I TOOK TWO PICTURES OF THIS SINCE I CUT OFF THE BOTTOM WORD IN THIS ONE.


AND I CUT OFF THE TOP IN THIS ONE. TRYING TO GET CLOSE ENOUGH TO SEE WITHOUT CLICKING. THE PINK BUTTONS ARE VINTAGE GLASS. SINCE I HAVE SO MANY BUTTONS I THOUGHT I WOULD USE SOME OF THEM IN THIS PROJECT.

THIS PAGE IS PRETTY PLAIN SINCE THE FABRIC WAS SO BUSY. IT HAS FOUR POCKETS, AND I SEE NOW THAT I DID NOT MAKE THE TOP TWO DEEP ENOUGH. THE PICTURES COME OUT AND THEY ARE LAMINATED AND TWO SIDED.

AS YOU CAN SEE IN THIS PICTURE. THE TWO ON THE BOTTOM ARE THE TWO YOUNGEST AND I TURNED THEM OVER SO YOU CAN SEE WHAT THE BACKS LOOK LIKE. I WAS GOING TO PUNCH A HOLE IN THE TOP AND ATTACH A RIBBON BUT I'M STILL THINKING ABOUT IT.

THERE IS A LOT OF FREEDOM WITH THIS BOOK AS YOU CAN GO BACK LATER AND ADD THINGS. I WAS READING ONE OF MY ISSUES OF CLOTH,PAPER,SCISSORS AND I SAW AN

ADD FOR PENTEL FABRIC PEN.....QUESTION, HAVE YOU USED THEM OR SOMETHING SIMILAR ? I NEED PENS THAT WILL WRITE ON FABRIC AND I AM NOT SURE WHICH ONES WOULD WORK THE BEST.

Hope everyone had a wonderful Thanksgiving. We sure did. We stayed home, I cooked a ham, we had fresh oyster dressing, sweet potatoes, broccoli, and cranberry sauce. I baked an apple and cranberry pie, which was my aunt Helen's recipe. Very good!

Now it is time to start thinking about Christmas.

Remember to give thanks everyday not just on THANKSGIVING

Three pages in the making

THE QUOTE IS BACKWARDS, SOMEHOW IT FLIPPED WHEN I TOOK A PICTURE???? IT SAYS, 'WHEN YOU SEE THE CREATION, YOU HAVE SEEN THE CREATOR'.

IT IS HARD TO SEE THE LACE AT THE BOTTOM BECAUSE OF THE LACE TABLE CLOTH UNDER THE PAGE. THIS ONE HAS BIRDS, FLOWERS, NATURE THINGS.


THESE LAST TWO ARE NOT FINISHED... I WILL BE ADDING BEADS, RIBBON, BUTTONS, AND ANYTHING ELSE THAT I FIND THAT I THINK WILL LOOK GOOD. UNDER THE PICTURE OF THE FAIRY IT SAYS," GIVE YOUR DREAMS WINGS".

THIS IS A BABY PICTURE OF ME. IT HAS A LOT OF THINGS TO GO ON IT YET. I DID A TRAPUNTO EFFECT ON THE PINK AND WHITE FLOWER BUT IT DOES NOT SHOW UP IN THIS PHOTO.

NO PAGES WERE WORKED ON TODAY.

IT WAS A WORK DAY AT OUR CHURCH. ONCE A MONTH THE LADIES COOK AND SELL CHICKEN DINNERS AS A FUND RAISER, AND THIS WAS THE DAY.

SINCE THE WEEK-END IS COMING UP I PROBABLY WILL BE BUSY WITH THE YARD AND CHURCH SO NO CRAFTING TILL NEXT WEEK.

EACH DAY IS A GIFT FROM GOD, WHAT WE DO WITH IT IS OUR GIFT TO HIM.

MAKE TIME TO WORSHIP!

Very Short Post

STAYING TRUE TO MY WORD, AND KEEPING IT SHORT.
I WANT TO TRY AND KEEP UP WITH THE PAGES FOR MY CLOTH BOOK AS I DO THEM.
THIS IS A PICTURE OF MY PARENTS AND ME AND IT HAS BEEN LAMINATED SO IT CAN BE REMOVED.

THIS IS MY GRANDMOTHER (mom's mother) AND THE PICTURE IS A TRANSFER (iron on) HOWEVER THE POEM SHE WROTE HAS BEEN LAMINATED WITH A RIBBON ATTACHED SO IT CAN BE REMOVED FROM IT'S POCKET.
THE POEM IS HERS AND IT IS A COPY OF HER HANDWRITING. IT IS ABOUT HANGING QUILTS ON THE LINE TO AIR. I HAVE POSTED IT BEFORE SO I DID NOT WANT TO REPEAT IT.

IT IS DOUBLE SIDED BUT I DID NOT TAKE A PICTURE OF THE BACK. THE RED SHUTTLE BELONGED TO HER.

TRY AND HAVE A CREATIVE AND FUN DAY, BE A BLESSING TO SOMEONE.

YESTERDAYS WORK

YOU CAN HAVE THE CHANGING OF THE COLORS NO MATTER WHERE YOU LIVE ....IF YOU HAVE THE RIGHT TREES. WE WERE TOLD THIS IS A SASSAFRAS TREE, IT IS THE ONLY ONE ON OUR THREE ACERS. THIS AREA IS WHERE OUR FRONT YARD MEETS THE WOODS, ALL OF THE AREA WHERE YOU SEE LEAVES WE HAVE CLAIMED BY CUTTING BACK THE TREES.

THIS IS WHERE WE WORKED YESTERDAY.

THIS IS WHAT WE CUT DOWN. NOTHING GOES TO WASTE, THIS WOOD WILL BE GIVEN TO OUR PASTOR WHO HAS A WOOD BURNING FIREPLACE.

NOW ON TO SOMETHING I ENJOY MORE THAN CUTTING TREES, (WHICH IS HARD WORK) PLANTING FLOWERS.THE WHITE ONES ARE CALLED SILVER FOG EUPHORBIA IT IS AN ANNUAL AND IS DEER RESISTANT. THE ORANGE ONE IS CORAL TWIN SPUR, FLYING COLORS.

AND OF COURSE NO NAME IS NEEDED HERE. I JUST LOVE PANSIES. THIS IS THE TIME OF YEAR FOR THEM HERE. THEY WILL BLOOM FOR QUITE A LONG TIME. ALSO PUT THEM ALONG THE WALK WAY.

SO THERE YOU HAVE A DAY IN THE YARD, IT LOOKS LIKE RAIN HERE SO WHAT A GOOD TIME TO WORK ON THE CLOTH BOOK.

***********************************************************************

WHATEVER YOU FIND TO DO TODAY I HOPE YOU HAVE FUN

AND BE A BLESSING TO SOMEONE.

First Cloth Book

I AM SURE YOU WILL HAVE TO CLICK ON THESE PICTURES TO BE ABLE TO REALLY SEE THEM GOOD. LIGHT IS ALWAYS A PROBLEM FOR ME WHEN TAKING PICTURES IN OUR HOUSE. I LAID MY PIECES ON A CHAIR, THUS THE FLOWERS IN THE BACKGROUND. THIS IS MY VERY FIRST ATTEMPT AT A CLOTH BOOK. PICTURE # 1 IS THE COVER, AND THEN THEY GO IN ORDER. THIS PICTURE ON THE FIRST PIECE IS MY MOTHERS GRANDPARENTS.

THIS SECOND PICTURE IS MY MOTHER WITH HER BROTHERS AND SISTER, MOM AND DAD. MY MOTHER IS ON THE FAR RIGHT.

THE THIRD PAGE IS A BABY PICTURE OF MY GRANDMOTHER.

THIS FOURTH PAGE IS JUST A FUN PIECE I POSTED IT BEFORE BUT I DID NOT HAVE THE LETTERS OR SOME OF THE BUTTONS ON YET.

TODAY WOULD HAVE YIELDED MORE PAGES BUT HONEY WAS HOME AND HE HAD THE CHAIN SAW OUT SOOOO, WE CUT DOWN A FEW TREES. THEY WERE NOT GROWING STRAIGHT AND REALLY WERE UNATTRACTIVE. I DID NOT THINK OF TAKING PICTURES UNTIL WE WERE DONE.

Hope you are all having a beautiful fall, it is picture perfect here, for now.

Be BLESSED and creative.

Cat Shelter and Projects

WINTER IS HERE ! We have three outdoor cats and when winter gets here we have to provide a shelter out of the cold for them. This is a white metal baby bed with one of the sides removed. I formed a top with a large piece of cardboard closed the back and ends in, put an electric blanket on and covered it with a very fuzzy blanket. Our Manz, Sweetie could not wait to try it out.
****************************************************

This was made for our daughter that lives in Illinois. She loves the Keys and lived there for a time years ago. One of her favorite places to go was Coco Plum beach. We stayed in a condo on that beach when we went down and I picked up this sand and some shells so I put this together with a picture of her on that beach when she lived there.

This is a work in progress, the letters PEACE will go down the strip on the right side and maybe a few more things will be added. I am going to try my hand at making a fabric art journal. It is 8x12.
**********************************************************




This wonderful cigar box was given to me by daughter #one, it is 3 1/2 " high and 8 1/2 " wide, 6" deep and made of wood. I plan to convert it but I wanted to wait until I finished the cloth journal but you know how that goes........I'll probably have them both going at the same time.
No one else does that I'm sure. Right?

CREATE IN ME A CLEAN HEART, O GOD; AND RENEW A RIGHT SPIRIT WITHIN ME.
CAST ME NOT AWAY FROM THY PRESENCE; AND TAKE NOT THY HOLY SPIRIT FROM ME. RESTORE UNTO ME THE JOY OF THY SALVATION; AND UPHOLD ME WITH THY FREE SPIRIT. THEN WILL I TEACH TRANSGRESSORS THY WAYS; AND SINNERS SHALL BE CONVERTED UNTO THEE. Psalm 51:10,11,12.
