Playing For You From Our Scented Cottage..

Think what a better world it would be if we all, the whole world, had cookies and milk about three o'clock every afternoon and then lay down on our blankets for a nap.

Sewing Tips...


When basting on one of your sewing projects, thread the needle, but don't cut the thread from the spool. This way you won't have to stop and keep re-threading your needle.

Speaking of thread...to prevent yours from becoming tangled when you are hand sewing, knot each strand separately instead of knotting them together. It sounds to easy but this has really worked for me.

To keep your work area neat and tidy, tape a small bag to your sewing table or work area to get rid of your threads and scraps. When the bag is full, just throw it away and replace with a new one.
