Cute Journals


So for YW last week I had my Beehives make some cute Back-to-School journals. Pretty easy and lots of fun. Here is one that I made!

My sweet man just had knee surgery, and when your self employed it's the pits. So to help cover some of the medical cost, I'm selling some of the blankets I've made. They are all new, and never been used. All are hand crafted. The rag blanket measure approx. 38 x 38 inches and is made of flannel. I feel in love with the sweet little animals. $75. The white crocheted blanket is approx. 30 x 40 inches, made with yarn, simply precious. $75. I also have posted 2 flannel blankets both crocheted around the edges, with a matching burp cloth. They measure approx. 45 inches square. The blue has a darling matching polka dot, and the pink has a precious matching green stripe. $35 a set. Please email me if your interested! Thanks!

O.K. so it has been awhile. My goal to keep a blog of crafts going is a lot harder to accomplish than I thought. Maybe after girl's camp, things will slow down just a little bit. This is a quilt I made for my nephew. I learned a lot of new things making this quilt. It is my third quilt I pieced. I drew the animals on muslin then stitched around them with brown thread. I love how it turned out, and need to try this one again. Although I did make a lot of mistakes, it's truly one on my favorites thus far. I hope little fro enjoys it to the fullest!

Marseilles Dress SHABBY APPLE GUEST GIVEAWAY!!!!

Look what's blooming!

OK girls here are just a sampling of some of the flower clips I have made!

These are my big clips and are each about 4''

Some close ups of some big clips, sorry some of them are turned wrong!


A set of my medium clips! Great for pig-tails!


My small clips! I have some with ribbon and some without ribbon on the clip. This size is super cute on lil' babies!

Hope you like them! It has become my latest obsession! In fact last night as my sweet hubby was cleaning up the flooded basement (dang storm) I kept myself busy with this now NEEDED ( for my sanity) hobby of mine!

So most of you have seen "Little Monkey" my daughter and I made for her cousin, but he is just to cute not to post . . . What do you think?  I found a great pattern for him from Roxy, they have incredibly cute designs.  I'm so happy that my daughter enjoys crafting as much as I.  I love to see the unique touches that each individual puts into their crafts!  I've been working on a quilt for my new little niece, I'm excited to try free motion machine quilting for the first time on it.  I have made a couple quilts in the past, but always used the stitch in the ditch method.  Hopefully it will turn out O.K.  I will post it in the upcoming week or so, depending on how long it will take to quilt.  Now I'm off to crochet wash cloth's.  This house is in desperate need of new wash cloth's, and thanks to my GG I love crocheted wash cloth's.  In fact once I get a few done I think I will offer a give away . . . . . My sanity is slowly returning, Thanks Mom, Sissy's and friends, I couldn't have made it through this week without your encouraging words of kindness.

O.K. so I found this quilt on some blog - I wish I could remember - anyway I love it!  I have no pattern, but I'm going to have to figure one out because this one is to cute to pass on.  I also am posting a picture of a fun little monster I made for my sweet little nephew.  I'm thinking either Wednesday or Thursday for our craft day, let me know what you think.  Embrace today!
