Check it out at my shop!

Everlasting Bouquet


I wanted to put some flowers in this little pitcher,
but didn't want to worry about my kitty getting into them,
and I wanted something that would last.
So I added chenille stems to some crocheted flowers
I'd made, and plopped them in. 
I think I love it!
Might add a few more when I get a chance.
 
Bye for now!

On My Work Table


 Just some pix of my work table this week,
always messy, but in a colorful way.


Also making tiny figures for my next chalet pin,
can you guess what they are for?
I draw them out on fabric 
and carefully cut them out.

Is It a Good Day for a Tea Party?


My latest creation is another fairy tale design, 
this time Alice in Wonderland!
It was a natural to use Alice and the White Rabbit
for a weather house pin,
because you need to know if the weather
will be suitable for a Mad Tea Party!
 

Look for it in my shop!
Bye for now!

Natural Beauty


 Sometimes I forget how pretty hostas can be 
when they bloom!

 I was so thrilled to see this pretty goldfinch
on my clothes line,
let alone get a pic of him!


 And lastly, a shot of the young bunny 
on a cold rainy day.


Bye till Monday!

Shower Curtain Bunting


I found a wonderful vintage shower curtain
a couple of years ago that wasn't usable in the shower
because of damage.
I never had been able to figure out what to do with it,
till I realized I could make it into a bunting.
The plastic material cut very easily.
  
Then I punched holes and sewed 
around the edges with blanket stitch.


Then finally a shell edging.

I just single crocheted across the tops to connect them all
and tada!
I didn't even bother to work in the yarn tails, 
couldn't wait to put it up!

What do you think?

Bye for now!

Come Home Soon


Here is a face I haven't seen in weeks, 
my darling daughter!
We miss her terribly, but at least I know 
that she is having lots of fun,
hiking and going on helicopter rides!
Can't wait till she comes home though.

Thrifty Finds


 Finally got to do some thrifting again,
the pickings have been slim for crafty items lately.
Did find this amazing 70s sewing pattern though,
and a nice hanger I can crochet a cover for.
Just need to get my sewing machine fixed first,
oh well!
Have you found any good thrift finds lately?


Bye for now!

Trying out different layouts for photos.

The Windmills of My Mind

 Sorry about the break, but I've been a bit sidetracked
by cleaning  my studio.
And I finished a new style of pin, a windmill!
I've added little windows, a door and some pretty tulips.
Find it in my shop!

Hope everyone has a great week. 
I know that many will be busy with 4th of July this week.
Bye for now!
