There’s a growing trend in the stitching world that I’m totally on board with. Super sassy embroidery patterns. I love them! Embroidery has traditionally always been dainty and delicate and polite. Now there’s a new generation of modern stitchers taking this traditional past-time and shaking it up with attitude and cleverness. I had a lot of fun rounding up the very best in sassy and funny embroidery patterns you can make for your home.

I opted to not include anything too offensive or rude. Mainly because that’s just not my style. If that’s your style, then go with it! Make a gallery wall of embroidered f-bombs! You do you. Me? I’ll take a well placed ‘ugh’ any day. 😛
Most of the patterns I’ve linked to are from well-stocked shops with enough sassy patterns to satisfy anyone’s mood. There’s a few freebies in the list too, but to be honest they were very hard to come by. I might have to design one myself I guess!
Here we go, prepare yourself for serious attitude!

Rather than force the kiddos to do page after page of worksheets, I thought some more interactive ideas might be in order. (oh the math puns abound!) I love using everyday items to create a fun learning environment. A. Because then you don’t have to shop around for specialized teaching tools and B. Using items your kids are already familiar with will help them feel like the concepts they’re learning aren’t unattainable.
Young kids learn best through play. (I’m sure I’ve read that somewhere, anyway it sure sounds true!)Â So here are the best play-based math lessons and ideas I could find for teaching elementary math at home!

Once my kiddos caught on that I can make stuff from scratch, they wanted me to be making stuff for them all the time! The most recent request was a tiny sleeping bag for E’s tiny stuffies. lol
But I actually really love that they can have an idea and for the most part I’m capable of executing it. They are also too young to demand perfection, so that’s a win for me.
I always wanted to be a crafty mom and my boys seem to appreciate the homemade projects! For now anyway, the appreciation may dissipate once they’re teenagers.
While a felt squirrel plushie was not so specifically requested, new toys are always welcomed with glee in this house!
Confession time. My drawer of felt scraps is exploding at the seams. I’ve thrown out so much good felt in the past because I just didn’t know what to do with it! It breaks my heart to think about it. I’m in desperate need of new ideas for using up my felt scraps so that they don’t either go to waste or take over my whole studio! To that end, I rounded up 24 super cute crafts to make with felt scraps here for us all to benefit from.

I do use felt scraps for stuffing plushies, but I find it very dense. So it’s only good for small projects or mixed with some polyfil. If you have a great post or idea for using felt scraps, let me know! I’m always on the lookout for new ideas!
I think the multi-coloured roses at the end of the list is a particularly clever way to use up felt scraps since most of us probably have a ton of multi-coloured scraps rather than a drawer full of a single colour.
Hold the press, these are the cutest! Make a little parade of adorable campers with this DIY felt caravan garland pattern! This is a great project for using up felt scraps, which let’s be honest we all have too many scraps. These cutesy trailers would be so fun as DIY decor for a nursery or playroom. Make one or make a million!

This is a really versatile little pattern, with imagination you could use it for a number of different projects! Off the top of my head this caravan could be a pincushion, keychain, ornament, or stitched flat in an embroidery hoop with an oh-so-clever “happy camper” embroidered underneath. You could even try enlarging the pattern and making a fun pillow with it!
I used it to make this adorable garland. So cute for a kid’s room or as part of a gallery wall!
