    i can say that the best tip is to not post on fb every hour. a lot of blogs i follow and that have fb pages think that it’s good to post every couple hours about stupid stuff that i don’t want to read! “what should i make for dinner?” and stuff that i don’t care about. it’s just kind of annoying to see the posts pop up all the time when they don’t have anything to do with what the blog is about.

Introducing my latest make—the Dresden Needleboo Introducing my latest make—the Dresden Needlebook! ✂️💖This little beauty is practical, charming, and packed with personality. For this version, I dove into my stash of small Japanese florals, mainly from the fabulous Atsuko Matsuyama, pairing a pink and aqua Dresden plate with a bright yellow center for a pop of cheer. The base? Sweet polka dots, finished with aqua gingham binding for a classic touch!Inside, I added fruit labels and appliqués for extra charm, and the felt pages (in a stunning pink wool felt!) keep pins and needles neatly in place. Plus, with two internal pockets, there’s space for all those little sewing essentials.The Dresden Needlebook has been one of my most-loved patterns this year! Want the pattern?
