To a Special Friend across the Ocean.

This one is especially made for a friend of our schools in Japan, this is another of the type "Curve Appeal" - with a custom label inside and a custom/special tag hanging from the handle - a commemorative of friends across the globe.   This was suppose to be a gift of greeting as she was to accompany a group of students on a visit to our community.  But the visit was canceled by the terrible earth quake - we were glad to hear that while the trip had to be canceled, all our friends are safe.

Memory Quilt

For the Granddaughter

Another Fat Bundle project - this is a repeat of an earlier bag you might recall.  I made this for my granddaughter - do you think the fabric is too young for a 7 year old?

Guess What I got for Christmas?

A Kindle! - So I started looking at covers and at $35+ each, I decided to try my hand at making my own. It isn't perfect but maybe I'll try again and applying what I learned doing this one, it should be much better.

Promises, Promises

Merry Christmas!!  I do have a few items I might be able to post, but mostly I've just been embellishing shirts and robes as Christmas gifts - so have been neglecting this blog.  Three robes for grand-nieces with their initial monogrammed on the breast - not too thrilling......  

I promise - more to come.  In the meantime my wonderful hubby had another great idea that has now spawned a spin off of this blog - so check out my new page about the Cake Mix Doctor.......

Another Hubby project!

My loving husband often "gets me into" projects.  He volunteered me for the "Sparkie" towel project.  And he is always volunteering me to make pies for this or that.  But I don't mind - I feel good that he takes such pride in my handy work. 

This bag was another hubby project - for the annual Chamber of Commerce fund raising silent auction.  He was more disappointed than me that it took only about $20 -  at least that was the top bid just minutes before bid closing.  But I expected it - I've seen enough of this type thing to know - unless you just really hit the niche, you get a lot of oohs and aahs, but not much else.  That's OK - I like the oohs and aahs - just another reason why I like giving things aways more than trying to make a buck on them.
