Red, White and Blue Decor
I pulled all my reds, white, and blues out to stack, sort and put together for pictures and for decorating in the farmhouse...my house. And before you know it July 4th had come and gone. But I love all of the Americana, all the red, white and blue decor.
And I made a few little things. Little houses, marble cake (polymer clay), napkins, and strawberries.
I was blessed to see my dear friend from Kansas. She's a lifetime friend. The best kind of friend.Cross stitching and wool stitching are my two favorites, because I feel like I can stitch while at home or when I"m visiting with family and friends....I love to stitch. It is very soothing to me and helps me organize my thoughts with each stitch.
My favorite thing in real life is a huge white armoire that I have filled with vintage quilts. So I love making miniature versions for my Etsy shop and my customers. I make them with seasonal quilt pieces to replicate the armoire I have. here is an Americana version.
Another simple thing to do is make little star quilts. It takes a fabric for the star and a fabric for the base, or the front that the star adheres to (I use heatnbond)
My Etsy shop Ribbonwoodcottage has several patterns for Americana style decor, diy miniature making, star quilts in small sizes 7" x 7" and so much more. And my patterns are simple. I love to inspire people with basic sewing or making skills to make and sew things. I remember getting so frustrated in 4th grade when I was learning to sew...with that thought in mind, I deliberately make my patterns easy so that people can ENJOY making what they are making!

Sweetest Little Americana Things
Hello everyone. I hope you had a wonderful Memorial Day weekend. We have several military people in our older generations, so it is always a good time of hearing family stories that are amazing.

Heart Strings are Being Pulled in Many Directions
Hey everyone, this will be a quick post. Recently our daughter had her baby and instead of being able to bring her home, the baby had to get some extra help and is in the NICU. She is holding steady, and we are praying over her, praying for healing, and thanking God for her life. She is so sweet and adorable. My daughter hasn't been able to hold her yet which she has been very emotional about. But they had to hook the baby up to a ventilator immediately after birth. I told my daughter that we needed to change our focus to 'the baby is alive because they hooked her up to a ventilator after birth.'

Free Labels for you and Sewing Room Pictures and Ideas
For a long time I organized with baskets and beautiful containers...then after two flood catastrophes, I moved what was recovered into plastic containers for the most part. Cute stuff is still in baskets up on shelves, and fabric storage is in larger plastic tubs with lids. I label and tag.
I am presently in the process of moving my sewing room
but here are so older pictures of my sewing area. I used quite a few baskets, and an armoire for some of the fabric. I have a lot of fabric!
All you need to do is tap on the labels. When they open up right click to save to your phone, computer or device. When you open them again, you can print them out onto paper. You can print out on card stock or full sheet sticker adhesive paper. Cut and attach and use on containers. Organize your supplies quickly by putting like things together. You can even go so far, to alphabetize in order. your containers so that you can find things quicker.
