My Granddaughters Quilt

It has been quite awhile since I have had a chance to update my blog. I have added some new links. Here is the big surprise I was working on at Christmas time. I found this Eeyore cross stitch quilt kit. It was perfect for the new baby. I wish I could say it was my design but it is a quilt kit by Janlynn. Janlynn projects can be found at various stores carrying craft projects and there a lot of different projects to choose from. The project was a lot of work but I sure am proud of it.

Holidays

Wow I don't know about anyone else but I sure have been busy. Almost all projects were completed and in the mail on time. I have one to go but I have been busy setting up a new business. I have included the link to it in my favorite links. My wish for everyone is a Merry Christmas and a Happy and Prosperous New Year.

Holidays

Wow! Thanksgiving is over. What a great day spent with family. My Christmas tree is up, the lights are on the house and most of the Christmas cards are done and ready to mail. Now all I have to do is finish my Christmas presents that I am making instead of buying. Bring it on I can do this!! Happy Holidays!

Bedroom Curtains

I have heard that some people would like to know how I make my curtains. When I made my bedroom curtains I was a day sleeper so these were made double thickness. I just picked out the material in a print and a matching solid color. When I sewed them together I started with what looked like a pillowcase with "right sides" facing, these are tab top curtains so I found burlap to use as the tabs and cut strips to the size I wanted and ran a seam up each side so they would fray but not too much. Then I just sewed them in place. Yes that as a tree branch that I used as a curtain rod! The hangers are wrought iron plant hangers that they rest on. I also made a comforter to match the curtains. I told you I liked southwest design! I found everything I needed to make the curtains at the fabric department at Wal-Mart.

Happy Veterans Day

I have the day at home to myself and my dogs. So I have time to work on my many projects and my blog. I can't believe next week is Thanksgiving. Wow time sure does fly.

Mother of Invention

I have found over the years that finding curtains for my house is a problem. My husband and I love Southwestern Decor, but try to find it. I have found that if I go to WalMart I can find Southwest printed material and I design my own curtains. I have made curtains for every room in my house and what makes it better is they are just right because I made them custom ordered!
