Scrapbook Page Swap

I joined a swap on Splitcoast where each participant sends 6-10 pictures to another person and that person makes pages for you and sends them back.  Below are the pages that I made for another scrapper.  There was a required theme of "stars and stripes".  Enoy!

 

My 1st Article of Clothing!!!!!

Ok, so I was at JoAnn's and they had all their sewing patterns on sale for $1.  I thought....hey, this would be a good time to try to make a skirt.  That way if I didn't succeed, I didn't lose a lot of money right.  So I bought the fabric and went to it.  I had some trouble with the hem because of the shape of the skirt, but with some help and pointers from my wonderful MIL, we were able to get it done.  I am wearing it to work today!  I really like it and I am so proud that I made it!!!  :-o

Summer Table Runner

I made this fun "summerish" table runner for myself.  I just love the big daisies and it turned out great!!  I wasn't too sure on the fabrics prior to sewing together, but I think it looks perfect for summer!  I will think twice about using stripes in the future as it was a challenge to get them to line up.  :-)

Happy Birthday Sheila!

A good friend of mine celebrated her birthday recently so I decided to make her a bag.  Unfortunately, I liked it so much I wanted to keep it.....but I didn't.  Isn't it great!  I found some new polka dot fabric for the sash and it looks wonderful!

My Summer Bag

Well after making all these bags for others, I decided it was time to make myself a new summer bag!  As you all know, I am a big fan of pink!  I LOVE IT!!!

Pot Pinchers

Last week I went to dinner with some ladies from the quilt shop and of course after dinner was over, I had to do some shopping.  I bought this cute pattern for "pot pinchers"(oven mitt).  Below is the first one I made, I have many others in progress.  Isn't it cute!

Cricut Scrapbook Page Swap

I joined a swap on SplitCoast and the requirement was that you had to use a Cricut to make a 12X12 2-page layout.  Below is the layout I made last night, I really like it!  I just love the zebra and giraffe!!!  So cute!
