Fabulous Photo Puzzle

As I was packing for our move I came across a puzzle tin that had been a Christmas gift a few years ago. As a surprise, my mom had a picture of my husband (then boyfriend) and I made into a puzzle. It was such a fun gift! Not only did we enjoy putting the puzzle together, but it was of us!

This idea got me thinking two different, exciting, thoughts!

1. You could take a picture of your quilts or craft masterpieces and have them made into puzzles! That way you could enjoy putting your work-of-art together over and over again and this time your family could help!

2. You could take pictures of your children, entire family, or favorite vacation destination and have them made into puzzles. Then your children could put together puzzles of themselves or places they have seen. Why put together a random landscape, when the landscape can be yours?



Just some creative thoughts! I know that I will totally be taking advantage of this more often as I travel with my husband, for projects in my classroom, and later in life, when we have children of our own.

Here are a list of websites I found that offer photo puzzles! Enjoy!

Moving A Sewing Room

My amazing husband and I just bought our first HOME!!!!
That huge change is what sparked this next quilter-on-the-go blog post. 


Moving a sewing room can be a daunting task, but Sterilite show-off storage can work miracles! Plus it is currently 50% off at Joann Fabrics! I stocked up and stowed away. All of my projects, stash, UFOs, and tools are safely stored in hard plastic containers, with snap-on lids, and transparent sides. It will make moving and organizing our new house a breeze. Plus, I can keep all of the items stored and find them easily whenever I have the time to get crafty! It's awesome!

Small: Perfect for UFOs

Medium: Perfect for tools
Large: Perfect for stash storage
