Just add Faces!

My neighbor Cindy and I had quite a time creating this spooky scene for all the Halloween fun we always have in our neighborhood. 

Rich gave us a canvas tarp, Cindy came up with this cute scene and drew it on and I painted it, we love our finished project and everyone had fun with this, even our random trick-or-treaters. 

Wonder what we will come up with for next year, maybe a haunted house!

A super spooky Pair!

and here we are,
                   don't make us scare you!

I love Haloween!

Spooky spider included!

and I love these Halloween A-door-ables!  Just fill them with goodies and hand on a friends door.

Just what I needed to leave a little treat for someone sweet!

Baby Hair!

There once was baby named Quinn...
and she needed some hair, so I made her some crochet hats with some piggy tails!

She's a cutie with or without the tails!

Reene's Gypsy Quilt

A Renee Original!

I don't know where she finds the time, but Renee always comes up with the most beautiful quilts to create.  This one is her Gypsy Quilt and it turned out sooooo beautiful.

 

Thanks for sharing!

Man Room Ottoman!

I made this ottoman out of a paint bucket I got from the hardware store.  I covered the bucket with foam, then I pleated fabric and stapled along the top and inside bottom of the bucket.  I sewed a pillow and with cording and embellished it with buttons.

It goes perfect in Rich's Man Room!

Jellie Roll Race

Love the Cozy!

I had two Jelly Rolls so I sewed them up end to end using one black and white strip, then one colorful strip, I ended up with one really long piece of sewn together strips of fabric, then I sewed them in half and cut the end of the strip, then I sewed that piece in half each time cutting the end of the recently sewn strip.  This is what I got, a really cool, really colorful quilt and of course I backed it with a bright yellow fleece.
So Colorful!

Bracelet Tree

I needed something to hang my bracelets on, maybe something with two rows.....

This is what Rich came up with and its perfect, now I can see all my pretties without rummaging through a drawer.

Love it!
(I painted it but that's not over spray, its Art)

The Apple Dawg Story!

This is the best camping dessert I have ever had and well worth the time it takes to make these yummy little treats! 
First gather your ingredients, you will need squeeze butter, brown sugar, grand biscuits and sliced peaches (we used raspberry flavor).



Next, make the biscuit big, like you would pizza dough and wrap it around a stick about an inch to inch and a half in diameter, if you are using a stick you find in the wilderness (I mean This is a camping dessert), then make sure its clean and not poisonous, that would be a drag :( 











Then you bake it, slowly (I said slowly) over a hot bed of coals, be careful or it may burn, this may take 15 to 20 minutes depending on your patience, longer if you burn it and have to start over!

Then...  you pull it off your stick and it looks like this!  (This is Waren, Sandi's cute husband!)

So now that you have a baked biscuit with a hold in it, you squirt some squeeze butter into the hole, then some brown sugar and then a few peaches, repeat this process until the biscuit is full!



Now add a little whipped cream!

and enjoy your little peach cobbler!  and yes they are called apple dawgs!

My First Completed Quilt!

So I finally finished a quilt, from start to finish.
This pattern is called "Kitty in the corner" and it was fairly simple. 

I backed this quilt with fleece so that makes it extra cozy!

Can't wait for winter to snuggle up with it!

A little taste!

of whats to come. This quilt isn't finished yet, but I couldn't help putting a portion of it on my blog, I love these fabrics and love the way its turning out!                  (don't look at the corners to closely though)

Split Nine Patch

I Can't Find My Keys!

So I made a keychain that is sure to stand out!

I stamped fabric with this dress rubber stamp using staz-on and using my sewing machine I added the stars to fancy up the dress a bit, next I added rick-rack to the front and embezzled with stickles.  I sewed the two stamped dresses together and done!  super easy and super fun, I may be making more of these.

A-Door-A-Bell !!!!

I love this soooo much!  My sister first made me one along with the directions to make more.  Of course, I procrastinated and only just now have gotten around to making it.  I love the way it turned out, it was easy and looks oh so cute!  Now I just need to fill it with something great and put it on someones door!

Pretty Purse with Posies on it!

 I loved this fabric,

            so I made a purse!

"Spiritually Speaking"

We decorated crosses, Rich and Pete made them, Linda and I blingled them.  Paint, beads, buttons and wire and voila, little masterpieces for giving from the heart!

May all who are gifted with these little beauties enjoy them forever!

"Random Beauties"

 Linda found these cute little masks for us and we decided to make a day of dolling them up!  They were a blast to create and now we have something to wear if we ever get invited to the Queens Mascaraed Ball!

"Always be prepared"  that's our motto!



So now, I'm a Jewler!

Yes, that right, I whipped up these earrings myself and they look great!

I think I'll be making more of these!

Wax Angles just for the fun of it!!!

You just can't have enough Angels in your life so we decided to create a few more.  These are also done with encaustic wax. 

So Fun!

Linda's Creation

Waxing it up, the artistic way!

Dee's creation

My sister-in-law Linda and I have been creating with encaustic wax, her first time and me a few other times.  We had a blast coming up with these cool little canvases.  I came up with the owl design and her is the groovy girl!  I think she is hooked and I can't wait to see what she comes up with when she gets back home!

Happy Birthday Tiki!

Today Tiki is Ten Years Young!   

She had a big day and she's just a little tired!                        

Time to Organize!

Did I say Organize?  I meant hide, yes that right HIDE!

It seems I have quite a bit of clutter happening and it was just time to put it out of site (but not out of mind!)  I spent most of my Sunday working on this project, I thought I had purchased enough material to tidy the place up, turns out I could have used a little more, oh well, I can always pickup some more and I ran out of rick rack!

I have to admit, it makes my crafting area look much nicer!
