Hello 2014

I've been neglecting this little space of mine, but I'm OK with that for now. I've been trying to sit back and enjoy the ride for a bit. But I do share what I'm up to on Instagram from time to time (I'm @gwennypenny2), so I'd love to see you over there.

I have been sewing. I made a whole slew of tissue holders for Christmas...


Updated: I totally forgot to mention the tutorial I used for these tissue holders! It's from The Cottage Mama, and you can find it here.

Another one of my birth announcement embroidery hoops for my new nephew...


And an applique penguin t-shirt for my youngest's 4th birthday...


This was done using the Silhouette Portrait that I got for Christmas. I love that machine so much. I always wondered if I would actually use one if I had it, so I never really thought about getting one, but I have given that thing quite a workout in the month that I've owned it. If you're on the fence, get one!

See you around :)

  8. glad to hear from you.

    Tissue holders/covers were the first thing we sewed in Home Ec. back in Gr. 8. I've been thinking of making a couple since the thin packaging doesn't hold up very well in my bags. Thanks for the link now I can recreate my early sewing days!

    That penguin is amazing! You did an excellent job!
