Rag Quilt

I sewed a rag quilt for the first time for my cousin's baby shower.  I had some left over squares so I made a cute tote bag to go with it.  She's having a boy!  I can't wait to see her reaction when she opens it.  Cute, huh?

Cupcake Toppers

Are you like me?  I get hooked on an idea and then that's all I want to do.  I made these cupcake toppers for a little girls birthday and now all I want to do is make cupcake toppers.  My daughter is graduating next Thursday and I plan on making some for her graduation party.  I was thinking pinwheels.  I'll do my best to take a photo and post.

Card Candy Swap

I have been participating in a lot of swaps and here's my newest creations... This is for really BIG card candy.  The guitars are shaker boxes and they are about 7" tall.  The tropical drink has layers of paper and inking and they are about 5" tall.

Wow! I guess I forgot...

I have been so busy with stuff, I guess I forgot about my resolution and this blog.  I've been crafting as much as ever and of course, forgot to take photos of most of my stuff, but I do have some to add.

Diaper Cake - I've always wanted to do one of these so I made a small cake for a coworker.  I absolutely LOVE how it turned out and it was so fun and easy to make.

New Contacts

I forgot to mention that I did meet some new people in town and was asked to make some give-aways for one person and some journals on consignment for a new boutique that's opening up in town.


The salon owner was really nice so I'm planning on making cards and asking if I can display some at her salon on consignment as well.

I'm trying to remember a quote I read a while ago that was something like "to get something you never had, you have to do something you've never done".  Well, I'm pushing myself to get out there and at least ask.  The worst that can happen is someone says no.

These are photos of the very small Valentine's Boutique one of the salons in town hosted.  And when I say small, I mean small.  Unfortunately there were less than 20 people who came in.  I was able to sell most of my candy, but the kids were glad when I came home with chocolate.

First Day of February

I have to get into the habit of posting on the blog.  It'll take time.  Right now I'm working on lots of swaps for Split Coast Stampers.  I just finished some birthday card candy and I really love the colors.  I'll download photos this evening.
