Farmhouse signs are the home dec trend right now, and sometimes a little pricey.  So why not try this DIY project. Plus, if you want to personalize it, this project is perfect!  It's great for outdoors, but would also look great inside or on the front door.  Here's how!

  Are you ready for the weekend?  Then you need this charming bag.  I made the pouch by sewing thrift store blouses into a patchwork piece of fabric.  Then I used Fairfield Purely Cotton™ 100% natural needlepunched cotton batting sandwiched inside the patchwork fabric and cotton fabric in a marsala color.  I sewed a pouch with a flap, and added a necktie for a shoulder strap.   Next, I made a marsala colored tassel and pinned to the flap of the bag. Here's how: Gather your materials.  You'll need the Large PattieWack Tassel Maker.    Wind yarn on tassel maker...

Here's a cute little card for the kids to make on a rainy day.  They will have fun drawing the stick figure, and making a fan that turns into an umbrella!

Apply glue to one edge of the pleats.   Fold in half and glue together to form the fan/umbrella.   Glue umbrella into crease of card.   Draw a stick figure hold an umbrella handle.  Cut out.   Apply glue to back of stick figure cut-out....
