Pull up a chair and visit for a while.

I like to write about life, things that make me laugh and of course my crafty projects. My faith centers me and serving the Lord is a big part of my life. I love my hubby and kiddos, our four-legged family member, music, books, TV, good food and creating things.

Thanks so much for stopping by! God bless.

Flowers, flowers everywhere

at least inside (sad state of backyard notwithstanding... I mean REALLY sad - trying to convince myself that dandelions are not a weed but a pretty flower... might need to think about scheduling a catscan).


Here are some flower pins I worked on last night and this morning (another early morning thanks to Uncle Sam). I wasn't sure if I liked making these babies, but they're fun to make and a great way to use up some quilt squares from projects off my "when I get a chance" list because let's be realistic when I Do get a chance to work on this stuff I'll be too old and frail to hold a needle!



There are some fleece flowers and scrap fabric ones and I love them all - let's not forget the little yo-yo flowers! Now that's something I can throw in my Busy Bag and work on whenever I get a chance (Little One's dance class or while waiting for all sorts of appointments). Two of them were given away as thank-you gifts for Sunday School teachers for today's last class of the year (does that mean summer is coming... me and my pasty flabbiness in a swimsuit... eewww); Little One snagged the yellow pin and I took the pink one (just love the fabric with the cherries and raspberries). The rest will go into my stash and hopefully be posted on Etsy in a few days.






Here they are:















I told Little One I needed one for each day of the year, but she gave me the "my mom has totally lost her last marble" look and said "No way". ... funsucker! Maybe I'll make one for each day of the week...hmmmm



Whadda ya think?



Oh, just to restate the obvious, photography is NOT my strong suit, but I'm working on it. At least these pics don't have a nice view of the laundry or other unsightly stuff in it - yay for me!

Enjoy the rest of your Sunday. I'm off to let the barking fools (Main Dog and Back-up Dog) back in the house now that they have sufficiently made a nuisance of themselves outside plus I saw some yummy puff pastry cookies and my beloved coffe mug out in the kitchen... need to reward myself for not abandoning whiny offspring at the craftstore earlier ("Can we GO now???).
