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

I made at my retreat, while on vacation...

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.

All color coordinated perfectly too

I meet a Blogger Friend

 I got to meet Shirley C and her husband Clay

They come to the Dallas airport to pick up family

And we got to have a lovely Olive Garden dinner

It was so nice to meet her in person as

We have so many things in common

What started out with us owning Pommies

Ended up we both love to sew and embroidery

I am on the left and Shirley is on the right

She brought me these lovely gifts

How did she know I love angels

Her embriodery is so lovely

All packed in this lovely jeweled bag

The glass angel now adorns

My window letting the sun shine thru

Shirley I had the best time

Meeting and talking with you and Clay

And so hope when you travel thru again

We can meet for dinner too

Hugs my blogland friend

Nap Time! in Kindergaten

My granddaughter is a new Kindergarten student this year..

So I got to make her a nice sheet and blanket set

For her mat to use at nap time..

I love making my grandkids stuff,

but rarely have and occasion to do so.

So this was a real treat for me.

The set is a little girly

Ruffles and all

Since she lives up north I made hers from

Fleece and added a pocket

To the back side for her little feet to go in

Toasty she will be

I made two blankets so when

One is home to be washed

she still has another for school

All in coordinating colors

I bought another matt

And made another sheet

Because soon Brother will

Be off to Kindergarten too

And I will have what I  need to make

Him a set all his own

I cannot wait!!

Happy School year to my little

Kindergarten Girl

Grandma DeeDee

Altered Art Pages

I went and had a full body message...

Man was I feeling great...

(I really needed that)

I come home to relax and

Next thing ya know I am dabbling..

I started with a little card board and

Moved to bigger card boards.. 

In Art Group this month we are going

To be doing transfers and needed some base pages..

I must say I loved what I come up with...

Check them out

I started with ATC sized

And used a pretty napkin I had

This is the back side

I will use gesso on this to tone it down and apply

A graphic over the top

Then I moved to bigger cards board

I used paints, and tape, a pen

Distressed it alot

this one also has a white napkin

In the center to overlay a graphic on it.

The back side I left plain to play with in class

Then I did this music sheet page

I will also layer a graphic on this one

And the backside plain for playing more

My favorite page using my pretty napkin

The teacher Susan had this fun stamp set

And she let me borrow it

I love them all

And the backside all pretty too

My second favorite one is this journal page

I will overlay a graphic in the lower right corner

This next one is especially made for my graphic overlay

Thats what out next class will teach

The transfer of graphics

Please visit Susan at Artful Musings and see her wonderful work

I will be tearing up my Victorian Trading magazine

To adorn these pages.

I hope some of you are still following along on my garbage disposal book

With me.. these will go in there when done

Those visiting for the first time check it out

Garbage Disposal Journal Here

I certainly had a fun relaxing evening doing these pages

I have a few others in the works and will show you them

Happy Creative Crafting
