Feature Friday-Blog Swap with Scraps N’ Strings

August 27, 2010 By Michelle Barneck Leave a Comment

Scraps N' Strings

Hello to A Little Tipsy readers! This is Ruth and Sammy from Scraps N’ Strings and we are so excited to be doing our blog swap with Michelle! We figure we had better introduce ourselves a bit before we start.

I’m Ruth and I am a stay at home mommy of 2 (3 and 1) and a part-time photographer, you can see my work here. I enjoy making “stuff” and taking pictures of them! I especially love to sew and like to break out the Modge Podge. I love anything that is quick and simple! After I got married, I started crafting with my sister-in-law Sammy as a way to make our homes cute without spending a lot of money.

My name is Sammy and I have 2 darling little boys, 2 1/2 and 1 year. I’m a stay at home mom and I like to spend my zero amount of free time trying to be crafty and beautifying my home. One of the first things my husband said to me when we bought our home was, “You want to put crafts up, don’t you?” So that’s what I’ve done. And now we’ve decided to share some of our ideas with you! We’ve got a little bit of everything on our blog, from baby and home tutorials to recipes!

Michelle wanted us to answer a few questions to help all of you get to know us better! So here we go- oh this is Sammy by the way 😀

What is your favorite crafting tool or secret weapon? I would have to say that my new favorite tool that I have is the buttonhole foot on my sewing machine. I have just recently started using it and I love it! I think that my family is sick of me showing them all of the awesome buttonholes that I’ve made. They apparently aren’t so easily impressed. 🙂

What is your favorite thing about back to school? My current favorite thing about back to school is that I’m not going back to school… hehe. But I don’t look forward to my kiddos getting to that age, I’m kind-of attached to them at the moment.

What is your favorite thing for breakfast? My favorite breakfast is peanut butter toast on the 9-grain bread from bountiful baskets and a banana. It definitely helps to get me up and going in the morning.

Here are some of the fun crafts that we have had on our blog lately…

Our Pretty in Pink Flower

Our Pretty Petal Skirt

Our Sweet Vintage Bunting

Our Tag-Along Lion Named Phil

And our Crate Planter

We hope that you will come and stop by Scraps N’ Strings and maybe find a little inspiration for yourselves while you’re there! Thanks for having us over Michelle!!

Feature Friday-Blog Swap with At Second Street

August 13, 2010 By Michelle Barneck 3 Comments

Hi tipsy readers, My Name is Kalleen from At Second Street.

I’m a mother of four who loves to craft, create and design for my home and family.

Here are a few of my favorite posts/tutorials you can find over at Second Street:
I love making these T-Shirt Hats I try to make birthdays fun with special CAKES. I love to REFASHION CLOTHING. This jumper is made from a women’s top.
Every now and then I make something for myself, like this TAG WALLET.

Meal time can be fun again with these FOOD FACE PLATES.
Michelle asked to answer the following questions:

  • What is your favorite crafting tool or secret weapon? This is a hard one. I’m gonna have to pick my sewing machine. I use it all the time and not just for sewing clothes. I use it for so many other crafts. In fact a couple years ago 95% of my sewing machine use was for none clothing items.

  • What is your favorite part of back to school?I hate to be superficial, but I love getting my kids wardrobe together. Last year we did a fashion show for dad with all their “new” clothes. My son tried on all his new hand-me-downs and my daughter got a mix of new and homemade clothes. It helped build an excitement about going back, when they didn’t want to.
  • If you were a color which would you be and why?Blue! I’ve always loved blue. It’s the color of the sky and water, my favorite things to look at in nature. It has a way of relaxing and comforting me. Plus my eyes are blue.
I hope you’ll come by Second Street and say hi.
Thanks Michelle for swapping with me today!

Feature Friday-Blog Swap with Creative Itch

May 28, 2010 By Michelle Barneck 2 Comments

I’m so excited to be swapping blogs with Michelle today!! Let me introduce myself…..

I’m Misty from Creative Itch.

Photobucket

I’ve been happily married to my best friend for 12 years, and am the proud Momma of 5 fantastic kids….four girls, ages 10, 9, 7, 4, and a boy who’s 2. I love anything and everything crafty, and am always on the hunt for great projects to try.

I have an ever growing “To Do List” on my sidebar, and thought I’d share a few that I’ve been able to tackle.

These cute Accordion Albums were fun and simple to make!

My daughters were pleased as punch with their cute Scripture Covers!

And my sewing machine has been happy ever since I made this Sewing Machine Cover to protect her from all the dust that seems to collect in my house!

I also love to cook and bake!! I try and post recipes that my family loves on Fridays, like this yummy Pistachio Nut Pudding!

If you’re looking for some fun sewing ideas, or want to share one of your sewing projects, join me on Tuesdays for my “Sew Cute Tuesday” linky party! I’m amazed each week by the fun projects that are linked up!

Before I go, Michelle asked me to answer 3 questions so you could get to know me a little bit better…….
#1. What is your favorite crafting tool or secret weapon?
Right now, my favorite crafting tool is my sewing machine! I’m a beginner when it comes to sewing, but I find it relaxing, and am always very proud of myself when I finish a project!

#2. If you could take the fam anywhere this Memorial Day Weekend, where would it be and why?
I would be content to stay home with my family this Memorial Day Weekend!! My husband works out of town 4 days a week, so when he’s home, we try to take advantage of our time with him!! My perfect weekend would include playing games, watching movies, and having a BBQ with my little family!

#3. Describe your favorite pair of shoes…
I’m a plain Jane when it comes to shoes!! I own exactly 6 pairs of shoes and 2 pairs of flip flops. I love to look at cute shoes while shopping, but seldom buy any for myself. The ones I wear most often are a black pair of crocs. Boring, I know!!

Thanks again, Michelle, for letting me take over your blog today!! I had a blast!

Aren’t those scripture covers adorable?! Thanks Misty for swappin’ it up!
