This year we’re ditching all the Christmas wrapping papers and are ”wrapping” our gifts in these – our new mini-Santa’s bags! I bought some cheap red cloth, and old table cloths and runners and sewed them into bags. It was a real fun project, easy to sew and so satisfying to use up all the …
What do you do when you have a whole stash of scraps of lace that can’t really be used for anything important? You turn them into a lovely lace garland! I laid out my lace scraps and sewed them onto a ribbon. I was in the mood to make it as quickly as possible, so …
Here’s a quick and easy DIY to make a miniature Midsummer Pole for your Midsummer table. I folded a green pipe cleaner in half and twisted it. I took about half of another pipe cleaner and did the same thing and added it making a cross. Then I made two green circles and glued on …

My parents are definitely making the most of this social distancing/quarantine-time – my dad is baking bread and keeping busy like always, and my mom is sewing and being creative.
