Celebrate Color with StichedinColor blog

I have a couple of blogs that I really enjoy visiting. It's to fun to read, fun to watch and LOTS of great hints and ideas for sewing and stitching. One of them is Stichted in Color run by Rachel. She mostly writes about sewing and quilting but she's also fan of stitching and crochet.

Starting from today she's hosting a 3-month party called Celebrate Color with fall as the main theme. There will be a lot of inspiration, a lot of sharing our own ideas and some cool contests with prizes as well :). I will be there for sure, at least as the viewer :).
Cheers!

Handmade Holidays - grab the needles to your hands!!!

It's not much about embroidery but every needle&thread addict will love all that can be found on Sew, Mama, Sew blog. Each day there comes a post plenty with various ideas regarding handmade things. So, if you've had worries about gifts to your dearest ones you can have a deep breath now. Some scraps, a few needles and threads, a bit of sewing skills, but first of all - positive attitude and willingness to spare your time will do wonders. At least this is how it looks like...
After reading first posts about Handmade Holidays I took out the sewing machine with old fabric scraps and started to make a fabric book for my son. And yes, this means I put aside my Hardanger embroidery. But I just cannot help myself. And the more I read these posts my to-do list grows and grows.



Oh, the last but not the least - if you comment the Handmade Holidays posts you have a chance to win great books - every day brings another one. In fact I shouldn't write this as it makes my chances lesser ;).
