Pretty Pillows

These are so pretty, I just had to post them. My mom bought them at a thrift store for .50 cents each. I think she got a bargain. They are needle point, trimmed with lace. Someone did a lot of work on these, and a good job too.

Change purse, good luck charm

I have not had time to do any new crafts, so I am posting these little things that I had laying around. I sewed them by hand, and they are a pouch, a special charm ,or for loose change.
I found a pattern for him in the book Omiyage. I have made many of the projects form this book, I would like to buy it, but they have it at my library so I just keep borrowing it .

Baptism favors

I made 40 of these favors for my Great niece and nephews Baptism. They are white chocolate covered marshmallows, rolled in sprinkles. The twins looked adorable. I couldn't get a picture of the boy because he kept crawling away.

Fun at the beach!! I love Port Elgin, The beach is beautiful , shopping is great, and the Queens Hotel has a 5 dollar, all you can eat fish and chips that can't be beat. This beach is part if the longest fresh water coast line in the world. The water is crystal clear , the sand is fine, and you can walk out for ages before it gets too deep.

Janes 50th Birthday

I have not had time to blog lately, we have been on holidays ,the weather has been great, and I have been having a ton of summer fun. It was our friend Jane's 50 Birthday and she LOVED the quilt that I made for her. Every-one was impressed with the pictures and captions that I printed on cotton, then sewed on the back . the quilt took a week to make, and the label with the pictures for the back only took a few hours. We had fun at her party, and we were still home by 8:30, in time to watch a movie. That's my kind of party, lots of food,a few drinks, lots of laughs , and home before nine.
