Pretty Little Dresses

Yesterday I made these Pretty Little Dresses out of paper and embellished them.

It's fun to design these dresses and they look so cute hanging up over a window.

Now I've got to get busy finishing up the blanket for

the new grandaughter thats

arriving next week!

Dressed for Valentines

I've been making lots of Valentines stuff the last couple of weeks and so I thought I'd share these little dresses with you. I'm sending them to someone special for a Valentines gift. I have a "clothesline" that I'm sending along with them and some clips to hang the dresses up with.

All of the dresses have a heart on them except for the all pink dress. It's all pink though so it kinda says Valentines anyway.

It's so much fun to pick out the paper and then embellish the little dresses. I love my boys, but I could have been very happy with more little girls.....2 just wasn't enough for me. I guess that's what grandaughters are for, right?

Anyway, Have a great day and I hope you enjoyed seeing my little dresses and if you want to see the rest of my Valentines stuff there are pictures on my sidebar in my Etsy Shop.

Day 7 and Reindeer and Happy Birthday to my Sister Robyn!

Today is Day #7 and it is a special day because it's my sister Robyn's Birthday!

Today's box is from Erica from Zunky Chic and it is so pretty. There is a little snowman ornament on the inside of it. I really wish my camera worked better because this box is so much prettier than the photo shows.

and this is my sister Robyn with Mallory last New Year's Eve.

They are both kinda crazy and always fun to be around!

Happy Birthday Robyn!

Here is the box I made for Day 7.

I made some little mittens out of felt to put on the inside

to keep Santa's hands warm!

Finally, here is the Reindeer stuff I made for my YOE monthly swap.

I made a little felt reindeer ornament, matchbox ornament, cards and tags and then a little hanging reindeer out of felt.

Have a wonderful day and stay warm!

We had some snow last night so Jace wanted to know if today was Christmas because snow means Christmas! I love 4 year olds and the magic they see in the littlest things!

Some of What I've Been Up To

I am in Val's monthly Year of Enchantment Ornament Swap and September's swap was mice. Here are the mice I made for my partner.

I even stamped a little bag with a leaf and then colored it in with marker and outlined it with glitter glue. I am NOT a stamper so I was particularly proud of this little project!

October's swap theme was Owl's. So I made up some felt owl ornaments, an owl hot pad, and some different paper owls. I had to stick some Tootsie Pops in because of the old commercial

"How many licks does it take to get to the Tootsie Roll Center of a Tootsie Pop?"

Then I made 154 Christmas Stockings for my mom.

This is only part of them.

The place my mom works at are going to have kids paint and decorate the stockings.

I've been working on a couple of other big projects,

But,

they're for Christmas gifts and so I can't post them yet.


Well, I'm off to do some more Christmas stuff!

Have a wonderful day!

A Fun Fall Banner

I participated in Cindy's Fall Banner Swap and these are the super cute, creative banners I received. My partners were Cindy and Tamera.

Tamera and Cindy made these 2 sets. Cindy made an extra set for someone who dropped out of the swap.

I have enough to make 2 banners so I can decorate 2 of my big windows. I'll take another picture after I string them and hang them up.

Thanks everyone who participated! I love the different creative styles and can't wait to put it all together!

and these are the ones that I made

Thanks Tamera and Cindy for a wonderful Fall Banner that will definitely make my house feel warm and Fall like!

PLEASE READ THE INSTRUCTIONS: It will make your life a lot easier!

I am really a ditz sometimes!

Yes, I admit to it....quite a bit actually,

but I guess that is how we learn

Right?

from our mistakes.

I am participating in Cindy's Fall Banner Swap and I was suppose to make 8 scarecrows and 4 letter "L's". As you can see from the photo's below I did make my scarecrows and letters I spent hours working on them and although they didn't turn out exactly like what I was wanting I thought they were pretty cute.

THEN

as I'm getting ready to go to the post office to mail these little guys to Cindy

I looked at her blog

and discovered I had made them wrong

Oh man!

How could I be so stupid?

Why didn't I read the instructions completely?

I was suppose to put my scarecrows and letters on

5 x 7 TRIANGLES.

Okay, get ahold of yourself Sherry

and get BUSY remaking the banners!

Here are my finished triangle pieces.

I have 4 of each scarecrown and 4 letter "L's"

and then I made 4 crows as an extra

that Cindy can do with as she pleases.

So my note to myself is to

PLEASE READ THE INSTRUCTIONS

it will make your life a lot easier!
