now I can put a pineapple on anything

 
Why would anyone in their right mind
spend a whole day cutting millions of prairie points
 
 
and then spend another day sewing the millions
of prairie points onto fabric just so they
could have a pineapple?
 
 
Did I mention there were millions of prairie points?
 
 
I'm so glad I finally have this idea out of my head now.
because if I thought about it anymore my head
would have blown off.
 
If you would like a tutorial for a pineapple let me know.
I'm happy to keep your head from blowing off too.

not your average nana

 
I picked up this great but ratty stool at a garage sale.
 
When I posted a photo of it on instagram
the main response was "my nan had one of those"!

 
 I never met my nan but
 

 
I like to imagine she was a fun and funky nan

 
so I hope she'd like what I've done to the stool.

a quick valentine's day roundup

 
As some of you may know we don't do Valentine's Day
in our house but I still love hearts!
 I've gathered a few of my heart projects so if
you would like to make a few pretty hearts here are
the links to those on my blog ~
 
Hanging fabric hearts tutorial can be found here
 
Little tiny hearts can be found here.
 
 
Paper heart garland here.
 
 
and finally a shaggy , scrappy heart here.
 
 
Although some of them couldn't officially be called tutorials
they are so simple to do just by looking at the pictures.
 
I like simple.
 
I do simple well.

Learn to chain, single crochet and turn your work
