Yesterday I had a little helper here with me after school and so I decided that it would be a good day to make some flower bouquets for Valentines Day. My little helper was very eager to help me especially after finding out the the flowers would be made out of cookies!
Here is my February Calendar. I had a fun with this one because it is all done in red and pink! Two of my favorite colors!
We are starting a beginning sewing class in our Relief Society. That is the women’s organization in our church and I am in charge of teaching it. I am so excited because we have some really fun projects that are for beginners, but they are so cute that I think those that already sew will want to join us too! :)
In our first class we are going to make these darling Maxi Skirts!
(Don’t you love my new dress form? I just got it and I am so excited that I can dress it for my pictures now!)
Do you want to know why this is the best ever Valentines Countdown?
I have been wanting a table runner for my table, but I wanted a square one, not a rectangle one. I had several different pieces of fabric that were red and white, so naturally I decided that I needed to make my table runner. I made it with all my scraps and this whole thing did not cost me any extra money, because I had everything that I needed! Score!
I love how it looks on my kitchen table!
I love these wraps because they are such an easy way to decorate and a pillow can add so much to a room. This is my Valentines version. I love the colors with the touch of green added in the ruffle. It goes perfect with my black pillow, so I did not need to make a new pillow, just the wrap!
I had so much fun decorating this month! I think because Christmas was over and I am excited to start the new year. I went with the snowflake theme and even though I don’t really like the cold, I love how beautiful everything looks covered in snow. I had one of my grandsons’ in the car with me yesterday and he said, “Look Grandma, everything looks glittery!” And I must agree that it did… the sun was hitting the snow just right and it looked like glitter had fallen right from heaven! So Pretty.
It seems like I have had a lot of sewing projects lately and I promise that there are only a couple of more to come!
I just get the sewing bug when it comes to Christmas! I like to make some of my Christmas gifts and of course I love sewing some fun quilts and pillows!
Here is my December calendar!
This month for my calendar, I decided to make a fun little garland using mini cupcake liners and doilies! I think that it turned out pretty cute. You could use this idea with regular sized cupcake liners and doilies to make a bigger one and of course you could change up the colors to use for any season!
