Pink blog candy

Oh boy, I spend so much time looking at so many lovely blogs. This one is very pretty and full of stamping inspiration. But mostly it's lots of yummy pink!
(Oh, and there's a give-away too!)

Why I was late for work...

Words Of Comfort

Still busy putting together the Comfort Dolls. Thought I would share the tag that goes with each one. (This was on the Comfort Doll website)If you click on the Comfort Doll link to the right, you will see so many lovely dolls that are created by loving hands all over the world.

"I am a comfort doll. I was made especially for you by a woman's heart and hands who cares. When you need strength or just a smile, hold me and feel the love I send. Like me, you are unique, worthy, beautiful, and deserve all good things in life. You have the strength within yourself to be extraordinary. Find the strength and shine! Comfort Dolls.......Creating with our hands, Giving with our hearts"

Sew on and sew forth

I love to spend time at the sewing machine and have just finished a new apron. Isn't this fabric pretty! I made the apron to wear at my first Creative Workshop that I will be teaching at a local women's shelter.

I have also been making little Comfort Dolls too. I have a widget on the right side of my blog, if you click on it you will learn about Comfort Dolls. These I am making by hand, except the hair. As much as I enjoy my sewing machine, sewing small things by hand is very restful and sure beats eating in front of the TV! Here are the first two of many dolls I hope to make.

My Dream House

Button Frame

Ever wonder what to do with all those buttons? Here's a simple idea. Inexpensive picture frame, lots of glue sticks and a little patience.

Santa Matilde

This is my traveling angel. I made her for a dear friend who lives across the pond. The base is a small clip-board and I embelished it with papers, ribbon, buttons & lace. She took me about two weeks. I would lay all the pieces out and then go back to her every now & again and move pieces around until I was happy with the final design. (Now I know why I keep even the little scraps!)

Amazingly, I posted three times today! Please check out the other two posts below!

All this for $10!

Went to the church thrift shoppe this morning. Needed a little retail therapy! Came home with about 50 doll making magazines, many with patterns, a box of assorted craft supplies, another nice little tin and.....a George Foreman grill (that was only $2!)

I have been thinking about getting a GF grill but really didn't want to spend the money but how can I beat $2! The craft supplies were all jumbled up in a box but I could see the potential and found lots of stuff I can use.

Another Angel!

I've been busy crocheting again! Just participated in a crochet-a-long on MaryJane's Farm. We all made this sweet little angel afghan. I learned how to crochet following a chart which is new to me but I enjoyed it and this was a good project to learn on.
Here is the link to the pattern if you would like it.
