Back to Crafting

Hi Everyone
Thank you for stopping by.
I feel good at last. What I did was take too many calcium.I never knew you could get so sick from doing that.Has any one else done this?
I finished my fabric book .I started last fall. I designed it from my ATC's . I started it when there was a contest for our ACT Swap.I did not have time to finish it then . I went on that trip out east. So did today, I did a different one for the contest .


Front and Back

Sister and Angel Swap

Leaves and Orange Swap
I sewed this table cover for my patio today.The fabric I have had a while .Pattern is like the 40's.

Was going to do my deck in the 40's style but it is now enclosed and is my country.So I will use it on my patio.

The gourds I painted in lime and a dark red.Two of them reminds me of a big pear.The pear is a Symbol of homespun cozy and warm.
They are large ones.I bought the cutting board in France is it not wonderful?

Good day Sunday

Hi every one
Thanks everyone who stopped by
I think I stop by every Pink Saturday that posted in it.

Was laying in bed last night and it dawn on me the pillow I made for the heart swap was too big

The one I made,could not fits in the flat rate box 8x5.I made the wrong size heart. So had to make the correct size today. The one I made is too big 9x11, Now the second one is 5x6 the right size will fit in box.
They are both cream wool
Small pillow has vintage lace buttons and copied pictures. Silky ribbon.
The large one is vintage lace and stitched hearts ,with a rag flower made with muslin and grosgrain and silky ribbons.

Drinking my last Pepsi. I have been drinking too many.

Went to Dr yesterday it takes time to see if the surgery will work. Dr. said takes a few months.To see if ,I will not wear glasses.
