Back After A Long Time!!

 Well, I'm a grandmother now and I still work as a teacher so I'm pretty busy lately!  But I have still been creating a lot of happy, crafty stuff!  I will return with photos of some lovely items that I have made lately.  Sewn things, crocheted things, Cricut makes, and a fairly new craft to me....SOAP!  I have quite a few recipes under my belt now and I now know what works best for me.  Many gifted soaps later I have a good wealth of feedback and I am ready to embark on a Soapy journey with my DD who is also learning the craft.  I hope that it will bring a little income to her household. Stay tuned.......

I did it!!  This quilt is made out of some of my daughter's horse show ribbons.  I sewed them onto a square of muslin with a decorative stitch.  The photos were printed onto printable fabric and I used my embroidery machine for the blue patch.  My second quilt ever!

Wreath with fabric flowers and burlap



Another craft by Alicia.  We used some fabric stash, kind of a linen type fabric for some of the flowers and an old sheet for a few others.  We bought the pink and blue burlap and she raided my button stash for the accents.  She also added a few pearls for the center of the flowers.  The wreath was an old one that I stripped  a long time ago and was hanging around in the garage.  So this wreath was pretty cheap to make.  We saw some on Pinterest from Etsy shops that were similar for $70.  Yikes!  Thanks for saving money, Alicia!!!
