I just don't get it!

Maybe some one can let me in on the secret.

I have been spending some time this spring and summer helping my mom do some craft shows to try to sell her home made cards. These cards are beautiful! Each one hand made even down to the papers on some of them. They are creative and each one is a little work of art. Unfortunately she has not been selling well at the craft shows but I think she needs to be at art shows. Her stuff is just too high end for a regular craft show. Anyways, back to what I don't get....

The last show we did, in the booth next to us was a woman who knitted and crochet wash clothes, sweaters, slippers, baby blankets and these

These things sold like hot cakes! People were crawling all over her booth buying these in huge stacks!

I just don't get it. I find these to be some of the ugliest things ever. Maybe some one can shed some light as to why people love these. I must be missing some thing!

Bye!

It's been awhile....

I know. It's been quite awhile since I've posted but I have a good reason.



Isn't he precious?! I've been spending all of my extra time with him. Our first grand baby. He's so awesome, we just love him. I have not gotten any sewing done these last few months. I haven't even finished his quilt yet. Bad grandma I know. I do need to re pin the quilt sandwich together because of a large wrinkle that I thankfully found before starting the quilting. I will fix that and get it quilted soon then I have a whole list of things I want to make. The list should keep me going for awhile. In the mean time I just wanted to post these photos to share how beautiful Alec Daniel is.







The happy family.





Soon I will share some finished projects.

Bye!

Hello!

Hello! I wanted to do a post on decorations I made for Susan's graduation party. Yep, you heard me correctly, Susan had graduated high school! Now in a few months she will move into the next phase of her life, motherhood. In the beginning of August she will have baby boy Alec Daniel and can you believe I am blocked on his quilt..... I know! I really need to get moving on it. I didn't even get Susan's graduation quilt done yet.....I know! So here is a picture of the beautiful graduate.



This is Susan with one of her closest friends Katie. We just love Katie and she has been such a good friend to Susan. I made her a quilt for her graduation gift and she loved it! I was so glad too.



So on to the party decorations. I got these from a tutorial on the blog Made. I love this blog and check it every day. These decorations were a big hit! I even made some ruffled streamers for our friends that live across the street for their little girls 5th birthday party.









I love how it turned out. Susan took all the decoration pictures and she did such a nice job. She takes great photos!

Here are the streamers I made for the birthday party.



I love the color combo on it. they loved them too and they were perfect for her rainbow theme.

Here are the photos we put out for Susan's party.





So that is it! We did it! Ummmm, I mean they did it YAY!



Bye!
