A possible gift for TJ and Hope Caters


I was waiting for somehting to download and tried this  how cute is this  ..the tray cost me $5 in a goodwill sotre and the paint is the magnetic and the chaulkboard...it would look so cute in their front window!! what do you think......or i may just keep it and hang it somehwere as a message board....who knows!

fabric pens samples





here are some pix of a few words using the fabric pens....they bleed but i can go over it and clean up the edges....the fabric "moves" alot while you are writing so i will have to work in small areas...i am thnking maybe smaller pieces of fabric to start with but am not sure that would solve the creeping problem....i wonder if actual fabric paint and a wide brush would be better...am going to look out n the paint box for a jar of fabric paint and try that before i make up my mind...thoughts?

KC's Christmas stocking and Hannah's Christmas present to herself!!!

The camo backing is a twill type and VERY easy to work with and gave a really clean look to the cording and construction.

the lining ia a homespun and the picture does'nt do it justice...it has a wamer golder look and goes very nicely with the backing, more masculine then gingham

the "ornaments" came out sooooo cute a nice touch on the top

so cute!!

the hanging tab turned out the best of all the stockings ( more then a dozen to date!) Ii've ever constructed

the orange camo was a perfect fit for the overall look of the stocking...i have plenty left over and might make him a coiled fabric bowl to keep his keys and sunglasses, etc in  on his dresser or for the front ledge!

Here is the quilt I bought for myself for Christmas!! The price dropped to the point where I'd never be able to buy the fabric and make one like it for myelf..... the circle fabrics are a cross betweeen old fashion and contemporary....fun will take more when i clean the rest of my room!!!!!
