A Mother's Dream...

With Mother's Day fast approaching (where does time fly??)... what are you planning to handmake this year?

I'd like to share with you, one of my most favourite designs of all and one that will surely be loved by any Mum.

A Mother's Dream
finished size: 18" x 18"
(pattern only)

Add this gorgeous cushion & it's bonus diary/journal cover to your Mother's Day gift list. Perfect for birthdays, just because I Love You & even for that special occasion - Mother's Day...

Flannel Flower Delight...

Rich brown soil to plant and grow...
Lush green grass to tickle my toes...
Sprinkles of blue water to kiss the earth...
Colourful delights that please my eyes...

author: Darlene Carroll

Doesn't that just sound delightful to the ears?

It's how I describe the latest design I'm working on for Snickerdoodle Dreams... rows of gorgeous squares using soft, dusty pastel colours with pretty flowers to form a garden maze.

I took a step away from cotton this time and am using flannels and chenille... so yummy to work with even if bits of fluffy cream bits float all over my table... hehe

Just to tempt you with a sneek peak of this yummy quilt... here's some colourful delights that please the eye...


It's time to head back to stitching table...

take care - have a gorgeous day filled with creative stitches & inspiration

Snickerdoodle Dreams - Our Patterns

Ok... am just wading my way through my ever growing to-do-list... but just want to let everyone know that I've added a beautiful pictorial preview of our patterns.

If you take a peek at the bottom toolbar you'll see - SDreams Pattern Gallery - this opens up a beautiful gallery showcasing our designs.

WHIMSICAL & PRIMITIVE temptations for you to put together... Based on the graphical designs of Heather Paige and Darlene Carroll... Projects that are perfect for a framed treasure, stunning wall hangings, comfy cushions or snuggled under the warmth of a handmade quilt. What better way to spend the day ~ in a comfy chair with a needle, thread & your favourite project in hand.

This is just a tempting start... there are so many more patterns/quilts in various stages of completion (from the drawing board to the pattern writing stage) just waiting to find their way to you... so much gorgeousness to...

"Plant Smiles & Grow Giggles"


take care - wishing you a beautiful day filled with creativity & inspiration

A Lesson About Patience...

March 01, 2010

Most of my break has been spent renovating. Not a real home but our new cyber home for Snickerdoodle Dreams. Let me tell you...
WOW - it's just as frustrating as a real home. You have to learn about PATIENCE and even more PATIENCE!! Not everyone works when you want them to work. Oh and when things go wrong and you're asking for techno help.... well... you guessed it.... PATIENCE!!

Snickerdoodle Dreams is going to be home to our patchwork/stitching/quilting designs and graphics/digital scrapbooking.

Our store is
READY... I'm just waiting to get the security settings up and running to my satisfaction... Who would have thought that something so simple and easy to install would cause the most techno complications... I thank everyone for their PATIENCE but I really feel that getting the security settings right before opening the store - is for your protection & mine.

I will let everyone know as soon as possible when the store is open.

Nearing Launch Date...

January 21, 2010

Our new online home is nearly ready. Who would have thought that online renovations are just like renovations with a regular home.... LOL! Just ironing out a few more minor details before the big reveal, but you are more than welcome to see our new home page. We'll keep you updated as soon as possible about the store opening! Thank you for all your patience and understanding while I get the new Snickerdoodle Dreams site ready!

Here's a sneek peek of our brand new Snickerdoodle Dreams website... with lots of new (& old) goodies to delight not only the graphic & digital crafters, but also our stitchers/quilters...
