Hand embroidery has been a passion of mine for a long time now. I feel like at this point I have stitched on almost any surface I could (including an actual pumpkin one year!) I like pushing myself and my creativity to see what I can do with a needle and thread. The satin stitch […]

I love to travel and I also love to collect and keep little tokens from my travels, but I struggle with where to keep everything! I found the perfect box from Walnut Hollow. It’s technically a ‘Card Keeper’ box but I saw the potential in it and it was perfect for this project. I also […]

Editor’s Note: Meghann Halfmoon of Halfmoon Atelier taught a workshop at our last Craftcation: Business & Makers Conference based on the tutorial and her pattern below.
