A Never Ending Project....

I started a rag rug back in January.  This is how far I have gotten!  As you can see from the pile of braids, I have much more work to do.  (I will post a picture later when I finish.)  The cats are having fun playing with the braids, especially Miles.

It's a boy!!

Luke Everett Brown.  Wood letters for Luke's room.  I painted the letters blue then added blue, green and orange scrapbook paper to the top.   After that, I accented the letters with buttons in the same colors as the scrapbook paper.  I can't wait to hang these up! 

50 Sucks!!

Sean's mom turned 50 in March.  I found this cute idea on pinterest.  I put 50 hard candies in a jar and added a label that says 50 sucks  This would make a cute little gift for any age 30, 40, 50, etc.  Thanks pinterest!

I LOVE Books...and Bookends!

A few years ago, I found these bookends at a yard sale.  The black finish was starting to come off and they didn't look too good.  I decided to redo them with cute scrapbook paper and Mod Podge.  I put new felt on the bottom to prevent scrapes on my bookshelves.  I think they turned out cute.  Must find more at future garage sales! :)

More Mod Podge

I made these tile coasters for my mom's birthday.  Since they were fun and easy to make, I decided to make more.  Here are two sets of 4 coasters.  I tied ribbon around each set.  Now, they are ready to give as gifts.  Here they are:

Another one done!

Another project I started this summer was a baby quilt for a friend.  This quilt was made of left over material and scraps I had here at the house.  I love the music print, but don't love the yellow and black.  This is not my favorite quilt, but it is done.  I think it looks better from a distance!  I'm glad I don't have to look at it or work on it anymore and can begin a new quilt.  Here's a picture of the front and back of the quilt.

Time to Catch Up

Since January 1st, I have completed several projects that have been on my "to do list" for sometime.


The first project I completed was a mod podge planting pot.  The pot was just an old clay pot that I decorated with starburst candy wrappers.  I had Sean eat the candy on a camping trip during the summer so I could use the wrappers for this project.  So, as you can see, this project has been on the list since early July!  Finally done, yay!  Now, I just need to get a flower or plant in there during the spring.

Welcome!

Welcome to my blog.  On this blog, I will post pics and descriptions of all my craft, sewing and quilting projects.  A goal for 2012 is to spend more time sewing and being crafty!  This blog will give me a place to keep track of all my fun projects in 2012.  Happy crafting to me! :)
