Last week I promised you a gift idea that you can use for all those spring weddings that are coming up!
This is a fun subway art picture. I buy a nice frame to put this in and add a note that they can change out the picture later for one of their wedding pictures when they get them back! Although a lot of the recipients like the subway art and say that they are not going to change it out! :)
One of the two grandkids that I tend is a three year old, so I have been trying to work with him a little bit on learning his numbers and alphabets. I decided that my back door was a great medium to use as a teaching tool! I can use it as a big magnet board and what kid doesn’t love to play with magnets? I decided that we would make it fun with the toads and the “You are “Toad”ally Awesome” saying for positive reinforcement! I love that it is at my back door and all of the grandkids have had a little bit of fun with it and they read that saying every time they leave my house! :) Continue reading
One of the stops that we made on our recent trip was at the Mac Cosmetic Store in Las Vegas! I love going to this store because we only have Mac Counters in Utah, so when I get close to a store I try to make a visit! :)
I love their products and the quality, but they are a little pricey so I feel like I have to be careful when using them and take good care of my products. So when I got home I decided that a new make-up bag and brush holder were in order!
Here are my ideas for my calendar for this month.
Most of these things were just purchased. Not a lot of homemade here this time, but when you can buy cute things that are already made there is no sense in making them, right? I did add my own touch to a couple of the items.
This is a fun little project that I did with a couple of my grandkids a while back and they loved it!
It is a great way to recycle some of those fun fruit snack, cereal or granola boxes! Any fun printed box would work.
I am so excited! I joined a block of the month quilt at Just Sew in Highland, Utah!
I absolutely love the colors and the patterns in this quilt.
The pattern for this quilt is called: Sew Classic Sampler.
This pattern is designed to teach three kinds of piecing (regular, paper and template piecing) as well as a little applique. It is a very stunning quilt and I am SEW excited to be doing this!
These are my first two blocks that I have finished for this month:
Name of this block is: Arbor Window (aka Granny Square)
I have a confession to make… I am a sucker for fresh flowers!
I love them cut and put in vases, I love them out in my yard and garden and I love them in pots and planters!
So when I saw these tulips in the store the other day, I just could not resist! :)
Yesterday we had another one of our sewing classes for Relief Society in my church. I taught them how to put in a zipper and we made these fun zippered pouches!
These are so fun to make and they are a great project to learn how to put a zipper in! This is a beginning sewing class so all of the projects are simple to make. There are a lot of pictures in this tutorial, but do not let that discourage you. These are literally a 15-20 minute project once you have made one and know how to do them! Continue reading
Today I have a fun little Easter Bouquet for you to make.
This is what I made to give to my Visiting Teaching ladies and who doesn’t love to receive a beautiful spring bouquet? Continue reading
