Giveaway! Measuring Tape Love!

More delish Treasury Love. Been wanting to do one like this myself, so I am dee-lited to see this Treasury titled, "Measure Up" by michvanetta. What is it about old school style measuring tape?

In honor of this treasury, and for the sewing inspiration that always accompanies the onset of spring, I am giving away a measuring tape notebook.


To enter the giveaway, post something sweet on my blog, for instance: What's so great about Spring? For a double entry, post a cool blog or website link to a fun sewing craft idea.

Winner announced April 1st. <3

Towels, Shows, & Other Good Stuff

So much news since my last entry. New city (Corpus), new apartment (totally heart it), new everything practically. Including this new item of obsession: towels. And make-your-own-bias tape. Here is a bias tape making tool in action.


These are "prototypes," which is what I call anything that I screw up when I'm first learning to make it. So they are in fact all screwed up but the colors are still fun. And there is a fresh stack of hand towels ready to be decorated in a non-screwed up fashion.







These goodies and lots more will be featured at my next show: The Lone Star Ladies Present: Shop Austin on April 18 in downtown Austin. Go here to reserve half price tickets to pick up when you arrive at the show.

The very generous Catherine of The Everyday Scrapper featured Crab Apple Designs on her blog this week and used items from the shop for several of her paper crafting projects. It is a huge honor for me to be featured and I want everyone to go there and show her website all kinds of love!!
