Guest Posting at Young and Crafty

Good morning, ladies! Guess what? Hannah from Young and Crafty is a dear and is letting me visit.I'm sharing a tutorial for one of my favorite projects. Come on over and see which one made the cut! While you're there, take a look at some of the creative goodness that girl dreams up. (Pst! She's the reason I auditioned for So You Think You're Crafty!)

Guest Post at Cocalores

Hi everyone! I had the pleasure of hosting my first ever guest blogger on Sunday. I hope you loved Anja's tutorial as much as I did! Isn't her stitching absolute perfection?! She was such a doll to return the favor and invited me over to her blog yesterday!

You may have already seen my Lace Earring tutorial, but if not, stop by Cocalores and check it out.

Hope to see you there!

Embroidered Pillowcase by Anja of Cocalores

One of my favorite ladies, who hails from a land far far away (aka Germany), is stopping by as our guest blogger today. I absolutely adore Anja's inventive furniture makeovers, crafty projects, and pretty much all of the things she writes about. I hope you'll take a moment to stop by her blog and see what she's all about; I promise you won't be disappointed! Now, let's get this party started...

Hi everyone! My name is Anja and I'm so glad to be here today at Spool and Spoon. You can usually find me over at Cocalores, where I blog mostly about my creative endeavors (which include sewing, baking, and giving new life to old furniture) but also about anything that strikes my fancy. Jess writes one of my favorite blogs, and she is such a sweet and amazing person! (Well, I guess that's preaching to the choir because you as her readers already know this!)

Do you also like reading the About Me page first? Well, here is mine in a nutshell:

• My husband, dog, and job are my everything. Well, that and my creative side.
• I'm German, so you'll always find lots of entertaining mistakes and clichés.
• I'm a redhead, but my go-to accent color is pink. Not always easy to make it work.
• My vices include coffee, chocolate, ice-cream, and lots of DVDs. Preferably at the same time.

I like pillowcases. There's nothing like a cute pillowcase to change the look of the room. So I'm going to share with you an easy embroidery and sewing project!

Yes, there's pink, but you can choose any color ;-)
