I'm Christina and I live in soggy Washington State near Portland, OR. My blog, www.sometimescrafter.blogspot.com/, is a creative journal, meant to keep me inspired and crafting. I enjoy many crafts: sewing, quilting, crochet, knitting, drawing, photography, embroidery, and the list goes on. I love a good book (romance), northwest wines (Oregon Blossom), the beach (Manzanita, OR), a good pen (ballpoint) and most especially my husband and our little guy (Aaron + Brice). You can see more of my photography at http://www.flickr.com/photos/zooraves/.

I don’t know about you, but I have the hardest time thinking of ideas for the men in my life when it comes to holidays. I would rather not gift, than gift something that isn’t meaningful and/or useful, which makes today’s gift a great choice for a lot of men in your life. My…

…these pillows are meant to provide a sense of comfort and home. In my last post I talked about printing on inkjet fabric sheets. It’s very simple to do and can be used in so many projects. For this project you will need various fabric scraps for the front of your pillow, a fat quarter for your backing, photos printed on inkjet fabric sheets, a scrap piece of batting and a travel size pillow (12×16″).
This is the time of year I think about which of my photos I can gift or what crafts I can make for gifts. When I’m able to incorporate the two, it’s not just a fun gift, but personal to the receiver as well. To make this tote, you will need 1/2 yard of heavy/decorator weight fabric…
I love to sew and craft, but perhaps more than that, I love to take photos of my creations. It’s not as easy as putting the item on a surface and snapping a photo.
