Have you ever wanted to attempt a craft from Spoonful of Imagination but needed a little extra nudge?
Have you seen promotions for Spoonful Lab but have been too far away to attend?
Are you looking for a community of people to encourage and challenge your creative potential?
I’m excited to let you know we have created a solution for you.
Coming in early 2014 we will be launching a special members only portion of Spoonful of Imagination called Spoonful Tribe. You don’t have to wait for 2014 to start participating though! Today to celebrate this new chapter of Spoonful we are offering a limited quantity soft launch.
Last Thursday at my Handmade Christmas Spoonful Lab, the ladies that came created these beautiful Winter Wreaths and Holiday Ornaments. I set aside 12 sets of these craft supplies and you can sign up today to have them delivered right to your door!

Wouldn’t you love a fun craft to do during the holidays? By signing up, I will ship all the supplies directly to you which will include a secret code to a special video tutorial where I teach you how to do your crafts. Coming in 2014 will be more crafts, goodies, store discounts, and members only privileges for Spoonful Tribe members. Each month you will receive a new craft. You can purchase a Spoonful Box for you or you can request multiples to host your own craft night party!
The only catch is that once my supplies are sold out, you will have to wait for the next month’s offering. Don’t wait to join in!
Once we announce our official launch we will have different levels of membership available. For today’s special you can reserve your Spoonful Tribe Box for $20. Remember, when 12 orders come in, the offer will be closed for the month.

This is a one month offer with no further obligations!
Thank you to many of you for helping to contribute and inspire this idea. We’ve heard your feedback and I’m hoping this will be a special way for us to continue to expand the Spoonful of Imagination community and connect more with each other!

Love might not be an easy thing, but this sign sure can be an easy way to express it!



Do you love to give handmade gifts too? What are some crafts on your list? I’m hoping to paint Reagan some peg wood dolls. She is not into big cloth dolls but all the little plastic figurines, so I figure I am going to try to paint her some wood ones. If I am successful, I will be sure to let you know!
I picked up one card at a time and centered a heart onto the card by eye balling it in the middle. I then used my sewing machine and sewed the heart into place, just like I would sew any other fabric project.

That is it! The card can be done then or you can get creative and use decorative scissors to trim the edges. I have several pairs of these fun scissors (thanks to a sweet reader for this gift ;)). I played with the different edges on my cards. I also played with adding more sewn lines to my heart. Both of these options let you get more creative with your greeting card. I had fun making mine with my trusty crafting sidekick.

Now since my cards are not for me to send out, I created a small little tag that I wrapped around each card and envelope. I love how they came out.
With a little time and colorful paper we can brighten someone’s day and make those defeated days a little sunnier. If you follow me on 


The rug I found measured 19″ x 33″. I figured I could fold it in half and make a cool horizontal rectangular pillow. I had a fun zipper already on hand that I wanted to use, and it just so happened to be the right length. I stole a pillow insert from another throw pillow we had and got to work.
I sewed my zipper on and then closed up the sides. The print of my rug was useful in this process, as I merely followed sewing down the ribbon line to give myself a straight sewn line.
After my zipper was on and the sides were sewn up, I turned it right side out and stuffed my pillow insert in. It was complete! I love how this little pillow turned out! It was so cheap and the fun array of colors and texture make such a regular piece fun and lively.
The zipper adds so much character with that pop of red and chunky design. I love it.
