Quilts

Here are a few quilts that my Mom made, the one with the houses she has hanging from her quilt rack in her living room. The other 2 are not finished yet, they are just the tops for now. The purple one is for my sister. She has made a lot more but sold them. They are lap quilts, not full size quilts. Still need to find a green material so she can make one for me.

Handmade Presents

These are two presents that I made for Mom for Christmas. I bought a pillow from ebay that resembles the one that I made and I also bought a sheep like this one at a yard sale this summer. Just used them as patterns and altered them to the way I wanted. I think they both turned out great.

Last Snowman

Finally got this guy done yesterday. He took awhile to make, between all the pieces and waiting for him to dry. I've started letting the pieces dry by themselves rather then baking them as I like the way they turn out by doing that. I did have to cut the candy cane down as the one in the pattern came out almost as big as the snowman himself. Don't know what happened there. He is packed away and ready for next year though.

New bowls

Just wanted to share with you all the new mixing bowls that I got at Wal-Mart yesterday . They were on clearance for $11.00 but I had a $10 gift card that I got somewhere so I only paid $1.00 for them. Also got some garland and some wrapping paper for next year. The garland is the bendable kind and was .45 the paper was a 4 pack for $1.70, so I bought 2 packs of that. They did not have much left.

Bright Idea

Found this on the internet while searching one day. What a great way to use up old jars. Just paint and add candles. Think I will make some for those summer nights when we are sitting out back.

sheep

A couple of sheep that I made. The one with the flag I did awhile ago but I gave it a tea bath yesterday. The other one just needs a hanger added to it yet.

Happy New Year

Hope you all have a Happy & Healthy New Year. We did not do anything last night except stay home and watch the ball drop. Now that the holidays are over I hope to get back to crafting and getting some stuff done. I will be working on some things that I have cut out but haven't found the time to finish until today. So hopefully later today or tomorrow I can finally show you all something again. Took all the holiday decorations down last week so that is done and over with and the house looks empty once again. It is snowing outside again today, another 2 to 4 inches for today on top of the 2 inches we got yesterday. I am so ready for summer, give me 80 degree weather any day. Have a Happy New Year everyone, make it a good one.
