This is a picture that I photo edited of my grandson Xander in the costume I made for him as Ezio. I hope I spelled the name correctly. He is in the costume lower left (lol). It was fun to create with him. Wonder what this years costume will be. It must have been a hit for him because his friends loved it and wanted to borrow it.

Students learning to make a Lap Quilt

Students sewing pieces together. This student has a broken foot.

This is the very first sewing project this lovely lady has ever done. I didn't have the heart to tell her the pattern wasn't right.

Hello Kitty Jumper


This is a handmade Hello Kitty jumper that i made. It has a wide yoke that has plastic snaps on the back for easy open. machine wash and dry normal.
The Hello Kitty applique is a pocket.
My items can be seen and purchased on Etsy.com.

Mickey Mouse hat to match


This is one of the hats I make to match the pillowcase dresses or jumpers I make. The bow is easily detachable and can switch with bows, flowers etc. I sell them on etsy as well.

Mickey Mouse Pillowcase dress


I remember my Mom making cute pillowcase dresses for me and my sisters when we were young. This is my version. I don't have a little girl. But I love making these dresses and more. The polka dots really say Mickey and Minnie. The hem area is embroidered with the words "Sweet on Mickey". Too cute. The Mickey face is appliqued. I make them in all sizes.

Can't wait to scrapbook vacation pics.

Wednesday, April 1, 2009



This is the first of the two page spread. Lucky...I feel lucky to have these two guys in my life. The shamrocks were cut out with sizzix. (On the light green paper). Then the shamrocks were chalked and pop dotted. The light green paper was sewn to the bottom of the page. The leprechaum is a paper piecing I designed because I couldn't find what I wanted.


This is page two of my two page spread...this is my Grandson. He uses his Charm on us to get what he wants. The paper was cut with scissors to fit the matted picture so that the paper could still show. Charming was cut with cricut and stamped with green ink pad then added stickles.

Give Thanks Blessing Bags

This is what you type for the index card

Blessing Bags Recipe


Blessing Mix

The Bugles are a symbol of the Cornucopia, a horn of plenty.

The Pretzels represents arms folded in thanks and prayer.

The Candy Corn reminds us that during the first winter, the pilgrims were allowed only five kernels of corn per day because food was so scarce.

The Fruit is a reminder that Thanksgiving is the celebration of the harvest.

The Peanuts represent seeds, the potential of the bounteous harvest for the the next season if they are planted and well-tended.
