One of two Grinch quilts made for Christmas for the little ladybugs

It was a great 2011 Christmas season! I managed to completing two quilts for my little guys before Christmas. They are made with the How the Grinch Stole Christmas fabric line. A wonderful warm flannel fabric and cute grinchy love!

 

Its a new year and the sewing machine is taking a well deserved break now. I’m attending a metal smithing course on weekends and am excited to be learning how to make a sterling silver band ring. Here’s to 2012 and learning new things.

 

Hope you have a great weekend.

Hope you had a great 2011

I think this is called a bracket fungi

It was nice to take a little time to enjoy nature with one of my boys. We found this on a tree and had fun taking some pictures.

Coastal flooding

Not too long ago we had a storm associated with higher than normal tides. We experienced some coastal flooding. We took this picture in our neighbourhood.

Have a great day,

Love the three ladybugs

It was a lot of fun to create this costume and to keep the cost down I used all items found at Value Village. I started with a used dragon costume from Value Village. Created and hand-sewed the shell and cones on the back.  My sewing machine was used to create the arm bands and facial features. We think it turned out great!

Have a Happy Halloween everyone!!!

Love the Three Ladybugs!

Barrel stave herb sign

 

I have a very small herb garden in my backyard, it is home to oregano, thyme, lemon balm and also a grape vine. There are some other plants crammed in like poppy, strawberry and dead nettle. It has been looking pretty shaggy, so I decided to put up a sign to show that it is actually an herb garden and not a weed garden! :)

The sign is created from a vintage barrel stave from Newfoundland. My husband said it was special to him so I thought I should use it for something we would see frequently. I used my cricut to create a stencil and painted the words Fresh Herbs on the stave.

I am quite pleased with the results. Hope you enjoy.

 

Have a great day,
