Two little ornaments....

I made these two ornaments using a pattern I have 

in the Art to Heart book called Sew Necessary.

The pattern is for scissor fobs.

I thought I would using them as ornaments.

Cute eh!

I will use one as a teacher gift.

But the other one I'm keeping.

I was sick yesterday and part of today.

But, I'm feeling better now.

Back to work tomorrow and Sunday.

Have a great weekend.

Hugs

I have a finished flimsy!!! Yeah!!!

Okay, so after having gone a month without sewing,

I finally got my sewing mojo back this weekend.

I finished my Broken Dishes quilt top.

I'm so happy with this quilt top.

I love the fabrics that I chose.

It's Bar Harbor with some other Minick & Simpson prints.

This is a lap size quilt.

I hope you like it.

It feels good to get sewing again.

Now I have to figure out how I will quilt it.

A song to get you in the Christmas Spirit.

My brother Joel is the singer of the Christian band "Capstone".

They are doing a Charity Concert on December 9th in Oakville to gather non-parishable food items for   the Kerr Street Ministries.

Here's a sneak peak of what you will get to see that night.

The video of the song Winter Wonderland.

Performed by my brother Joel and his friend Brad.

I made something!!!!

Hi everyone,

I know it's been a while.

I've been in a rut.

I just couldn't get myself to make anything for a while.

I don't know if any of you have ever been through that. 

I have all these quilts that need to be finished.

But, I just couldn't get motivated to do any sewing.

I've been so, so busy lately.

I've just been too tired and not motivated.

But, today, I went to visit my crafty sister Michele.

I woke her up this morning!!!

Sorry, Michele!!!!

I had brought some of my Christmas Scrapbooking paper,

and my new fiskars circle cutter.

And I made some ornaments for my Christmas tree.

We will be putting our Christmas tree tomorrow.

It was fun to finally get something made for the holidays.

I will try to show up here a bit more often.

Hugs

Hi everyone,

I hope you all had a great weekend.

 I worked all weekend, so I didn't get to play a lot.

Today, I did work on a few scrapbook pages using My Memories Suite v2.

It was a lot of fun.

First, I worked on a Halloween page.

My daughter got all dressed up.

Doesn't she look cute?

You can click on the image to make it bigger.

I made this page with a kit I won from a facebook giveaway.

You can win so many kits for free on the MyMemories facebook page. 

They have lots of giveaways.

This next page, I made with a kit I purchased from MyMemories.com.

This is done using the kit "Dreams of a Boy" by Valentina Creations.

Isn't it cute?

I also made my new blog header with this software.

This software is so versatile.

You can make cards, calendars, order photo albums, make headers and other blog embellishments.

You can make subway art, family trees.....etc.....
