a Fascination with Fascinators

So Last week, one of the Kathy's wore a fascinator to our yarn group (the Flock), well it was sooooo cute, we decided we all needed one to wear for New Years, we were all assigned an ingredient to bring and the results were amazing! not a bad one in the bunch. In this pic our little flock works feverishly to get the best ribbon, flowers and feathers available and when Kathy couldn't find a cute feather for her fascinator she just solved the problem by taking her best friend Kathy's feathers. How resourceful is she? Go Kathy!

Here are the Finished Fascinators, Yay! were ready for New Years!

One in the Flock is Kinda Kranky!

and some are so Angelic !

Pink Posey!

Just sitting around watching Christmas Movies with my honey and I made this little cutie!

Maybe I'll wear it in my hair for Valentines Day!

Bag em and Tag em!

I made these gift tags from fabric I got at my favorite quilt-shop, "Fat Quarters" in Vista. I stamped the fabric with a Mason Jar stamp using StazOn Ink, I next put a layer of light batting then ended it with white fabric then sewed around the jar making sure to insert ribbon for the hanger, then I stamped a little something in the jar and embellished all with stickles. They are too cute!

From me to You!

"Warm ears are a Must"

These cute little headbands were made for my niece. She loves wearing them and they look so cute on her too!

"Baby it's cold Outside"

I made these fingerless gloves for my friend Suzie. They fit her nicely and she is also an excellent hand model!

Merry Christmas Girlfriend!

Sunflower Gift Cards

So, as I'm sure you have noticed, I have been posting pictures of the Sunflowers I grew this summer in my back yard on my blog, it turns out that they made perfect subjects for my photo shoots. This year, for the gift giving season, I decided to turn them into cards to give away to family and friends.

I think they're super cool.

"Ronald McDonald House" Donation

My friend Catherine and I embellished these frame kits for giving away at the Ronald McDonald House in San Diego. There are many families there going through some very tough times and she is always trying to think of ways to bring a little cheer into their lives. It was a pleasure helping her get these all prettied up for them.

Happy Holidays and hopefully their wishes for happy and healthy children will come true.

Christmas Card, 2011

Since I have a fascination for fabric these days, I decided to take a picture of a cheerful holiday piece I had and make turn it into the background of my Christmas card this year, I then added pretties over the picture, stamped an old world Santa on the inside and of course, strict instructions to "Be Merry".

I like em!

Quilted Wreath

So here is my very first attempt at making a quilt something. I took a class at Fat Quarters and after four hours, this is what I went home with. I like it, just wish my edges had been a little more even. Maybe next time!
