Candy Wreath

The ladies from our church got together and did a little crafty project. We made a candy wreath. I enjoyed it so much I made another when I came home. Check them out.



It is really easy to make these. If you are interested the directions are HERE.
I gave mine away the next day so I wouldn't eat it all.

Magnets Part Two.

I LOVE photo gifts. There are so many options out there these days. I bought more of those glass beads only bigger ones this time. I tried putting photos underneath and they just seems distorted SO...I compromised and decoupaged the photos on the top and stuck a magnet on the back. I made a ton of these last night while sitting in front of the T.V. I am only showing you the ones of my kids. Aren't they cute?

Meet My Girls...

I am so excited about these. I made them as Christmas gifts for some of the younger girls in my life. I think they are the sweetest things. I forget how much I paid for the clothespins but I think it was a couple of bucks for 30. I also bought a heavy duty craft glue that works on practically everything. It was also a few bucks. The fabric for the clothing was scraps I had from old stained up clothing. I used paint for their faces. I tried using sharpie markers but it bled a lot and that annoyed me so I painted the sweet little faces on.

If you are interested in making your own they are simple. There isn't really a method, though. I think you have to apply your own style. I spent a lot of time looking up these dolls on line and they are all dramatically different. If I get around to it I plan on making a doll pouch for the girls. Of course I will post photos.

Thursday 13....Crafty Books.

Here is a great list of craft books that I want to use. I haven't had a chance to look at them all but I have borrowed a few from the library. I would like to own them so I can make notes and what not. Let me know if you have read any and what you think.



























Thursday Thirteen

New Furniture!!!

My neighbor gave me the nicest piece of furniture. I am so excited about it. I can't wait to get sewing. He does remodeling in nice homes. Someone was going to throw this out and he saved it. Yippy for me. Hopefully I will get it all organized and will get to post new projects later this week. I am already working on a few. Plus, I am going back to my Mom's next week and you know what that means..... Lots of sewing/crafting.

Please ignore the 1970's paneling in our basement.
