Halloween Tree!!!

Halloween Tree!!!
The svg file is from SVGcuts dot com.  This seemed fitting for 2020.  I had previously made 2 for Christmas.  I had wanted to make one of these trees for several years.  But each time I thought about it, it was near Christmas & I didn’t have the time to devote to it.  But 2020 gave me plenty of time, so I made three of them.  😉  The [...]

Christmas trees!!!
I had wanted to make this tree for the past few years.  But it looked like a labor intensive project & I always thought of making it in December… when I didn’t have that much time to spare.  So this became a perfect quarantine 2020 project.  I couldn’t decide whether to make a green one or a white one.  But hey, it’ [...]

Mah Jongg Christmas Ornaments
I’m new to Mah Jongg.  Only been playing about 4 years.  But I love it.  And I love the ladies & the camaraderie.  This year, I made Christmas ornaments for my Mah Jongg ladies.  I used some white paint I had on hand.  Initially, it was good.  But then over a few days, I noticed the paint on some of the ornamants was “fading&# [...]

Mother’s Day For Motherless Daughters
This Sunday is Mother’s Day.  It can be a difficult day for many, including those of us whose mothers are no longer living.  One thing I’ve done each year since my mother passed (ok, I did forget one year…) is to send a Mother’s Day card to one of her best friends.  My mother & Kay traveled often together, including several cruises.

Easter Gifts – Post It Note Holders
I wanted to make something for our sisters who live out of town.  So it had to be easy and (fairly) inexpensive to mail, since I was sending eight of them out.  On Pinterest, I found this project & thought it was cute. It also seemed like it would be inexpensive to put together, fairly inexpensive to mail and would withstand going acros [...]

Christmas crafts
Ok so recently, I found some new Facebook groups (ugh…  they are SO not like the more (normally) drama free, cozy message boards from days of yore…) devoted to Cricut (an electronic home/hobbyist/personal die cutting machine).  With the recent release of the Cricut Maker, people new to Cricut are buying them up & trying to lea [...]

Halloween cards 2013
I made two of these. One for one of my sisters & one for my sister-in-law. The “outer” paper is from Spooksville by The Paper Studio. The “inner” paper is digital – from Harvest Moon Halloween Mega Kit (Jessica Sprague). But I “lightened” it by only printing it at 38%. The bat on the inside is a [...]
