Welcome to Sew Blessed

Sew Blessed - is the blog where I write about my crafting adventures, along with occasional bits about my family and other hobbies. I'll also tell you some of the "behind the scenes" stories related to creating Sodderbug charms.  This is my blessed life... enjoy! The archives are over here.

I LOVE this window!!!

I am so excited about how this window came out!!!  I painted it this week!!  The verse on it is Psalm 46:10, “Be still, and know that I am God”.    It is one of my  favorite verses.  I plan to hang this in my living room maybe by a wide ribbon?

A couple other projects to share!

 

Hand-me-down sweater, embroidered the N on it, came out pretty cute for a freebie!

I made this little coat for Nicholas completely out of scraps…

Scott had the dress shirt in the donate pile because he said the sleeves were too short.

I can make that!

Are you ever out shopping and see something you love and think, “I could soo make that!”  Usually at that point I take out my cell phone and take a picture of it or if I am on my computer I right click and save to my “Projects to Copy”  folder.  I thought I would show you a couple of projects that came about like that!

I don’t always like mine better but it is fun to try to make it instead of buying it!  This is the next thing I want to copy… a super girly chandelier for Reese!  I have been looking on craigslist for a cheap one to redo.
