Today is a big day - today I slipped past 200,000 visits to my blog, and I want to thank all of you for commenting, watching, reading, and generally participating in my life through crafting!
To celebrate, what's a day like this without BLOG CANDY! It's nothing I tell you, so comment below, or on my Facebook page here and tell me in your comment what projects, tutorials or things you would like to see me write about in 2012 - I'll draw a winner on SATURDAY and send them a free stampset in the mail!
And of course, I thought I'd leave you with one of the many Christmas projects I made this year - this one was for my boys and it was possibly one of their favourite gifts (they LOVE getting snuggly in these every night!)..
Tyler's (on the right), needed to be hemmed up about 6" of course, but he'll have loads of room to grow into it. I used Simplicity Pattern 4388 for these, and I have to say, it wasn't the best pattern in terms of the written instructions - I know that a lot of reviewers loved this pattern and I did as well, but I would say that some of the actual instructions were vague - like the pockets - if you had never made them before, I have seen MUCH better tutorials than this one. But overall, I recommend this pattern because the robes turned out GORGEOUS and are so soft and nice!!
Congrats to Jen Greefhorst for winning the draw for a free stampset! She wins a Strength & Hope stampset for writing in. YAY YOU!

Hi Kari,
I would love to learn more about making step cards. They are cards that are cut and scored so they have a step in front or look like a 3 panel card with part of the card in the back and part in the front...Not sure if that is a good description or not.
I would also like to make cards with sewing on them (or sewing like stitches). Would love to make an Easter card using the tulip impressions folder with stitching or a stitching like look on the outside of the tulip border! So excited about Blog Candy! Hope your swaps went well!

Hey Kari....love seeing all your crafts on your blog :0)
I have gotten back into knitting and love it. Made all my presents this Christmas and think it will be the same from now on because I enjoyed it sooo much. So having you share your many talents will give me inspiration for next years gifts.
Thanks....Kelly
