Leocadia Had A Little #homedepot Love Today! She Got A Free #homedepotpro Hat And Totally Rocked It!🦊💖

In 2011, I made a glorious queen-size quilt for my first apartment with my then-fiance. It was a big project for a first-time quilter, but it worked out and has made me very happy. And I made a small #lapquilt for my grandmother for Christmas two years ago. I have been promising my mum a handmade quilt for YEARS now, but life kept interrupting, so I put this big project on the back-burner five years ago. I had bought most the fabric I thought I would need to make a simple block quilt with red, white, and blue square repeating pattern, but it ended up in boxes as I moved. Flash forward to two weeks ago. I was rifling through my craft hoard *ahem* stash and found the bag that contained all the fabric!😄 I realized that just simple squares wasn't going to do my work justice or her justice, so I made a plan and decided to sew my first #piecedquilt for her. She served in the Army and was a Field Artillery Officer, back when very few women had any major roles in combat positions. I am proud of her service and wanted to make a "patriotic" quilt for her. So, using the red, white, and blue fabric, I've come up with this! The quilt will initially be sewn on my sewing machine, then #handquilted by me. It'll be perfect as a throw blanket and fits a twin-size bed. I have the first row finished for the #quiltblocks and have 5 more rows to sew. I'm hoping this will be finished in time for her birthday in June🦊❤🎂 #quilt #thirdtimesacharm #piecedquilts #craftymama #makerdreamerdoer #ilovemysewingmachine #sewcrafty #craftsupplyhoarder #fabric #cotton #redwhiteandblue #patrioticquilt #womeninthearmy #fieldartillery #fieldartilleryofficer #womanofficer #powerfulwomen #mymomwearscombatboots

My 3rd #weeklylayout of my #coffeetheme #February I designed the calendar stickers used for each day. I'm going to be making the design into a stamp using the #sillouettemint my mum gave me for #xmas2018 (thanks mum!!! 🦊❤) The tiny year sticker is also a stamp I designed and carved (coming up in another post). I once again used paper from @nekobox.japan and some #vintagepaper, along with my trusty @tombowusa #dualbrushpens, @sakuraofamerica #micronpen , @avery #stickersheets , @zebrapen_usa #mildliner #craftymama #makerdreamerdoer #craftsupplyhoarder #bulletjournal #bujo #stickers #stamps #stampcarving #diy #coffee #coffeegoals #coffeeislife #coffeelove https://www.instagram.com/marcellafox/p/Btl1luAHdk4/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1sw41zyu22u5t

First week of July's spread! ° The crystal cutouts and paper are from @craftsmithco (from their "Aurora" paper pad), which I bought from @michaelsstores . °The #holographic #washitape is from @scotchproducts and is sold @target . °The lettering was done with @tombowusa #dualbrushpens and @sakuraofamerica #pigmamicron pens. °I added a bit of #shimmer to the crystals by layering on @spectrumnoir #sparklepens in similar hues. #craftymama #makerdreamerdoer #bulletjournal #bujobuddies #bujotracker #bujoinspiration #bujoweeklyspread #bulletjournalweekly #bujojuly #bujo #bujoobsessed #fourthofjuly #vacation #organization #handlettering

I found out today that there is an #echinacea (#purpleconeflower) called #rainbowmarcella 🦊❤🌈🌻 This makes me infinitely happy, since it's so hard to find anything with my name on it!😍 I hope you all have a wonderful day, and plant some #rainbows in your gardens!

I would like to announce the arrival of the beautiful Addy to our home! My friend, @anniehunnam85 generously gifted her to me and I am over the moon with happiness!🦊❤🦊❤🦊 I've already put up her hair and am planning on getting/sewing her some more clothes. She'll be a bit of a time-traveller and be a friend to Leocadia's dolls, but she wholly mine and I love her! Thank you, @anniehunnam85 !!!❤❤❤ #agig #altagig #joytoeverygirl #agdollhouse #craftymama #myfirstagdoll #addydoll

This has been my WIP over the last few days. My friend, the fabulous @brimalaspino , has done beautiful Mehndi work and she inspired me to try doing a mandala for my #bulletjournal * The mandala was drawn with a #sakuramicron pen and, accented with gold foil #washitape , and then colored with #watercolorpencils * Since I didn't want to cover up and mar all the intricate work I had just done, I used thin vellum to create my weekly spread overlay. More strips of gold #washitape accent the weekly layout and tracker sections. * I can't wait to start writing in this #weeklylayout !🦊❤📖🖋 * #bulletjournal #bujo #craftymama #makerdreamerdoer #art #weeklies #colorspectrum #rainbows #gold #bujobuddies #micronpen
