I finished my wreath today it was very easy and fun . Leslie instructions were very easy to follow and even tho i changed the ribbons and since we have a window on our door i had to felt the back because thru the window you can see all my stitches and plastic canvas. I have many ideas now since i have made one you should make one it was fun the bells in the middle are great imagination .

Just wanted to share my christmas wreath. Happy thanksgiving!!!!

Halloween star quilt in progress

This was posted on my blog 3 /07/08
progress
In case you all thought I forgot about this project, or scrapped it, I haven't; it was just put on the back burner for a while. I still plan on having it done for next Halloween. I have included one of my children as a size-sort of reference. She is a typical 6-year-old in size, if that helps all who wondered how big this was so far. End goal is big enough to fit on my double pillow-top king-size bed. I have a ways to go, to say the least.
still working on it
other posts on this quilt
For those who are curious, I am still job hunting.

This I posted on my blog on June 2

This is a work in progress that I work on in the car while my husband drives the first 1 hour of our commute and the last hour at night. So, it only is getting worked on two hours a day or less. When done, this will fit a 24 month/2T-size little girl. I don't have one of those; this is just an experiment with sheer fabric and yarn to try and make an image I had in my head. It needs 4 more yoyos around arm/neck openings. So far it is coming out as I thought it would. It also needs crocheted sleeves and the skirt part finished. The white part is the slip a 24 mos/2T-sized little girl would wear under the dress.

This last photo is not true to color, but it shows you how sheer the yoyos are

All the supplies in this project, from the fabric to the yarn to the thread, came from thrift stores at differnt times.

I wanted to share the patterns my freind at Indygo Junction sent me


These are the yoyo patterns they are offering they are so darling. I had already made the elephant that you have seen earlier in this blog.These i will make later in the year . But for now i have started the puppy.



This one has been a little tricky but i think its turning out okay. The kitty is the one i will make next. Then the rabbit but i have my son and daughterinlaw to finish up their gift so these will be on the back burner.
















These halloween patterns are sooooooooo cute but i will have to wait till fabric comes out. The clowns are kinda neat and the bear is a felting project. If your interested in the patterns go to
Indygo Junction for all their yoyo patterns.
