crookedwhimsy: Scrapbusting!
crookedwhimsy: I love my mini so much! I love the pattern you chose, the vibrant, happy colors you used and the hand quilting...it's all perfect! This was one of my absolute favorites, and I was hoping all along it might be for me. Thank you so much, @hellofromjodi!
crookedwhimsy: A book of lovely knitting projects for my partner to make and a colorful, scrappy bookmark. Thanks for the quick and easy tutorial @sotakhandmade! #rainbowminiswapr2 #rainbowminiteamblue #scrapbusting #knitting
crookedwhimsy: I made this tiny tote extra for my swap partner using colorful scraps and recycled denim. I am hoping it will be useful for carrying her Bible or books, as she's an avid reader. I have just one more extra to make, and then your package will be ready to

crookedwhimsy: Good Morning! Being trapped in the house during #winterstormjonas allowed me to finally finish piecing my mini. Woo hoo! Now the question is...how do I quilt this? Any suggestions? Quilting is definitely not my strength, so I'm stumped about how to
crookedwhimsy: Unicorn for Rainbow Mini Swap
crookedwhimsy: I'm taking full advantage of some sewing time today while my little one hangs out with my husband before he goes back to school full-time. I'm not typically into unicorns, but this is such a fun pattern. And, partner, if you're not into unicorns either,
crookedwhimsy: I know you love rainbows, partner. But how do you feel about unicorns with bright rainbow manes? Just playing around with a few ideas and sewing for the first time in months...a much-needed and welcome distraction. #rainbowminiswapr2 #rainbowswapr2give

crookedwhimsy: I received a second package, which was a stack of lovely #heatherross scraps from @oneofthetribeofjennifers. She wanted to thank me for hosting the #hrminiswap, which wasn't necessary, but incredibly sweet and thoughtful. I missed out on the original M
crookedwhimsy: After a disaster trip to Target with a screaming toddler, I came home frazzled. Before I was a mom, I was the naive person who heard a kid freaking out at the store and wondered why his mom couldn't get him to stop. It can't be that hard, right? Yeah.
crookedwhimsy: She also asked for potholders, so I had fun making these and attempting to match the colors in her kitchen. The center fabric had the sweetest sayings so it worked well for this project. Finally I made a #roadtripcase using Erin Michael's original Lush
crookedwhimsy: Just wanted to share the last of my handmades for my secret sis. She mentioned that she likes to sketch and always carries around notebooks wherever she goes, so I made her a scrappy #QAYG cover for this graph paper journal. #hrminiswap partner, would yo

crookedwhimsy: I forgot to take pictures of everything I made for my secret sister, Nicole @lillyellasworld, but I did snap a photo of this bag I made before I gave it to her. She had something similar in her mosaic, and I was able to find the same butterfly fabric for
crookedwhimsy: Fun handles and lots of bright and colorful hexies on the other side. This is totally me. 😊 #swapaholicsretreat #hexielove #pstessabasket #tradeatoteswap
crookedwhimsy: In the #tradeatoteswap I received this scrappy happy #pstessabasket from @spetzie. I love everything about it: the text background, the perfect fabrics and colors, the cute little #gemologyblock, the hand stitching, and the quilting.
