Thanks...quick and easy!

Looking for a quick and easy card that still looks handmade??? How about this beauty?

I recently bought this Darcie embossing folder from

Consumer Crafts. I made this card the day

after I got it! Wow! I love it! (I used card stock from

Hobby Lobby that is similar to core'dinations...white

on the back.) I added a decorative paper fastener and 

called it done! What could be easier???

Thanks for checking in and have a great day!

Vintage gift bag

Hi! I'm sharing a little vintage gift bag idea today....

I started with an 8 1/2 x 11 piece of paper and folded it, so the "seam" was in the back; then sealed the bottom.

I embellished the front with a page from a Workbasket magazine, added a paper doily

for closure and stamped the front.

Here it is from the back:

 And a closer view of the stamp:

This kind of 'bag' worked well since the item is flat.

Thanks for checking in and have a great day!

I'll be back soon to share a few crochet dishcloths

I've been working on!

Make a chair look pretty!

I decided to crochet a little chair "pad" today.

I used gray t-shirt yarn that I bought on clearance last summer,
with a size N hook.

I like the way it looks...the perfect touch to a vintage wooden chair.
I browsed through my crochet patterns until I found

something I thought might work. This is a small doily motif, made

with 8 rounds of crochet. You can find the pattern here.

(It's the pattern on the top. :)

Have a great day!

Snowflake in July

I am trying to decide on a snowflake pattern to make for my class this year....

it's always a summer project I like to get done before the 

rush of the Christmas season. 

This one turned out quite nicely.

You can find the chart here, if you want to give it a try.

Enjoy!

Red, White, and Blue

Here is another pattern that lends itself well to using 3 colors.

I made one to celebrate the 4th of July.
