A Whole Lot of Goodies!!!!

May 28, 2008 By A Spoonful of Sugar - 16 Comments

This week I have been very busy,  including going to the Perth Craft and Quilt Show.

I bought scrapbooking paper, stickers, a button, seed beads, neck chains and pendants for the chains.

When we arrived there was a dance competition before they opened the doors. I was one of the few chosen. I received stickers, cardboard cut outs, tags and an iron on sticker as a prize. This got the day off to a good start!

Also this week we received a wonderful gift from the creative Emma at Jelly Belly*Jelly Brain. We received her specialty – a lovely scented heart to put in your underwear drawer or hang on your wardrobe door. She also sent some lovely postcards of her part of the world – all tied up with some beautiful ribbon. Check out Emma’s site as she makes some lovely items.

At the craft show I got some inspiration to get out my bead loom. I am going to turn it into a bracelet. All I have to do is sew it together.

    Hi Sarah – what wonderful goodies you got at the craft show. What is a bead loom? You will have to post a photo – as I’ve only seen beads strung one by one through needle and thread. The pink and yellow bracelet is looking very lovely. Have a fun rest of the week. Hugs Julz

    I love your blog so much!!!!

    Where are those little buttons from on the heart? Are they one of Robson and Mason’s mixed button jars? I have an order from them to Australia last month, and it was so so beautiful. I saw them in Country Living magazine.

    Any plans for more Lavernder sachets?

If you’ve ever wanted to add eyelets or grommets t If you’ve ever wanted to add eyelets or grommets to your sewing projects, here’s a quick look at how I install them using my DK93 snap press. It’s the same tool I use for snaps — and it makes installing eyelets beautifully quick and consistent.For this Ribbon Pouch, I used the Liberty Gifts from the Garden collection (printed on Lasenby cotton and released in January 2026). The colours and motifs pair so well with the little ribbon tie detail.Here’s how to install the eyelets:Punch out the four holes using a hole‑cutting die.Place the eyelet into the hole.Press it into place using the snap press.That’s it — easy peasy, and it gives the pouch such an elevated, professional finish.

The black‑and‑white striped binding adds such a crisp, modern finish. It’s a wonderful project for building your FPP confidence — and a fantastic way to use up those treasured scraps.The Twirling Treasures Hot Pad set is our Pattern of the Week.
