4 New Pictures

This morning I added 5 new pictures to the Farm Girl Vintage Sew along.

Just about finished!  Only two more to go. Looking forward to putting them all together.

Saying Thank You

Last weekend, some of my friends make it possible for me to go to the Great Lakes Scrapbooking Mega Meet held in Novi, MI each year. They arranged for Don's sister to spend the day with him so that I could go. It is always so much fun to see and experience the new things that are on the market.

This was my "thank you" card that I made for my sister-in-law who spent the day with Don. The  two of them had a good time together. It is very similar to the card that I made for my last card class. I sponged a very light oval onto the white card stock (using Primrose Petal ink) which I used as a guide for doing my stamping. I used peg stamps from Rubber Stamp Tapestry.

"Quilty Fun" -- Mug Rugs

I am having so much fun with these. I purchased this packet of cute sayings all related to "Quilty Fun" from June Tailor, Inc. I don't remember which of my favorite quilt shops had them, but I have three different sets. Each package has 7 printed statements printed on 100% cotton and seven simple mug rug patterns. Each on has a finished size of 8" x 10".

I have

four finished. Hope you love them as much as I do.

Cards From The April 27 Class

April 27 was the last card class for me. After more than two years I have had to make a very difficult decision. It is hard to explain but as Don's Parkinson's Disease progresses, I need to eliminate stress. Several of the ladies had asked about using peg stamps. I have several sets from Rubber Stamp Tapestry and a number of the stick stamps from Stamps By Judith. It had been a long time since I had these stamps out. It was fun having all these stamps out.

The last card was a very simple, elegant sympathy card. I find that these cards are hard to make but it seems like I am needing more and more. The lilies are from the "Loving Memories" set from Our Daily Bread Designs stamped in Smoky Slate ink from Stampin' Up.
