Breakfast @wafflehouseofficial with my awesome kid (and puppy) #cutekids #ogdolls #wafflehouse #coffeegoals

In 2011, I made a glorious queen-size quilt for my first apartment with my then-fiance. It was a big project for a first-time quilter, but it worked out and has made me very happy. And I made a small #lapquilt for my grandmother for Christmas two years ago. I have been promising my mum a handmade quilt for YEARS now, but life kept interrupting, so I put this big project on the back-burner five years ago. I had bought most the fabric I thought I would need to make a simple block quilt with red, white, and blue square repeating pattern, but it ended up in boxes as I moved. Flash forward to two weeks ago. I was rifling through my craft hoard *ahem* stash and found the bag that contained all the fabric!😄 I realized that just simple squares wasn't going to do my work justice or her justice, so I made a plan and decided to sew my first #piecedquilt for her. She served in the Army and was a Field Artillery Officer, back when very few women had any major roles in combat positions. I am proud of her service and wanted to make a "patriotic" quilt for her. So, using the red, white, and blue fabric, I've come up with this! The quilt will initially be sewn on my sewing machine, then #handquilted by me. It'll be perfect as a throw blanket and fits a twin-size bed. I have the first row finished for the #quiltblocks and have 5 more rows to sew. I'm hoping this will be finished in time for her birthday in June🦊❤🎂 #quilt #thirdtimesacharm #piecedquilts #craftymama #makerdreamerdoer #ilovemysewingmachine #sewcrafty #craftsupplyhoarder #fabric #cotton #redwhiteandblue #patrioticquilt #womeninthearmy #fieldartillery #fieldartilleryofficer #womanofficer #powerfulwomen #mymomwearscombatboots

Here's my #monthlyspread for February! I decided on a #coffee theme. I used @tombowusa #dualbrushpens for the artwork; the blue patterned paper is from @nekobox.japan ; the yellow gingham paper is from a Ms. Sparkle & Co. Woodland themed paper pack, the calendar is from a scrapbook calendar paper, both are from @joann_stores ; and the lined paper is from a vintage stenographer's notebook I found on my travels.😊 #craftymama #makerdreamerdoer #bulletjournal #bujo #travel #antiques #vintage #monthlylayout #collage #coffeeislife #coffeegoals #coffeelove https://www.instagram.com/marcellafox/p/Btls7TDn_QX/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=mj9t6rhntf65

I found some awesome yarn at a local farm co-op store over Thanksgiving break. I decided to teach myself how to finger weave it into a scarf. So far, I am thoroughly enjoying the process! 😁 🦊💖🧣 #craftymama #yarn #shoplocal #ombre #scarf #fingerweaving #diy #winterfashion #babyitscoldoutside #wip https://www.instagram.com/marcellafox/p/Bqs6wMyA41S/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=irr22xywhpsl

4th week of June's #weeklylayouts 🤓 This one incorporates #washitape from @papergame.co again (awesome service, btw. Go check it out!) I also included some stamps that I had collected when I was a kid living in Germany in the 80s and 90s 🦊❤🇩🇪 #craftymama #makerdreamerdoer #bulletjournal #bujo #tombow #tombowdualbrushpens #sakurapigma #micronpen #philatelly

I went to @marshalls with my Mum, G.G., and Leocadia to look for clothes, and found an #americangirlbrand bed for $40 instead. 😁 Of course, I couldn't leave it there for that price, so now #doty2017 Gabriela has a comfy bed to sleep in at G.G.'s house when we visit! Leocadia is overjoyed and is having a blast playing with it.🦊❤ #craftymama #americangirldoll #agig #altagig #xmassale #clearancescores https://www.instagram.com/marcellafox/p/BsHH4kPANXU/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=11ggwd9cd8z11

Stepping waaaaay out of my comfort zone!😲😅😎

I started unpacking and took a #sneakpeek picture of goodies I found on my travels 🦊❤🗺🚅🚌🛣🚤🛫 ° Leocadia and I arrived home yesterday evening after a few weeks visiting family in #newengland ! We had #fun and #adventure and went on a couple #expeditions to #museums and areas of interest. ° We spent lots of time with family, especially with my Gran 💖, went #swimming, and got to ride in some boats on #lakewinnipesaukee . After all the hustle and bustle, I am so happy to be back in #tennessee despite the humidity and heat that is typical of #southernsummer ♨️🌡😅! ° A huge THANK YOU!!! goes to @joshpneal for giving us a ride to and from the #nashvilleairport ! ° I'll post more pictures of my #goodies later, after I manage to check the farm and animals, run errands, and pick up mail in town... #priorities ° Right now I need #tylenol 💊for the muscles I pulled in my back yesterday 😖 and #coffee ☕to help get me moving! #craftymama #makerdreamerdoer #bulletjournal #bujo #travel #antiques #vintage #massachusetts #newhampshire #shoppingspree #goodies #coffeelove #coffeeislife #backpain
