Parcels

Whoooo hoooo! Parcels have been flooding in! I 've been waiting for some of these for quite awhile around four weeks. Not being a patient person it felt much longer. Ready to see what's inside...... ok I'll show you:)

A whole lot of new fabric for me to get working on bug quilt for the big bitty, snowman pillow for christmas, vintage fabric for a quilt for myself, ABC quilt for the little bitty. How I love getting parcels in the mailbox.

Gramdma's love

Some of my grammy's embroidery which I just received from my mom on a recent visit. This is what has been inspiring me to learn how since I was a  a little girl. Now I on the hunt for the perfect vintage fabric to turn these into cherished wall hangings.

This one is my latest project I'm still working on for Sara. Her stitching angel update will be out tomorrow over at thesplitstitch.com looking forward to every ones progress.

part II

Yes this rug is taking awhile, not because it's really difficult. In fact it's so easy and goes by so quickly. It just keeps getting pushed aside because of so many other projects. Can u believe five t-shirts have already gone into this project so far. Back to the cutting board for this momma we need more shirt strip yarn!

One of the culprits, this perfect newborn baby pink blanket. Such a yummy color makes me want a bunch of cotton candy. What a very rare peaceful moment sitting in a little speckle of sunshine working while the little bittys are away. Crocheting, sunshine and a mug a tea if only I had one of Sara's mug rugs.....no no more projects;) lol are there really ever too many? I don't think so.

Here's a sneak peek of a new wip that's been swimming around my mind for a long time. Any guesses as to what it might be? Also just finished another embroidery piece for Sara at thesplitstitch.com, will add pictures when I can get some good lighting.

Update

Flower pillow done I love how it turned out wish the lighting was better.It's a much prettier pink.

This is a new wip, crochet t-shirt rug.....to be continued,

My trusty little pin cushion, made from a old candle holder. ( In the back ground are a baby quilt and flower afghan both thrifty finds) Happy crafting:)

Thrifty finds

This little cookie jar is so sweet and was so perfect for my vintage kitchen. I saw her sitting on the shelf so lonely and had to have her. Such mushroomy cuteness had to be mine. Don't dispare she now sit lovingly on my kitchen shelf full of treats for two my two little bittys. 

While searching for a pretty little hook to safely place my rings, while doing my many many loads of dishes. I came acrossed this red and green painted brass rose. My crafty heart saw her potential and had to snatch her up into my basket. When I got her home I went straight to my craft room to pick a color to transform her into her present glory. Not yet having the flowery box in my kitchen window, she brightens up my sudsy chores. 

One of my favourite finds was found by my husband. Who walked in the door and proudly lifted up this curly leafy metal piece. Which I instantly loved not only for the adorable hubby who thought it was made for me. He looks so handsome up there under Mr morning rooster. 

projects old and new

Here are a couple project I've finished lately....This one was inspired from another blogger. If you know who let me know so I can thank them.

Now how do I decided which WIP to move on to. I can never stick to just one. I start a couple then get inspired with another idea. I have a bit of a pile starting to grow.

This fairy is one of my favorites.

Another beauty I found on a fellow blogger site "two girls being crafty"In the end it will be a giant flower pillow.
