More iphone pouches

I've had a few people ask me to make them a pouch for their iphones, so I finally went down to the sewing room today and made them. I put pellon fusible fleece between the layers so that it helps protect the phone, I know I've dropped mine more than once and was glad it was inside it's little pouch.

Coin quilt

I've had the top of this quilt done for over 6 months! Finally just getting around to quilting and binding it. My friend is having a baby boy in May, so this is my gift to her. I'm almost certain that she doesn't check this blog, hope not! I used the coin quilt tutorial from Allison at Cluck Cluck sew.

SSSC 109

I used sketch 109 from the sweetest thing blog for the inspiration for this card. The stamp is from Stamping Bella, SU! paper, and the vine on the bottom is from the hostess Apple Blossum set by SU! I may also use this as my 3rd card for an upcoming Stamp a stack in May that myself and some friends are hosting. Participants make 24 cards in a day, 12 different designs, leave a comment if you want details!

Beerafella

Here is another of the 4 cards. I wanted to do a masculine card, they are always a little harder to do. The patterned paper is from My Mind's Eye and the stamp is by Stamping Bella. I colored it with SU! markers, espresso, baja breeze, pumpkin pie and daffodil delight.

Morning Cup

I've been working on some cards for a stamp-a-stack that we'll be doing in Windsor in May. Here are 2 of the 4 cards, I love these little coffee and tea mugs, but the caption is the best (and the truth). This is the morning cup set from Stampin Up!

Bellarific Friday

So, I finally made a card last night for the first time in forever!! I followed the sketch for Bellarific Friday this week and wanted to keep the background simple to let the stamped image take center stage! I embossed the balloon, then painted it with twinkling H2O's, then added ranger glossy effects on the daisy. I love pink and orange together, this is for a little girls bday that my kids are invited to this weekend.

Jack's crayon wallet

I made another one of these wallets for our little friend Jack (he's 4). He'll be starting school in September, so I thought maybe he could practice his letters in the little notepad. I found some robot/space stickers at Michael's, then decided he needed his wallet to be a space theme to go with the stickers!

Canvas Art

I wanted to make a little something special for Claire, since her 9th birthday is on Thursday. She loves to get "homemade" items, and since she sees everything I make, I wanted to try something I've never done before. I had an extra 8x8 canvas, painted it yellow, then cut out some felt flowers with my cuttlebug and hand cut the stems. Then I added the butterfly (SU! butterfly die). It's cute, she can hang it in her room, hope she likes it.

Coffee Peeps

I made this card for my friend's birthday with a new stamp from Bella. I used a punched heart from SU! red glitter paper on the cup. Too cute!

Zippered Clutch

Yesterday, after making a sunglass case for Michelle, I was still in the mood to make a little project so I made this clutch. I follow a blog called Noodlehead, and she has some fabulous tutorials on her blog, one of which is this clutch. So for my first attempt it's not bad, I made a few mistakes (mostly the zipper, only my 3rd time placing a zipper) so I think I know how to correct it the next time. Charlotte has claimed this one already, so I'll soon try the pattern again and hopefully no mistakes!

SSSC 106 and a new Bella stamp

My new Bella stamps arrived last week, so I decided to use Little Peeps Birthday Cake for the Sweet Sunday Sketch Challenge today. My oldest daughter's bday is in March, and she said she really liked this stamp, so now I must hide this card away until her big day! This card covers the SSSC challenge, and also the Bloggabella challenge to use the color aquamarine in a card. Hope you're having a good day!

2 more pairs of thrum mitts

I finished the teal thrum mitts last night, and the burgundy ones a little while ago. Thought I'd show you these colors, I especially love the teal ones. These mitts are a bit slow going, adding each little thrum, but I love the end result. And in the winter, there's lots of late night tv I like to watch, so that's when I knit. Have a good day!

We're back from Barbados

We just got back from our trip today, it was lots of fun! The weather was great, lovely beaches, friendly people. This is the beach that was across the street from the villa we rented. Anyhow, back to the cold weather, but what a treat to get away for a week!

SSSC 103

Here is a card I made for a birthday party Claire is going to today. The background paper is new from My Mind's Eye and the stamp is Stamping Bella. I colored with prismacolor pencils, used some glitter ritz on the cupcake and copic spica pens on her headband and clothes. I used today's sketch from the Sweetest Thing blog.
