Headbands

I made some more headbands for the ladies in the family. You can see Anne modeling hers.

The Beach

Julio and I went to the beach yesterday. The weather was great, but cold! You can see that I'm enjoying the sun!



We had a little company!

While sitting on the beach I did some hand quilting. I'm sure that I looked like a grandmother...


On a side note, here is another picture of our tulips.

Lucky Earrings!

These are the "Try it Tuesday" earrings I made this week. Luckily I put them in my purse, so on St. Patrick's Day (after I already had gotten to work without green) I could put them on!

Tulips

These are the tulips that Julio and I bought a week ago. They are now blooming very nicely now on our back porch.

Spoiled Dog!

A friend of mine gave me a quilt kit for my birthday. The fabrics had dogs, paws, and bones on them. Since Sadie's blanket she sleeps with was looking a little raggedy, I decided to make the quilt for her. The blanket that Sadie had been sleeping with was an old Care Bear sleeping bag I gotten for Christmas on year when I was a kid. She had chewed one corner when she was still in the crate, and I don't think she really like the zipper. The kit made a quilt that was 30.5X36 inches, but I added some other fabrics to make it bigger. Here you can see the finished top layer of the quilt...

Julio suggested that I use the Care Bear blanket because Sadie loves it so much. What I did was put right sides together and then sew around the outside. After that I cut the access fabric off and turned it inside out.


Instead of quilting it, I decided to tie the quilt.




As you can see Sadie enjoyed her warm new quilt last night.

Earrings at Panopolie

Here are the earrings I made at Panopolie the last two Tuesdays.

My New Quilting Project

Linda and I decided to do an applique quilt. We're going to do the same quilt, but in different colors. I chose to do mine in pink and purple, as you can see below.

Here are our blocks next to each other. Linda is making two different quilts, a blue and a brown one.

Project Linus

This is the quilt that Linda and I did for Project Linus.

Opinions Needed!

I have finished my cake! I'm so happy! The only thing I am wondering is what to do with the bottom layer of the cake. I want to write "Happy Birthday" on it, but I don't know with what. I bought these letters....


but now I'm thinking they might not look very nice. I was also thinking putting the words on there with beads. So, I need your opinion! Should I add anything to the cake and if so what?

The Latest

While I was "snowed in" over the weekend, I decoupaged some old Christmas ornaments which didn't look very nice anymore. I bought some decoupage paper. Then I covered the balls with Mod Podge, and then put another coat to seal the paper.



I also was on a quest to find a cute cloth headband. After unsuccessfully looking in several stores, I found one online. As you can see, it's also reversible. I still need to try the wrap headband.
