Quick Cards

We had a parcel come a while ago now from the UK full of goodies from the in-laws. There was a little something for everyone. I got an awesome packet of paper flowers. I completely forgot to post it here at the time but came across the pictures the other day.

I have been sitting on some plain/blank cards that I bought from Walgreens. They needed a little something but until now I couldn't figure out what. When I saw the flowers I knew they were the perfect colors for the job.

My daughter and I had loads of fun sorting them into sizes and then mixing and matching them to make pretty combinations. I now have a stash of pretty cards for any occasion that comes along that I may have otherwise been unprepared for.

No Sew Fleece Throws

Hello there, as you can see I have had a little revamp of the blog. Nothing too drastic but I think it looks much better. I am in the midst of sorting out my craft room, it has gotten very out of control to the point I was avoiding going in there to create at all.. I have a few things backed up thankfully to tell you about and show you so I will try not to be too MIA while I tackle this humongous task.

My latest craze seems to be no-sew blankets. I made the kids one each for Easter. I know, I know I completely forgot to post a picture for you guys to see. It was one covered in cats for my daughter and one covered in planets for my son. they were very well received. I also made one for my hubby's birthday back in June. I spotted the most awesome Mickey Mouse fleece at Jo-Ann's. I bought 2 yards and I matched up with a plain blue for the reverse side. I just love them and they are lovely and cosy. I was feeling a little left out but luckily I found the most beautiful peacock print panel to make one for myself too. Now we all have one :-)

Reversible Tote

In one of my regular visits the Jo-Ann's I bought a couple of sewing kits. The colors and patterns caught my eye, they were really pretty and I had a gift in mind for them. My wonderful sewing friend Lucy's Birthday was on the horizon so I finally got around to putting one of them together. It's a reversible tote. There were no different fabrics involved exactly as it was all printed on one sheet. Made for a quick and simple cut out and put together project. It really is pretty, oops said that already didn't I. I am very happy with the finished bag and so was Miss Lucy.
