Hello there!

I'm Cara. Thanks for stopping by! Let's get crafty!

Follow Me on Instagram @thatcraftycara

Have you ever gone to a baseball stadium in your Sunday Best? Excited to hear from our prophet! #followtheprophet #lds #nosebleeds

It's the return of #carcrafting! The line at the elementary is loooong and sloooow...and I always get stuck behind the daycare vans that just. sit. and block the entire line from leaving until they collect their very last kid. (Can't we just have them pick up kids in the bus line?!) #itsgoingtobealongyear #butaproductiveone °•°•°•°•° The leaves turning colors and my trip to Churchmouse Yarns last week have my knitting fever kicked up a few notches at the moment. I can't wait to finish this little sweater so I can move on to a couple of projects that have me pretty excited. °•°•°•°•° Anyone else starting new projects soon? °•°•°•°•° #knitting #knitstagram #knittersofinstagram #ravelry #fivehourbabysweater #backtoschool #knittingfever

Yeah, they were cute together!!! 💕 °•°•°•°•° Pro #scoutsewing tips: °•°•°•°•° 1. Troop numbers, and anything that needs to line up straight with an adjoining patch: Sew them together first with a close zig zag stitch that matches the background fabric to create one big patch. (ie. The entire set of troop numbers became one patch) Then you don't have to worry about them shifting like you have to while trying to sew them on individually. °•°•°•°•° 2. Clear thread on top, shirt color thread in the bobbin--I'd never done that before, but the patch seamstress was in the Scout Shop this time I visited and she said that's what she does for all the shop sewing. WAY FASTER. °•°•°•°•° 3. Put your #freemotionquilting skills to use! Use the darning foot on your machine, lower the feed dogs, and freehand the stitching of the patches. This lets you avoid the frustration of getting stuck like you do with a straight stitch foot when you need to rotate the shirt and there's no way to rotate it because you're working on a sleeve that barely fits over the skinnyfied arm of your machine. °•°•°•°•° Boom. 😉👍 #cubscouts #fatherson #beardenleader #monkeyboybrooke #fmq #sewing #homemaking @boyscoutsofamerica @boyscoutpatches

Back-to-school sewing! 😜 Nathaniel's first den meeting in our new troop is tonight AND Michael just received his new calling: Bear Den Leader! Two scout uniform shirts that need complete patch overhauls! 🤯🤯🤯 °•°•°•°•° I am looking forward to the cuteness, though...hopefully I can power through these so they're done in time. °•°•°•°•° #cubscouts #scouts #sewing #homemaking #noidlehands #speedsewing #lds #beardenleader #monkeyboybrooke
