Upcycle sweater

Love, Love, Love this.  Saw it in a magazine (better home and gardens?) last year and thought I must try it.  So I went to the thrift store and bought 2 old sweaters ($2.50 each)  and used the arms to put random size glass containers in that I had around the house then went to the hardware store to buy that foam insulation stuff you put around your hot water pipes ($2) and used it to make a wreath duck taping the ends together and wraped it in sweater and I still have enough sweater left over to make into pillow slipcovers that I will trim with the same red velvet ribbon.  When the candles shine through the material it is just georgous! And all for $7! Will post photos latter of pillows.  

Christmas gifts

For Christmas this year I made my nieces aprons.  Zeph was not too happy to be my model as they are too small for her but you get the idea.  I so love the cupcake one! Cuteness!

Fall cards

I was going to start a card class this fall and these cards and treat bag were going to be part of the class.  Have decided to hold off till the new year.

Cards for Auction

I made a group of cards for the benefit auction this weekend. Here is a sneak peek.

Oil paintings.

These are oil paintings I did in a class with my mom about 3 years ago. Just getting them up now. I was actualy taking pictures of them to put on the boxes so I know what is in the box but thought I should add it to my blog as well. Sorry about the flash in the pond one. Scott still has to make me a barnwood frame for the other.

Cards for Friends

Simple design cards I recently made for friends of mine and a couple nefew Bdays.

Baby number flash cards

This was a quilt panel I cut up and put a foam in middle then sewed them together. They are flexible but hold their shape. This is a baby gift for a friend of mine.
