Some things I have made.

I really had a nice couple days off and was doing some crafting. It seems like I stay so busy with working, so I stepped out of my comfort zone and made something besides bonnets. I made an Easter candle mat,
and a table runner. I love how the table runner turned out, I actually got the tutorial from  Julie, it was an older post. http://julie-countrygirlatheart.blogspot.com/  Thank you Julie for sharing this.
If you notice on my table there is a bunny display made by Becky,    http://primitivesnstitchin.blogspot.com/

and the lamp display from Sheila,   http://seasonsofthyheart.blogspot.com/

Julie, Becky and Sheila are so talented, you need to check out their blogs.

Bonnets I have been working on.

I was so excited to have a couple days off, my BF and I were going to Lancaster, Pa. It didn't work out, so we have postponed it until another time, so I decided to do some sewing. Yes bonnets again, I know everyone must be getting tired of them. I just get so excited when I get some new fabric, I can't wait to see the end result. They are alike but different, each time I make one that one  is my new favorite. He He




  I have also started working on another slate and candle mat. But guess what came in the mail today, more fabric. He He  And I am getting close to 200 followers, I am thinking about what to have for a giveaway prize. So keep watching.

Think Spring!

Today we are getting snow, but in my mind I am thinking of Spring, of the birds singing and the grass getting green, the little baby calves and lambs hopping around in the fields and of beautiful flowers.


Here is a few pictures of my clematis' that I had last year.

Prairie Shelf Sitters and new bonnet!

I have been working alot, so I don't have too much time for crafting. I did get another bonnet made and have started a stitchery. But I did want to post pictures of two shelf sitter dolls that I have made for swaps and my new bonnet..



  I kinda made up the pattern for the shelf sitters myself, I was quite pleased with how they turned out. I was going to keep one for me, but seems like I don't keep my own things. He He
