Happy Monday

I had a good Mother’s Day weekend. Hope everyone else did also. I Did a little bit of shopping with my mother and a little bit of crafty stuff. The flower box was a big hit my mom loved it. I got some fancy, shiny papers for making cards, and of course I had to try them out. I love this new toy…LOL The paper worked great in the die cutter.

Over the weekend the cactus started blooming like crazy looks so pretty. This is the most blooms I had it for a while.

Mother’s Day project

I decided to make an exploding box for Mother’s Day this year. This is the first one I’ve ever made and if I do say so myself it turned out very pretty. Its not to big about 4″ square by 4.5″ high with 3 layers. It took longer then I thought it would, lots of glue on this puppy. I wanted to go slow to make sure the layers and embellishments dried, patience…its hard to do when you want to keep adding and adding stuff. Can’t wait to make another one, this was really fun. So needless to say I didn’t get much sewing done over the weekend.

I used lots of die cut pieces for all the leaves and flowers. Such fun!!!

crafty weekend

I didn’t get much sewing done this weekend, lots of yard work, but I did make a couple of birthday cards that I needed to mail off…OK the birthday is tomorrow and I just mailed the card this morning, so it will be a little late…LOL Hope my sister doesn’t mind.

Another finish!

I’ve finished the octagon cross stitch wall hanging. All except the hanging sleeve. But that done enough for me. The cross stitch is trapunto, it really pops with the close line quilting I did around it. More are in the works.

Where did the weekend go

Its Wednesday already how did that happen…LOL

I haven’t gotten much finished but I do have several in the works.

Both of these are some of my mother’s cross stitch pieces that I’m turning into wall hangings. Now all I need to do is sandwich them up and quilt a little and I’ll be done….Sounds easy to do right.

Another snowy Monday

Had a good day Sunday sewing.  Start to finish almost twin size top in one day. Of course I started with a panel so it went together pretty fast.
Other then that I had a quiet weekend. I mailed off some Happy Spring pop-up cards I made, those were loads of fun, kind-of addicting.

Had a wonderful weekend, perfect spring weather. Didn’t get much sewing done but I did finish my ATC for the upcoming swap on the 24th at Quilting Adventures, the theme is Steampunk. I did about 12 cards, below are a few favorites, had lots of fun making these.
