"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!

Dear Santa!



Santa Pin Anyone?

Crochet Purse with Metal Handles

I made this for a friend of mine, these handles were her mom's, now she has a cute purse to use this holiday season and she can fondly remember her momma too!

This is a cowl/shawl, just finished this one tonight. This one drapes so nicely that I decided to make this the front...

Crochet Shawl or Scarf? I think both!

Just finished this warm and fuzzy scarf! I think this is gonna be a gift this year, one down and a bunch to go!




"Fabric Flowers"

I'm loving Fabric and I'm loving cards, so I took pictures of these flowers on a piece of fabric and I made these fabulous cards! I hate to admit this, but I got the idea for this from my husband Rich, I asked him to take lots of pictures from his family visit and he ended up with about 6 pictures of a tablecloth, not what I meant Mr. Rich!

"Santa Baby Bag"






So, I have to give credit to my sister Isabel.


She made this little Santa tote for her good friend Beth (Happy Birthday Beth, I know you were only kidding when you said you were not going to make me anymore pretties).


I think this little tote is so darn cute, I just had to put in on my blog.

Ho, Ho, Ho!





NINE!!!



This little cutie can be used to carry around your puppies special treats, bows and tiaras...

I crocheted a trim for around the top and finished it off with on of my signature flowers.

Bold, beautiful and petite!
