New Projects & Patterns & Hats & Foot stool Coversrs

 I designed this lavender hat. It has a pillbox look with a gathered back and some bling on the side, I changed the bling a bit and added a bow behind it. I am going to use the fabric to make a "puff" insert so that it will sit higher on my head. :) I couldn't make up my mind which one to use so I am using one design on one side and the other on the flip side. :) I love the whimsical turtles...I will be writing up the pattern soon.

This foot stool turned out pretty cool I think. I made a granny square changing colors, added some black and white, and then a ruffle on each side, sewed on some black fringe, added several glass beads, fish and cats [Asian design] for the woeight to hold it down. I love the finished one it shows less of the foot stool under it than you see in the photos. I added a little felt and button on the side too.. that's my ""Blooming Flower Pillow" on the rocker. :)

 Some of my plant covers over chicken cans I got the idea from Attic24 and then I added a ladybug and some flowers and stitched some stems and grass.

I made a t-shirt flower pin, a short tutorial coming on PBDesigns

Attic24 inspired me to make her tin can covers for my plants

I used my colored tape to tape the edges

decided my African Violets would love their new cover

doesn't it look cute

then I decided to go a step further and cover my water bottles that
I use for my sprouting

so I added a butterfly button 

a little pink ruffle around the top see the water inside

thought about using it for my flower pens???

and added a little red sparkle

it looks so cute

heres what it looks like with out a cover

all snazzed up on my window shelf

now I need to make one for this other one

my smaller one on the shelf with plant in it

New Projests, Swaps, Birthday Cakes, and Pond Plants

This is a chimes I designed [see the post below for close up shots at the beginning of making it]and made the tails out of plastic tablecloth and below is a post card I got from my quote card swapper friends.

This is the cake I got my g-son for his 12th birthday

The candles were the ones that keep coming back on and look at the plants around my pond! Wow...they have gotten so tall...and one of them are still blooming...look how pretty in pink it is...

wow what a view through all the plants looking at the falls

and my anniversary flowers from my DH.. :)

these were taken over Labor Day at our cabin, this little guy came to visit and I caught him about 50' up the tree

look at my shopping find! What shall I make??? hmmm....so many new goodies... :)
