Latest trial and error project

 

While checking out some you-tube

video’s I came across one that

made butterflies from silk flowers.

I knew there were some old

ones in a tote in the shed…checked

it out…came up with some that would

sort of be like the video showed.

Anyway, these were the result of my

first attempt with what I had on hand.

 

“For Baby” cards

 

 

 

The other day I decided

to see if I could create

some baby type cards.

After doing some research on

the computer I found several baby

patterns…of course I had to do

some changes to suit my taste.

 

It was fun working with such tiny

prints and patterns.

 

 

There is only one person at this

time I plan on giving one of these

cards to along with the gift.

 

 

 

Cute colorful diaper.

 

 

 

 

 

Pretty in Pink

 

 

 

A new star  - bouncing baby boy

 

 

 

 

Never to young to wear pearls.

 

 

 This is more for a one-two-three year old instead

of a baby.

So tiny…

 

 

 

Walk close to God for his protection.

  Card is for Millie – granddaughter’s 3rd birthday. Tilda is this pretty child’s name – one of the “My Girls” theme cards.

Stormy and Tramp – my furry assistants.

Valentine cards - 2012

This is the general design

for the

Valentine cards made

so far.

 

The background of the

cards is really

red – on this screen it

looks orange though.

 

Still learning different techniques.

May not be great in this hobby

but

“I am having lots of fun!”

A Bunny Make-over

Last year after Easter

I checked out the sale items at

Hobby Lobby. Seems like

everything was 75% off.

Found this bunny rabbit…I

liked the cuteness and

different style.

 

However, when unpacking she/he

this year I was not found of the

drab colors of the accessories.

 

Took away the scarf, details on the base, and the ribbon on the hat.

 

Went on a chase through my sewing stuff as

well as my artificial flowers to add

some color and pizzazz.

 

Added a hand-made flower to the ears – already

looking better.

The straw hat got a band of chartreuse

rick-rack and a button flower.

Added some purple buttons down the

tummy line.

Decided with these it has to be a

girl bunny.

 

This shows the changes

some what better.

Thought about placing Miss Barbie Bunny

here….

However, decided I like her better

between the tall skinny bunnies.

 

How did you decorate your bunny rabbits

this year?

If I were rich…

 

 

 

 

 

 

I would have fresh flowers all the time.

We received these from our Sunday School

class this past Sunday.

I took an unexpected trip

to the ER by ambulance on Thursday night.

Leon had a throat procedure on Friday.

Northing serious for either of us.

 

 

We are truly blessed as this could have been bad news.

 

I saw no sense in separating these flowers

into a yellow bunch and still another red bouquet…just put them together.

Used the red candles from Valentine decorations

in the yellow candle sticks

( a recent purchase from Goodwill. Left some of the rest of Valentine

items to complete the look.
