I’m addicted to making mini things…are you? If so, here’s a super quick quilting project for you.
To create the pieces shown above I used “Live to Love” Clear Stamps for the picture frame and heart designs. You can find more specific how-to instructions over at Studio Crescendoh.
And speaking of mini, I’ll be taking multiple mini breaks this month so you probably won’t see much of me here. Like a birdie, I’ll be flying around here and there…and just in case you’re interested, I’ll be back here sometime in mid-flight with an update or two.
Just one quick question before taking off. While I’m away I’ll be thinking about my next giveaway (I hope to have my act together to be able to offer something in the beginning of next month.) Anyway, in the past I’ve been sticking to offering jewelry…is this something you’d like me to continue or perhaps you’d like something on a canvas or something quilty even? Or maybe you’re like me, and you like to have a little bit of everything. Please share whatever suggestions you might have. Thanks!

These are so cute! I love making tiny things! My art dolls are even quite a bit smaller than what most doll makers create. I just like things little! LOL! As for the giveaways, I love your jewelry, but you make gorgeous art, so really, anything you offer would be appreciated!

Love your mini clothespin ornaments…I think as you next giveaway you should offer a piece of that scrumptious looking cake in the last post and then whatever you feel appropriate. Have a good weekend!

Birds and hearts, how could I not love your clothespins! And so soft and dreamy, which is what I always feel when I look at your creations. Beautiful! I hope you will have a great time on your mini breaks 🙂 And for a giveaway, I think the best thing is a surprise! How could I ever choose, anyway? I love everything you make!

Becky, I think you’re the queen of “The Small” and “The Simple”! Just like they say about how the best things come in small packages!
Yesterday I bought my issue of Somerset Life – it’s my favorite magazine of all the Somerset publications – and there you are! I just love your little packets! I’m thinking how sweet something like this would be to make to give a friend as a little thank you. You’ve inspired me – again! And since I am trying to focus instead of scatter myself in so many different directions with my crafts, it’s sewing! Which is on my list! 🙂 If I make any, I’ll be sure to post them and will definitely say WHO inspired them!
For today…the rain is falling so I don’t know how good the light will be on my porch for painting…I may just pick up my needles, fabric and thread instead!
Thank you for making me smile today.

I love doing small things too, which doesn’t help use up much of my fabrics but I console myself with thinking about just how many little things I can make!
Every time I come here I am so inspired. Thank you!
