Making Punkins

My latest endeavor to create are these cute stuffed fabric pumpkins for your holiday decoration. They are fairly simple to make so I made two of

them yesterday while watching FOX news covering Hurricane Irene. So many of you out there were in the path of this storm and I was worried.

So glad to hear that you are alright!!

These pumpkins are fun to frill up and decorate. I plan to make more, maybe some with fall colored flowers on top also.

I tried to keep this one all tans, white and off white and used a quilted fabric for the base. Can't decide which I liked best.

Last week I had the honor of going to our local Expo Center and watching the touring Airforce entertainers of "Tops in Blue".. the theme this year was Rytham Nation. They sang songs beginning with WWI all the way to present and then their dedication to the 911 tragedy. If you are hungering for patriotism, you must go. I haven't missed a year since they started coming to our area, and hope I never miss one in the future. Outstanding.

Chair, Table Topper & Birdcage Finds

Last weekend I went shopping at my local Emporium and found some goodies I wanted to share with you. First, this lovely handmade crochet table topper was in perfect condition except for a teeny hole in the top of the fabric. Well, heck, " I can cover that up with a pot of roses", was my thinking and well, here it is. So lovely!! And so much work went into this.

Then I spotted this wonderful wing back chair in ghastly colors of dark green, orange, white and tan,but oh well, I thought, "I can cover that up with the pink rose sheets I have at home and then take it off for fall if I want to decorate with fall colors."

And wha-la, here it is all together, isn't she lovely all dressed in roses? I love it.

THEN, I saw this cute little bird cage for $11.00 and just HAD to have it with the thought,"I will paint that white", but I kind of like it like it is right now. Fall coming and everything. But eventually it will probably turn white.

Wanted to show you some more cards I made and will be listing on Etsy soon. Love making them, I'm hooked on this paper. Fairies, butterflies and roses.

And a note to Rebecca, thank you for your sweet words to me, you gave me a new bright light in my life. God is there for us all I know!!! You are such a lovely lady, thank you!!

Card Making Party

Last weekend Tammy and I had a card making extravaganza and had so much fun creating with this beautiful butterfly paper. I love the fairies and the butterflies.

There are so many different ways you can use this paper and with all the ribbon and embellishments who wouldn't want to receive a card like this?

This may be one of my favorites. Thanks Mel!!!

We always have a great time visiting and creating when we have one of these at her beautiful home and its a good time to regenerize for me!!!

This is a little note card Tammy made, isn't it sweet with the little butterfly with bling on the ribbon bow?

This is me in action, surrounded by some of my favorite things!!

And Tammy is hard a work creating her beautiful cards. See the teacup tray to her right? She made us tea and muffins to enjoy while we were lavishing in our work.

We had a beautiful rain last night, so refreshing after our 50 days of over 100 degree weather. Hopefully that over.

Rosey Table Cloth

I wanted to show my new bedspread, well, not so new, I purchased it at the thrift store, I am in love with anything roses. I have been wanting one to put on my dining room table and it is just the right size. I know it is sort of silly to put a blanket on a table, but I like how it looks, what do you think?

I keep this table set all the time for tea and it really makes the room brighten up. Aren't the rose buds cute in the tea cups? Just learned how to fold those, they are so easy. Just lay the napkin out flat and from one corner start folding till all folded over then roll the strip you have folded and place in cup. Instant rose.

The blanket also makes a good backdrop for picture taking, such as the picture below. I had mentioned I joined Karlas Cottage Birdsong tag party and I received my book from Karla this week.

We each made 6 tags with a bird theme and sent them to her, then she made a cover tag for us and sent them back as a book of tags. There are some talented ladies out there. I received some beautiful ones.

Hope I got one of yours back!!! Thanks Karla for a fun tag party again. Love her parties.

She does such a wonderful job on everything she touches. She is such a beautiful artist. Be sure to check out her blog.

Tammy and I are going to make cards tomorrow so can't wait to show you what we come up with. I know it will be fun and a sweet mother/daughter memory time.
