Figgy Pudding....

by Basic Gray is the name of most of the fabrics I picked for this project. I finally got it finished (started it at this time last year!) It took me awhile to hand stitch the binding on, but I love it!
Stay tuned for a matching table runner I am working on....let's hope it is done before Christmas this year!

Christmas Stamp-a-Stack

I had a stamp-a-stack for a friend of mine from work at her house, with 5 of her friends. It went well, they were scrapbookers giving card making a try. I kept the cards fairly simple, as we did 3 of each design for a total of 15.. I love the new Merry Christmas post card stamp (the 4th card from the left. Lot's of shimmer spray and glitter, which the picture doesn't capture to well!

Hoot n' Annie

Meet Annie....Hoot is not done yet! I was playing with a product that is new to me...texture magic....the second picture shows the "texture". I quilted diamond shape lines on the texture magic and the snail fabric, then steamed with the iron and that cool crinkled look is what I got!

Special bag

I have a friend who's son has a very special stuffed football. It was recently lost and was very upsetting for all involved for 2 days until he was found! I decided to make a special bag for football to stay in, and be transported in.

Super easy-I just serged the edges, then sewed a seam along the 2 open edges, and folded it down at the top to be able to put a string through it.

Cake anyone??!

We recently held a hockey themed baby shower for a friend from work and this is the "diaper cake" that I made. It also had a hockey themed edible cake to match, but I ordered that from IGA!!

I bought some mini-hockey sticks from Costco to put in the middle, and used my bigshot to cut out the letters and the the stars. To hold all of the diaper layers together I wrapped black cardstock and then tied the blue ribbon around the cardstock. (the diaper layers already had an elastic band holding the diapers in place)

I didn't want to have a bunch of things hanging off of the cake (baby toys etc), I like that it is quite simple.

Hotwheels bag!

I made this for Markus to put his cars in. He picked out the fabric (it's actually thick canvas like fabric) Everytime we go out he like to bring his cars and we throw them into a lunchbag or something. Now he can have his own special car bag!!

Gardening Apron....

I made this for a friend of mine who loves to garden. She gave me a bunch of Dahlia bulbs earlier this year and I thought of her when I saw this fabric!
