Hello!
.
My name is Lanita. No, of course that isn’t really picture of me! His name is Spag-Eddy the sock monster (spaghetti because of the hair and he is a chef, get it?) and he is just one of my many crazy creations!
.
I’m just a girl who likes to collect fabric and yarn, sew, stitch, embroider, crochet, knit, and craft as a hobby. These are some of the things that give me immense pleasure and relaxation when I am not working.
.
On this blog I will share some of my thought’s, trials and tribulations, problems and solutions regarding my different sewing and crafting projects.
.
My blog will be very informal and is intended for an audience of ages 1-100 so everyone can join in the fun! Please if you have a question don’t hesitate to ask. And if you know an answer to someone else’s question they have posted please don’t hesitate to answer it. But above all else, please have fun here!
.
I hope you enjoy reading my blog as much as I enjoy sharing it with you!
. PS P.S. I like Burda Style as much as the next person.

I LOVE your snoopy embroidery. I am going to be a new Grandma in the fall and I wonder where you found the patterns? I really want to make a snoopy baby quilt or some bibs but I have not found any patterns for the actual snoopy part? Can you share where you have found these?
Sure! Some of the designs came from my original Brother Snoopy embroidery machine, and some are from a series of memory cards Brother made for their embroidery machines years ago and both have long since been retired and no longer available from Brother or dealers but can sometimes still be found on ebay if you have the proper equipment to read it.
Most of mine however are from the Dakota Collectible collection and are very recent from the last 2 or 3 years and those are still available from many sources.
Here are a few to get you started looking: Peanuts 1

Hello Lanita, I love you Indiana Jones patches. My new to be 13 yr old
nephew is really into Indy. I can’t seem to find and patches for the hat
and bag I have purchased for him. Do you sell you patches?
I’ve searched the web over, and by far you are the best!
Waiting to hear from you
thanks
Connie
Hi Lanita,
I am going to attempt to make a sleeper for my baby. How many yards of fabric should I purchase? Also, what fabric is usually used for the trim on the neck and sleeves? Where can I get a pattern?
Any help is appreciated! Thank you
Jennifer,
It takes about 1/2 yard of fabric to make the sleepers that I make. That is for a size 0 to 3 months. I prefer to make sleepers out of knit fabric, but I have seen ones made from flannel as well. The neck binding and cuffs are made from knit ribbing. As far as patterns go, I would check the Kwik-Sew brand for a pattern.
