Snippets

June 30, 2009 By Spoonful of Sugar - 50 Comments

According to Wikepedia, a Snippet is a small piece of something. Here are a few Snippets from my week….

Crafting

I have been working on a few projects for a magazine. Here is a peak at one of the projects..

Shopping

I couldn’t pass up with lovely Kokka print from Hot Possum

Entertaining

I made up a versatile cream cheese and herb filling which was piped onto cucumbers and mini toasts to make two different savouries.Β 

Quitlting

I have been working on my String Quilt – 32 blocks done, 16 to go!!

School holidays start next week and I have a week off from my day job. Looking forward to sleep in’s, family time, and lots of crafting.

    Hi girls, love the flowers on a stick, so simple and yet really effective, could be an idea to do with the kids over the holidays. Loving the quilt by the way can’t wait to see the end result.

    I love string quilts! Yours is going to be gorgeous with those beautiful fabrics you picked out. One of these days, I will make the time to make one myself. And those flower snippets are really adorable and charming next to the big lollipops. What a great week you’re having!

In today's reel, I'm transforming the Sugar Totes into a festive advent calendar using simple self-cover buttons and heat transfer vinyl numbers.

Here's how I made them:

 🎁 Cover 22mm metal self-cover buttons with natural linen
 🎁 Cut numbers from black heat transfer vinyl (Arial Rounded MT Bold, 42pt)
 🎁 Make the buttons first, then carefully apply the numbers using an iron on medium heat
 🎁 Attach the numbered buttons to the totes

The Sugar Totes are the perfect size for little treats, chocolates, notes, sewing goodies or other small surprises to open each day in the lead-up to Christmas.

Best of all, the Sugar Totes are included in the Christmas Cheer Bundle, packed full of festive sewing projects. Sugar Totes are exclusive to the bundle and not available elsewhere.
