Warm Woolies!


Hi Friends! Me again. hehehe I know I've been quiet and now I'm dumping three posts in a row. LOL
Well, what can I say I got inspired. :)
Here I have a pair of warm woolie mittens that I sewed.  The blue wool is from an old felted sweater and then I had some brand new soft grey fleece that I cut out and sewed inside.  They aren't shaped perfectly, but they are very warm and at least I'll know what is left and what is right! LOL


Here is a pic of the beautiful sunshine we saw a couple of days ago.  It's been so overcast most of the time that the sunshine is very much enjoyed!  Hope you all enjoy the last moments of this year.  :)


A Quaint Little Set


Hello! I've another sweet little set to share with you all.  It's made with another set of images from Ephemera's Vintage Garden.  I think these sunflower and chicken images are so quaint.  I love the overlapping stamping.
I used some sweet My Mind's Eye papers and some satin black ribbon.  They're simple but will be easily mailed.
Enjoy peeking at them. Hope you have a wonderful crafty day!




A Lovely Set


Hello Crafty Friends!  I must say that I truly enjoyed making some cards again.   I had printed out these delightful images form Ephemera's Vintage Garden awhile back and am just now using them.  they're so beautiful and if you have the time to pop over and check out the wonderful things she creates!  HERE! 
I created a lovely little set of cards that I'll give as a gift sometime.  Hope you enjoy scrolling down to look at them.
I'm sharing them with Word Art Wednesday this week.




Hope you have a lovely day! as this year comes to a close.

Crocheting Sewing Moments

Hi Ladies!
Sorry to say I've not been doing much card making lately.  But I have been doing lots of other things. I found a flannel duvet and made it into sheets for my boys beds.  I made an apron for baking.  Then I made a baby girl blanket with some leftover yarn in my stash.  I'm not expecting but thought it would be fun...now I have to find someone who needs one. :)  Then today just for fun I made myself a hat so I'd have an extra incase my regular one gets too wet to use.  I made one just like it for a friend and liked the pattern so much I decided to use the same one.


My daughter says the blanket reminds her of Neapolitan ice cream. LOL  The pictures for some reason didn't pick up the pink very well.  It's much deeper in person.


I had just enough brown yard to make the scalloped edge.



And yes, this is me. I dislike pics of myself, but thought I might as well model this because it's mine.


I had my sweet daughter model this for me tonight.  It's called a newsboy hat.  The yard is acrylic and wool so it'll be nice and warm for outings this winter.



I think I'll be sharing this hat also... everyone seems to like it. :)

Thanks for dropping by! I haven't forgotten about all of you and pray that you are enjoying your crafting time.  The Lord has been keeping me busy caring for my family and I am enjoying it very much!  I absolutely love being a mom and homemaker.

Have a beautiful day!

A Set from Bits of This and That


Hi Crafty Friends! Today I have a set of cards to share with you that I've created for my sweet Mother-in-law for her birthday.  They are all simple, and yet I hope she finds them charming. Sorry the light off to the left of the pics is a bit bright, but that's all I had at the time.  All of the cards are made with misc sentiment stamps that I dug out of my stash, and bits of this and that. All the card bases are by Mind's Eye.
Life has been so full of wonderful things.  I shall share some of my children's creations at some point that we've been working on.  I love that my girls are so creative, and we can share my crafty spot.  The Lord has been SO good to me!  Each day holds a treasure and I'm so glad that the Lord is constantly teaching us through His Word and that we are able to be able to serve him in all that we say and do.
Praying that you are all well.  Do take a couple minutes to scroll down and check out the cards that I put together.  If you also have an extra minute do let me know what one is your favourite. :)
