It’s time for my new Tuesday series where I take Time Out from my blog to share this space with guest bloggers. This week I’m excited to feature another local bloggy friend, Tanya from Frou Frou Britches. Can you believe we met over the blogosphere and have not met in person, yet? We live about 30 minutes away from each other but sometimes that feels like the other side of the world. Shame on me! We are trying to hook up soon and I can’t wait to hug her neck. She has the sweetest spirit. I think you’ll see that for yourself…take it away Tanya!

Hello Carmella and Carmella’s bloggy friends. I’m Tanya, from FrouFrouBritches (yes, there is an “r” in that last word). I’m so glad that Carmella has invited me over to share a few of my little projects with y’all today. I’m VERY excited to meet y’all. Sit down, have a piece of virtual coffee cake (let’s have whip cream on top too since it’s virtual and we don’t have to worry about the calories) and coffee or sweet tea and let’s talk. Shall we?

Okay, so as I said, my name is Tanya. I’m wife to a wonderful, sweet husband and mother to four sweet little monkeys. I love to craft, cook and sew. So, today I thought I would share a few of my sewing projects.

My latest project was for my front door. I’ve been looking for something different (bye-bye burlap wreath) for spring. I’ve seen such adorable Easter decorations all over blog land. I settled on my version of big hanging carrots for my front door, out of burlap, of course. So, what do you think? I love how they turned out. See the tutorial here.

I do a lot of sewing for my daughter. This is my favorite. Well, at least today it’s my favorite. By the way, pay no attention to the dead plants in the background. I have a black thumb. I kill every plant that comes within 2 feet of me.

I also love to make baby gifts…

and I have a little bit of an obsession for kitchen towels, especially for the holidays. This is one I made for Christmas. I think I see a bunny towel in my very near future!

Thanks so much for having me Carmella!

Thanks for sharing, Tanya. You always have the most adorable ideas! Tanya also has an ETSY store where she sells her creations. I hope she doesn’t mind me giving a shout out.
