Crazy Patch Pin Cushions

Along while back I joined a Crazy Patch Pin Cushion Swap with

Bubzrugz with Fiona 

I am the only one left to recieve mine except

I have Sandi's to send off still..

I got it finished at my retreat this past weekend

It has circled the world..

From the states to Australia and back..

And she is ready to go home now.

It come to me like this

And I made it look like this

I added a flower pot with flowers to her block

As soon as I see mine headed home I will send this out

So we are recieving them about the same time

How exciting will that be?

I cannot wait to see mine

I haven't even seen a glimse of it since it left home

I think I am done with swaps for a bit

I am not cut out for them I believe.

Althought Fiona did a great job

As hostess on this one.

Happy Swapping ladies..

We run a little over on our time line.

But it was still fun all the same

Every Year Amy has a crop for Christmas

I love to make the cards she designs

Check out some of our projects

Welcome to my spot

We made two canisters

A Christmas card and a gift card holder

A Christmas Folder (my favorite project)

I was joined by a few friends

Suella and Nancy

Stephanie and her friend

I also made this for my grandson while I was there.

A Pirates Spy Glass

Made from a tin foil box and tube

Suella and I always exchange gifts at this

Since we cannot get together for Christmas

Here is what she gave me

A scrapbook a me loosing my first new car

Pulled right from my blog

I cried I loved it so much

Thanks Suella

I am sure she will feature her gift from me on her blog

I entered it into a challenge that caused

A huge drama session

So I will not be showing it here, Sorry

The drama starter visits my blog

And I don't wanna give more amo to her furry

Thats my rant, I have a online staulker

I thought that only happened to the teens

Guess not..

Anyways.. I hope you all had a wonderful Christmas in July

Infinity Scarves

I seen these on pinterest and decided to give them a whirl...

I made three at the retreat I went to and I just love making them..

I am not a scarf wearer but I might just wear this coral one I tell ya...

So many ways to wear them

My favorite way

And in black too

They fold nice and flat for traveling...

I made these from recycled tee shirts, knit fabric and recycled lace curtains

Who knew such beauty could come from

Such a simple source..

Try your hand playing with some old tee shirts

See what you can create..

Happy Recycling

FNSI Pull Out The Tee Shirts

I had the fun opportunity to work with and recycle some tee shirts.. 

  I did some at

The Little Blue House Scrap Stashers Class 

And I did some for

Friday Night Sew-In at Handmade by Heide

I had a fun time learning the designs at The Little Blue House ,
Some are my own design 
 I also found Some of the others on my new favorite place Pinterest...
come join me there
It is a very fun place to get stuck....  :D

Now on to my fun designs

Little Blue House designs

 

These I made on Friday night

I love how fast they work up

Braided to add to my scraf

Could also be a head wrap

or used on its own

Scarf Style

Love this so much

Add any color broach or pin

Or even a long necklace

This one I showed several wrap options..

Would look awesome with some jewelry too..

And for the wild side.. this with beads

Or Gems or Conchos

You can just do so much with these

Please I have only started with these.. they can be casual or dressed up

For evening wear.. you can even wear them in your hair as a wrap too...

My manni doesn't have a head to show this style...lol..

Whew that was alot uh? 

Well they go along so fast you can make many in no time..

Tommorow I will show you some infinity scarves

Fun Fall Flowers

Have you seen the flower makers by Clover? 

They work similar to the YoYo makers by Clover.. 

We went to my friend Sherri's house to try these out...

I got to make two of them,

 But there are actually about 7 of themI think

In different sizes

Check out the ones I got done.

Just think of a bunch of these together.

The size of these are about 2 inches across

But others are bigger in size

Sherri had this huge box of buttons..

I so want to raid it daily...

I need to add to my collection for these

You can find these on Amazon

They are called Kanzashi Flower Maker

I will make up the others and post a picture for you soon

Enjoy the flowers in the Fall too.
