Hello there!

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

Follow @thatcraftycara on Instagram!

I like to plant sunflowers around the fourth of July so that I have some that bloom during the autumn! This is a little two-foot-tall variety that is just adorable in my herb garden! I love all the pollen that it's dropped on its leaves. The bees stay busy with this one! Anyone else have some sunflowers? °•°•°•°•° #sunflower #autumn #yellow #happy #garden #gardening #inthegarden #nature #flowers #diy #thehappygardeninglife #growyourown #urbangarden #plants #plantsofinstagram #plantsmakepeoplehappy #plantsplantsplants

Saw this little guy getting the last bits of lavender goodness before autumn hits in full force. I almost feel bad that I need to harvest the lavender...😬 (Really should have harvested it a while ago...I always forget!) °•°•°•°•° I love watching my garden start to fade to autumn, even though it means lots of the not-fun work to rip out the dying plants and try to nip any weedlings before they get a chance to hibernate and surprise me, come spring. 🤬😅 °•°•°•°•° Not a lot of sewing going on due to the start of school and the need to clean out the garden, but garden-cleaning is the signal that Hardcore Crafting Season™ can begin! Anyone else gardening right now? °•°•°•°•° #savethebees #honeybee #lavender #autumn #purple #thehappygardeninglife #garden #gardening #inthegarden #nature #flowers #diy #growyourown #urbangarden #plants #plantsofinstagram #plantsmakepeoplehappy #plantsplantsplants

I've had some new followers lately (thank you! ☺️), so I thought I'd post a little reintroduction...hi! I'm Cara, and I like to make things, mostly from fabric and yarn. °•°•°•°•° I'm a married, stay-at-home mother to four children, and you haven't seen much of me this summer because I decided to try my hand at giving my kids an epic summer break, which took up all my crafting time. It was a good decision. 🥰 °•°•°•°•° School starts next week and I'll find myself with more time to craft, and I'm excited to get back into my craft room! I've been obsessively researching a new creative direction, and I'm chomping at the bit to finally get working on it! 🤗🤗🤗 °•°•°•°•° This next school year is going to be a little crazy because my children are getting older and busier with activities, and my youngest asked if he could be homeschooled this year, so...that's happening, too. 🤪😆 °•°•°•°•° I'm looking forward to sharing some projects with you, soon! Welcome, new friends, and thank you, old friends, for your encouragement and support! I love IG's creative communities so much! See you soon! °•°•°•°•° #introduction #selfie #hello #crafting #craftymom #sahm #homemaking #calledtobecreative #makersgonnamake #homeschooling #homeschool #backtoschool #notbacktoschool #knitting #tricot #knittersofinstagram #knitstagram #knittingofinsta #ravelry #yarn #sewing #couture #costura #nähen #सिलाई #cucire #縫い #仕立て #шитье

I finished my first dress! (And it is fantastic for twirling!) 😍 °•°•°•°•° I don't like to post about a finished dress right before I wear it to #church because it feels a little like, "Hey church friends! Notice me at church today!" So you're getting very-quickly-done shots from my driveway when we got home. (I also know I won't post about this dress if I don't do it TODAY/the first time I wear it. Rushed shots are better than no shots! 👍 °•°•°•°•° The fabric is a lovely stretch sateen from @teliofashion, purchased from @stylemakerfabrics while I was at @sewexpo this year. The bright yellow bias binding is @konacotton "Citrus." °•°•°•°•° The bodice is straight-up just my sloper bodice (McCalls 7279) after all the necessary fitting, attached to the box-pleat skirt of the Emerald Faille Party Dress in #gertiesultimatedressbook by @gertie18. I bound all my raw edges, and freehand cut some keyholes in the sleeves, and I love, love, love this dress so crazy freakin' much! 😍😍😍 Woo hoo for finally finishing #caraslemondress!!! 🍋🍋🍋 °•°•°•°•° #sewing #sew #sewingproject #sewingaddict #sewinglove #sewcialists #clothing #modestclothing #dress #partydress #dressmaker #dressmaking #dressoftheday #dresslover #midi #mididress #creative #diy #diyproject #finish #finished #learning #calledtobecreative #makersgonnamake #lemon #navy
