCH RECOVER. 

We have a COMFY old couch that has been with us for about 8 years.  We have it in the playroom side of my shared space and this baby needs a facelift.  I am seriously loving the hodge-podge fabric designs you are seeing in spring furniture lines so I thought I would attempt to recreate that look on my own.  

I took a little time (cough cough) and scrolled through fabric.com to see what they had to match my color inspiration:

This is a picture of tile on a bathroom wall at Magic Kingdom in Disney World.  

I fell in love with everything about it!  

Here are the fabrics I am thinking about....what do you think??

New look

We will be launching Sew Craftastic VERY SOON and the new designs for our website and blog are almost ready.  I can not wait to share all of the amazing tutorials, projects and events that we have planned with you-

 but for now you can enjoy this little sneak peek......
