I got the chance to try out a new project with my cricut- cutting felt! A friend needed some letters cut for a banner for a wedding.
I cut my felt with a deep cut fabric on a piece of scrap cardboard (to save my cutting mat). It worked incredibly well. The letters are 6″ tall, using George and Basic Shapes cartridge.
I’ve been working on a larger cross stitch piece, but in the mean time I took a break and made this cute and sparkly pattern.
Sometimes it’s nice to finish something quick!
I had quite the organizing weekend- I finally sorted through things that I’d been putting off in my craft room. I went through a drawer of tangled lace and ribbon, my yarn pile, and my stamps. I even labeled all my scrapbooks:
Scrapbook Spine Labels
I added the pictures of my other work here. And also new pictures of our house-which I had been meaning to do for about a year now!
The beginning of the year reminds us all we have a fresh start. A new chance to change old habits and learn new things. Once I learned one craft, I wanted to learn them all! Over Christmas my mom taught me the secrets of cross stitching. This was my first attempt, and I learned quite a bit in the process. Now I’ve already started my second project!
There’s a new addition to our GaterBait website: Gaterbait Designs.
GaterBait Designs hosts handmade items, mostly crocheted goods, that I am able to make for sale. Currently GaterBait Designs works only through personal interaction. There is no online storefront to buy through. If you are interested in items pictured please contact Sarah for more information.
Items can be made in varying sizes and colors.
I have seriously been crochet-mania recently. I found some adorable free patterns online and can’t stop making them!
This first one actually doesn’t have a pattern. My mom bought this beautiful headband on one of her travels and helped me duplicate it. Mine’s a little larger than the original, but I feel pretty proud of this first attempt.
This weekend I worked in Nashville, and on the drive I made a tiger and cow hat.

Repeat Crafter Me is so cool, want to make all the things!
I love fall and harvest time!
My mom and I had seen these canning ring pumpkins at an antique store and just knew we could make them. I think it turned out even cuter than any other ones I’ve seen!
Since there’s been a lot of extra shooting in my life right now… Here’s some more UK Rifle
