Good morning Cutties. I'm adding my paper cone wreaths project to my garden. When I saw this beautiful project on the net, I had to try it. I used old books, magazines, and scrapbook paper that I had. It took me a little while to understand the technique
This is the place where you can show off, right? (lol) This past Xmas I made over 20 beautiful father Xmas for our community Xmas fair. On some, I added an embroidery design on the coat. Never thought I would love my embroidery machine as much as I do. S
Crochet Potholder In the 70s, my mother-in-law taught me how to make these potholders. She did not have a name for it. So I looked up "wiggly" pot holder on the net. And there they were. While watching Downton Abbey this week, I made these. They are

This is my attempt at making corners. This gorgeous little cat with butterflies was a freebie on Kreative Kiwi, based in New Zealand. I've embroidered this little cat on card stock for a card. Turned out beautiful. I've included the link.
Teddy Bear. On this teddy bear, I embroidered the cutest freebie daisy designed by sweet heirloom. I added a little fabric flower for the necklace. I covered the flower center button with the same fabric.
Today, I've made myself a promise. I will get rid of most of my scraps before attempting a new project. I decided to make scrappy blocks and put them nice and neat in a pizza box. My pizza box should hold up to a 16" X 16" block. This way the blocks wi
I was asked to come up with an inexpensive idea for our ladies night workshop. I chose to do a table centerpiece "top hat". I did not invent the idea, I saw something similar on the net. (Just love the net) Everyone went home with their own creation. I
