2 cards

I made 2 cards last weekend- birthdays at church.

The little sewing girl is for a friend that quilts- her home is decorated in vintage style. The images are from- Graphics Fairy. I background stamped the paisley- then used colored pencils and blended all over.

the circle card is for a friend in Sunday school class

the images are stamped I loved the bright colors.

Goodbye card

Our Claims operations director is moving to Georgia- her last day is next Friday.

I made this card for her. The robin and the nest images are from Graphics Fairy. The journal oval from Creative delights, I tinted the flowers and added ribbon and stickles.

my first embellished Tshirt

My husband took me clothes shopping and I saw a gorgeous T shirt; apricot colored with gauzy flowers and ribbons embellishing it.$30 dollars- way more that I wanted to spend on a bit of thin cotton jersey. So I found a few Tshirts for 6.99 and here's my first try at making my own decorated clothes.

I plan to wear it to my nephew's baby shower tomorrow.

ABC SC11

I made another scripture card for Patter's ABC Scripture challenge- E is for Easy.

the journal block and tag are from Peppermint creative; the yoke from Clipart ETC, a great site. I had read in a novel that when the Romans conquered a town they made the people walk under a raised yoke, indicating that they were under the Romans rule. That I have passed under the yoke of my Lord Jesus; I am under His control and  He has complete authority over me is a wonderful and awesome thing. Thanks Patter for a great way to combine crafting and proclaiming Christ at work in me.

Crocheted baby blankets

I finished my 3rd baby blanket this week; they are all for co workers.

The first is a ripple pattern for a young man at work whose wife is expecting their first baby in April. I call it April Showers. Blue, gray and white for a little boy.

The next one is in  V- stitch, for a coworker having a girl.
I call it Baby Sherbet- Pink, peach and white -yum

Last Baby Neapolitan again using V stitch with a shell border for a first grandbaby of a coworker.

I enjoy the V stitch it goes quickly, I just heard yesterday that my nephew's wife is having  baby- gender will be a surprise- so I guess I will be making another blanket soon.

ABC Scripture Challenge

I made 2 pages today, Confidence and Delight.

My confidence is placed securely on Christ and what He did for me on Calvary. And I delight in His law of love.

Little sewing project

I saw some dish towels in a store that were white with a red fabric band sewn on them- they wanted more that I wanted to pay, so I dragged out my sewing machine and made my own. Now doing dishes is nicer.
