Holiday How-To with Jenelle of Echinops & Aster

Happy Friday!  :-)  I hope you all had a wonderful Thanksgiving!  Today I will be doing some shopping online and putting up my Christmas decorations.  Have you already decorated?

Today, I wanted to share a project that our friend, Jenelle at Echinops & Aster, has created using some beautiful fabric from Etchings by 3 Sisters. 

This project is the last of four projects in her "Holiday How-To" series.  Not only is the project beautiful, but she does a great job with step-by-step instructions.

Holiday How-To Series

Hey there!  :-)  Just a quick post tonight to introduce a fun series that we're helping to sponsor. 

Jenelle over at Echinops and Aster has kicked off her four week "Holiday How-To" series.  Each week, she's sharing a great project tutorial as well as a sponsored giveaway.  This week, she posted some super cute felt ornaments. 

Do you make any ornaments for your tree?  I might just try these cuties out!  Won't you stop by and check out her super cute ornaments and say hello to Jenelle?  :-)  We're looking forward to the rest of the projects in the series, including a special project in Week 3 that we are sponsoring a giveaway for.  :-)

Crafty Goodness

Hey y'all!  I wanted to stop in and share a little cross-crafty goodness with you today.  If you're like me, you probably dabble in a variety of crafts.  I also love papercrafting and I can tell you that one of the first blogs I started ever following was Mish's blog.  She has such a fun style and way of mixing lots of elements to create something amazing.  Not to mention, she can make some awesome the handmade embellishments too!

Recently, I saw on her blog that she fell in love with some Bliss prints she found at a local shop and I contacted her about offering some up to her readers from Sew Lux - kind of my way of saying "thanks for all the inspiration!"  She'll be doing that giveaway soon, but I wanted to also point you in the direction of this awesome post where she made some great embellishments inspired by the Bliss fabrics.

Here's a sneak peak ...
