knick knacks & ric rac

  i picked up this beauty at the thrift store a few days ago for under twenty dollars. when i opened up the case i knew i couldn’t leave the store without it (i like to think i know a good thing when i see it!) i use my trusty old industrial singer & merrow machines for […]

  i made this while procrastinating…like i need another mushroom-y thing around the house! i was thinking how nice a toadstool pillow would look nestled with the log pillows on the sofa. i made this using the pattern from my toadstool doorstops. i enlarged it 150% and took in the top of the stem a […]

i was inspired to make this felt applique hex sign rug after finishing up the artwork for this new summertime skirt print… can you tell? i love the boldness and simplicity of this new print! the skirt should be available on my website next month here it is! http://madewithlovebyhannah.com/hexsign.html   (sign up for my e-mailing list […]

i was going through some sweaters that i haven’t worn lately and pulled out this cute norwegian sweater. i found it at the thrift store over a year ago, and though i’ve pulled it out a few times to wear, i’ve never actually worn it. i don’t really know why, because i like the pattern, […]

thrift stores are full of dorky sweater vests. i got this idea to restyle one into a cute dirndl-bodice-like top. (that adorable felt flower brooch is from the fabulous woolly fabulous!) i liked the nordic looking pattern knitted into this one, and the silver buttons. it was kind of frumpy and big to begin with, but […]

i’ve been ogling this sweater on etsy non-stop. i really like it but it has a few problems…first i never wear pullovers, and the other problem is all that pom pom flower cuteness is unfortunately placed for a busty lady like myself. also i don’t really like to wear clothes with collars. and i don’t need […]

okay, i’m starting to think i might have a problem. remember that giant sequin mushroom that was supposed to be cute little mushrooms? i saw this cute little tree stump trivet project from martha on one pretty thing and i really wanted to make one. then i got the idea to make a giant one […]

take a peek at these new skirts i just added to my website. here’s the folk flower applique skirt i showed you a little bit of last week… and these fun colorful skirts featuring different alpine trims…i think these ones look pretty sporty!! i’m calling this one alpine skirt. both of these skirts i put in […]

here’s a sneak peek at the applique detail on one of my new skirts.  i screen printed the folky flowers and used a cute green calico for the leaves. that plaid fabric really is as bright as it looks, i love it! coming soon…really, really soon!

the toadstool tea towels are available again! i’m printing up a whole bunch of them this week.
