WIP's

Well, I have several things that are works in progress...and I am just a little twitchy because I kinda like to not have things be 'in progress'. I like them to be done.  But, they will be (someday)!

I am doing another quilt a long with Amanda Jean...

here is what I have so far... 

And here are some more stripes that I added for Beth's stripe challenge...

But I am stuck because I have no idea what I am going to make yet...

And, because I think I might be able to bust out a completed project...I am going to turn these Blush scraps into a runner...wish me luck for a quick turnaround :)

~Have a great day~

Pillowcases

OK-so I have made a few pillow cases for the boys...but I will have to make some more.

I was reading my friend Kristine's blog and she came across another really cool charity.

Add the pillow cases to the list of "To-Do" :)  At least they are fast!!

Spring wreath!

OK, so I have seen a few wreath's online similar to this one.  There was one that used whiteclothes line. Cute!  So here is my version.  Totally on the cheap.  The YARN was the most expensive at $2.49.  And there is enough of it to make several more!  The styro circle could have been purchased at Joann's for $5!! WHAT!  And the wired ribbon could have been pretty pricey too.  Don't even get me started on the silk flowers. Whoa.

The real WHOA is that everything but the yarn was purchased
AT THE DOLLAR TREE!  WAHOO!

I don't think it could get any better than that :)

I just tied the end of the yarn around the circle and wrapped.  and wrapped. and. wrapped.  You get the idea.  D helped a little but quickly bored.  I tightened the yarn as I went because I am wound a little tight so everything I make is too :P  I am sure it would have gone a lot faster and still look extra cute if the yarn had a little breathing room.  Then I hot glued the petals on then the sunflowers.

The ribbon was the most difficult:  bow, no bow?  Then I just could not figure out what to do with it if there was no bow (I blame the late nights...) so, bow it is.

Can't wait for Easter-maybe I will do one with colorful eggs :)  The possiblites really are endless & easy!!

Have fun!!
