Bathroom remodel

We started this remodel of my Daddy's bathroom a year ago. Then he got sick and passed away.
We still have towel racks to hang and some trim work to do but it is quite a transformation.

It was nice 40 years ago.

Sorry about the yellow tint.
I wish he could have seen it completed but he did get to see it in the works.

Christmas Apron

I made 2 of these Christmas aprons for my sister-in-laws. They both took about 30min. I saw something similar on Craftzine. I used a cup towel and wire ribbon, I removed the wire and sewed the ribbon to the towel. They loved it. Heck I love it!

I'm Back!

I have been neglecting my Blog for way too long! Christmas has been a whirlwind of crafts and family. I hope to have lots of pics in the next few days.
I hope everyone had a blessed Christmas.
Mine was a little sad because my Daddy is no longer here with us, but I believe he is now in a wonderful place where Cancer and Pain can touch him no more.

The New Year is coming and I have new afghan I am going to make.
I am so excited, it has palm trees on it and looks like it will take me awhile to finish.
I also have an idea for another project that I will share later. As usual I will have several things going at once.
Take care and I will post more later!

Christmas gift


This is the afghan I made for my son for Christmas. I can't remember where I got the pattern, it's too late and I'm sleepy.
If you are interested let me know and I will dig it up. The colors are perfect for his new apartment. I made it longer than the original pattern so he can pull it all the way up to his chin and still have his feet covered.

Our New Employee

This little guy is our newest addition to the wildlife at work. We knew someone was raiding the birdfeeder at night but now we know who.
On a friday afternoon he's the busiest of us all.

Garbage Purse




Ok most people call these candy wrapper purses or potato chip bag purses, I call it my garbage purse. I will use just about anything to make these from Huggies diaper wrappers to Miracle Grow potting soil bags. I really like making them, they are so easy and I can do it while I'm watching TV. I have become addicted. I can't throw away a perfectly good piece of garbage anymore! Do you think I need a support group? Maybe I will form one myself.
I could call it GPCA Garbage Purse Collectors Anonymous.

Mommmmy!!!!


Mommy?
When I saw this little tree frog next to my big tree frog I had to grab my camera. Looks like he's looking to Mommy to protect him.
I love frogs but tree frogs are my favorite.
