Making me laugh..

Making and icing cookies always seems like such a great idea until we are 30 cookies deep. Chey and I had fun making these together last night. I spent all my energy trying to squash her artistry into my martha stewart fantasy while she cheerfully made "everything" cookies (every variety of sprinkle on one cookie) - it was a great time.

Burlap / Muslin Tree

So, I've been at it with the hot glue again.
This is the first of three of these trees I'm making.

Rejects No More

 Remember the rejected Cathedral Quilt Blocks? Well - two of them are rejects no more! Now they are a small zippered bag. Ignore the crap sewing in the next picture and just be as happy that I am that two less of these blocks are lounging around in my drawer!

Owls from PawPaws Ties

I saw the tutorial for these on the Etsy shop "AllyAdeney". It was super easy to follow and I'm loving these little guys. After making the necktie pillow for my MawMaw, I had a ton of PawPaw's ties left over and wanted to make something for some of the other family members from them. These were a big hit. I made a couple as pins / brooches and a couple of them were magnets. Cute! The tutorial is here - http://www.etsy.com/shop/allyadeney.

Felt Flowers

I stumbled on DashingEtc's Etsy shop while looking for ideas around felt flowers and LOVED LOVED LOVED what they do with felt. I decided to give it a try. Mine aren't nearly as pretty, and I still haven't decided what to do with them. But, nonetheless - there they are.
