New Blog Home

Hi!   If you’re looking for me, you can now find me at craftination.wordpress.com. Eventually, I will delete this blog, but I know that people regularly come here for my free patterns. I will give everyone a few months to switch their links and then will delete, delete. :)

Spring Links

I was working on a list of interested craft projects to share with my local Girl Scout community and thought that I might as well share my favorites here too.  Most of my comments might be Girl Scout related, but most of these I might try to do with my daughters in the next few [...]

Sewing pretty

My mother-in-law very generously gifted our household with a new sewing machine over the Christmas holidays. It’s a beautiful Janome Magnolia and I love it dearly. I made a quick cover for our newest addition as my first project of the New Year. First, I have to show off Maggie. What do you think? I

Merry Christmas

My lovely daughter performed at her music school’s winter recital last weekend.  Here’s a video of her playing Jingle Bells along with her instructor. I have been crafty, just working with a broken camera has been frustrating.  I hope to start fresh with posts and such soon, so don’t give up on me y

In my adventures to hot glue eyes to Grim Reapers, I have discovered that somewhere between high and [..

Why Skinned Knees?

What kind of name is Skinned Knees?? I was trying to think of a cute blog title that involved my name, Tiffany.
