Some Hand Made Goodness!



Here it is two weeks since my last post and I said I would do better!  UGH...
Anyway, you know how I have been so excited about the wantobe quilter campaign, well I finally decided to try my hand at a few things!  
Like the mug rug made from Canning Day fabric from Connecting Threads!


Here's another one!

Here is an owl block from a tutorial over at buzzingandbumbling!  Thanks for sharing, Linda!
The link is here!  I used fabric that I had from both Jo-Ann's and 
Connecting Threads!  I have to say he was so fun to make!  It was a little difficult for me to follow directions!
You do know I am a little challenged when it comes to following the directions or rules!  UGH...
It's so hard to follow them when you know your way is right, isn't?  Anway, I have a new best friend...the seam ripper!


And then came these wonderful baskets!  I have so much fun making them!  I used up scraps from Sunkissed from Sweetwater and Canning Days from Connecting Threads!  I am going to use these for gifts!  A Basketfull of Love!  They will have a mug rug, a mug, some goodies to eat and drink! 
I am so sorry I didn't post this before, but I couldn't remember where I got the tutorial for the baskets until I read cuttopieces the other day!  Thanks Angela!  The tutorial comes from pinkpenguin!  Thanks Ayumi!  Sorry I forgot to post this!

Anyway, I just wanted share!  I also have started a flickr account to put these handmade goodies on!
Thanks for reading!

Wherever you are Whatever you are doing I hope you are having a wonderfully happy day!

Hi There!


Hi!  I know it has been forever since I really posted!  It has been an absolute crazy summer here!
Yesterday I posted a picture of some home made July 4th things!  I made them for my sister-in-law's birthday!
She absolutely loved them all!  
Here is the big picture, a picture at  a time!!!

Miss Liberty!  
She is one of my originals!  I make a bigger version of her, too!  I love her!

 I made Connie this mug rug!  I found the mug at Kohl's!  I wanted a July 4th mug but the were sold out!!!
 Here is a patchwork basket I made from a tutorial over at pinkpenguin!  
I switched out 12 of the square blocks for 6 long ones!

Here is a pillow made from a pattern over at Kalico Kreations
They are so fun and fast!  Love them! 

Just for fun I threw in this chicken potholder!
I found the pattern for this in the 101 Patchwork Projects and Quilts!
I must say I had fun making this! 

 I will leave you today with something yummy!
This is a recipe from Nestle called S'More Brownies! You can find it here!



Wherever you are whatever you are doing I hope you have a wonderfully happy day!!!
