Another great idea for fabric.

Okay, can't help myself, just love these ideas for pieces of left over fabric.

Fabric wrapped around pieces of Styrofoam.

How easy is this?

Love, love this idea !!!

Did I mention how much I just love this idea?
What a great way to use left over scraps of fabric after you have made the quilt.
It also is a great way to incorporate the fabric into the decorating of a room.

These are wooden embroidery hoops in a variety of sizes.

Schools out !!!

Yesterday we had the cousins over for a day of crafts and girly girl stuff.


We started off with making scrapbook pages.



Gabrielle hard at work.

 Our next activity was painting our nails. Where was the camera??? Oh yeah my nails were wet.

If you look closely at our next group of pictures you will see our stunning nails.

Our final activity of the day was making cake pops.

Here is a picture of our first attempt.

Well, they didn't turn our quite like we planned so we call in the expert.
Cousin Sheree came to the rescue and showed us how they really are made.

Hard at work.



Now those are some good looking cake pops.




A good day was had by all.



I am still cleaning chocolate and sprinkles up, but well worth it. We really had a fun day!!













What projects are you working on?

I just love this fabric, it is Martinique by Moda. I know, I love most fabric by Moda. This is going on my bed and I just love all the prints so I kept them large.


I also decided it was time to teach my daughter Amanda how to use the long arm. So I am going to have her make a  simply quilt out of charm packs and then have her quilt it. Wish me luck !!!

Bella Blossom

I really enjoyed creating this purse.
I have made several Blossom Purses but this one has to be my favorite to date. The red blossom just jumps right off this fabric.

My daughter pointed out how long it had been since my last post....

Don't you just love kids, they don't let you get away with anything. My daughter was sure to point out how long it had been since my last post. I figured I better get busy.
I have been quite busy making all kinds of bags, almost done with a Bella Blossom that is so darn cute I am going to hate to give it away.
Here are some totes I have been working on. They are off to Michigan for some much deserving teachers.

Yes, that is my closet door off the track, where is that husband of mine when you need him???

I also made this cute back pack, I added padding and changed it up a bit but I think I still need to tweak it a bit.

As soon as I finish the Bella Blossom I will post it.

Jumping for Joy !!!

Yes, I am jumping for joy, I finally got my website up and running.
I swear it has aged me !!!
I was with another web host and wasn't happy, so I went shopping for new web host and found a cute one.
They are called Cutest Site on the Block. They told me since I had worked with that other web host, (which I will not name but Daddy didn't like them. Ha Ha,) that I should be able to set this site up myself.
Well, I am glad they had the confidence in me..... but I am the creative brain, the one who loves color and fabric not the one who know all the computer tech stuff !!!!
So it took me many months and help from my sister Kathy and my friend Kristin but I am happy to say....drum roll please....
My site is up and running.
Please check it out and let me know what you think
