Fun to Craft feature

Hi Everyone!

I found the blog Fun to Craft a few months ago, and I really love it! 
The tutorials are so clever, and I really like all the link parties!
I asked Stacey a few questions about crafting for this post, here are her responses:

How long have you been crafting?
I have been crafting since I was a little girl...probably too long to say!

What type of craft(s) do you usually make?
I love making home decor crafts or other crafts that make life easier. I also LOVE to sew!

What projects are you currently working on?
I am working on a number of sewing projects right now.

What do you think is your favorite project you've ever made?
Every project is my favorite while I am working on it. I think any sewing project is definitely up there on my list of faves. But my most favorite, is probably the blessing dress I made for my little girl just because of the time and sentimental value in it.

Do you sell any projects or patterns? If so, where can we find them?
I do sell patterns. I opened up Hadley Grace Designs in April 2011. I am constantly working on more boutique style clothing patterns to put out there too. Right now, you can find me at http://hadleygracedesigns.etsy.com/ or you can see a few of my favorite patterns at http://hadleygracedesigns.bigcartel.com/  I am working on getting a regular website up and going too.

Thanks for answering the questions for me, Stacey!

Website of the Week

Hi Everyone!

This week I chose http://www.ohsohappytogether.blogspot.com/ for Website of the Week.  This blog is wonderful, I love all of Jessica's beautiful sewing projects!
I asked Jessica to answer a few questions, here they are with her responses.


When did you first start crafting?

 My mom and grandma were always crafting and so they let me craft with them ever since I could. I would say that I really got into it when I was towards the end of college though and even more so when my daughter was born.

What is your favorite item that you've made?

 My goodness. I would have to say the most favorite thing I have made are the scrappy bees for my daughter because she just adores them! She is usually sleeping with one and is always playing with them. It makes my heart very happy.

Are you working on any new projects?

 Oh yes. Probably too many! I'm trying to finish my daughter's "big girl" room before baby #2 arrives. I also have some maternity outfits in the make  and plan on getting some baby stuff in the works once we find out what it is.

What kind of crafts do you enjoy?

My favorite two all time crafts are sewing and crocheting. I really enjoy messing around with embroidery and painting too. I have some things on my list to learn too, so I'm sure my crafts will expand.

                                                                

Take a look at Happy Together, I promise you'll love it!
