Today is not my birthday, but this is truly my birthday week. My daughter, Brandi, used to celebrate the week of my birthday every year. She would bring a diet coke to work, leave me a sweet message on my phone, send me cards, or simply call and tell me she loves me. I miss her so much! But now, I treat myself to some sweet little indulgences. On Saturday, hubby bought me a new camera. So now if my pictures are horrible, you can blame the photographer, not the camera!
I have been pushing myself for some spring items. Its hard, since we have a foot of snow on the ground. I made this oh, so sweet, rag wreath:
These are so easy, and if you sew alot like I do, this is perfect for you. I had purchased a Christmas wreath last year, primarily for the pine on it. I cut all the pine from it to use on my wrapped candy canes. I kept the metal form and simply tied these scraps of fabric on it. The fabric is cut about 8 inches in length and an inch or so in width. I cut all my small scraps into rag strips for use in wreaths and garlands.....which brings me to my second project:
These are the same fabrics that I used on the wreath and are simply tied to a 20 strand of lights.
I also finished a couple of dolls:
And five pillows! Here are a couple of them:
I also made some "Don't snicker" Easter bars, some textured tea lites, and some peat pots. I have several bunnies in process. So, I guess they won't be finishing themselves. Better get busy!
