Witches Stitches – Just Some Pictures
I have to say I am sorry, but I am so far behind in my work
due to the snow and ice storm we had last Friday, (can’t put any of the dyed
fabric out to dry), that all I have this week is pictures of the paper swag
with flowers on it I told you I was making for my fireplace mantel last week. .
I printed it on craft card stock so it would have a muted look to match my
living room.
Next week I will show you how to make a quick and wonderful
looking little mini prairie doll just the right size for a doll house. You can put
them on a swag cinnamon sticks and they look great!

Needles-n-Pins Stitcheries: Springtime Patterns
Well I would think most everyone is so tired of winter especially with the harsh winter some of you had so I thought maybe we should turn our thoughts to Spring. Let's shake the winter blues off and start to create. Here are some patterns available for all of you crafters and sewers from the wonderful Etsy shops.
So if you are a knitter, crocheter, quilter or crafter Spring is a great time to get those creative juices flowing again.
You always need coaster for your drinks to sit on your tables and natalya1905 has a pattern for just that and these are made with pretty spring colors.
Bonnie at BonnieBraeCrafts has this cute spring embroidery pattern for all of you stitchers. You can make this and hang it on your wall to add a little spring to your home.
And who doesn't know someone that has a baby that would love a new pair of baby booties. Ruth over at RuthMaddock has this great pattern for you.
And then there is my favorite pastime.........quilting. I love all the spring colors and flowers in this quilt pattern from QuiltLilyDesigns.
Happy sewing!! :)

Jacquie's Up-Cycle Nation: Healing At Home
Healing happens best at home. No matter if the ailment is post-hospital, accident rehabilitation, or the common cold, symptoms subside and health returns wrapped in the comfort of familiar surroundings and family love.
Add to the speed of recovery with these Etsy up-cycle artists and pass the mending days in good spirits.
Stay cozy in style with up-cycled sweater quilts from Crispinaffrench. Traditional patterns mix with the soft textures of wool and cashmere to envelop any ailing soul in warmth and cheer. Crispina Ffrench also crafts imaginative soft toys perfect for the wee patient or young at heart!
Trade up those metal ambulatory devices for the intriguing richness of carved canes. A wooden helping hand can be found at BeyondAntiques. This Etsy vintage shop is also good medicine for the eyes so be sure to linger here browsing items from true vintage to American folk art.
Aromatherapy candles that double shift as sumptuous lotion? Yes, Please! Gaiasgardenproducts crafts soy candles in recycled glass bottles using only American sourced, all natural ingredients. Once the candle is extinguished the warm soy oil can be used as a moisture rich lotion to soothe aching dry skin or maintain that healthy glow.
Tablets are a one stop entertainment and connection source during recuperation. HublerFurniture offers stylish help in supporting the tablet. Made from reclaimed wood, Hubler Furniture's iPad stands are designed with natural instinct and a simple elegance perfect for home or office.

What is healing without humor? Fromtofrom creates creature comfort hot water bottles certain to ease the pain and rouse a smile. Made from up-cycled fabrics, the Hottie Collection pieces include a German Ecolux glass bottle for ultimate warmth and immediate snuggling.

For more fabulous up-cycled ways to save the earth while on the mend search recycled healing on Etsy!
