MIA

Hi
 Sorry for being missing in action.  Sometimes life gets in the way of our creating and blogging.  Right now that is what has happened to me; life just got horribly in the way. 
I probably won't be doing much blogging and I want to say to my dear blogging friends, thank you for the support you have shown me and I hope to be back soon.  To the blogging friends I follow; I still look but haven't often got the time to comment.

Three remaining fun gifts

Hi
These are the remaining fun gifts I had made for Christmas.  They should be delivered by the time this is posted.  You who have read my other post regarding the book clock know the reason for late gifts.
I had to ask one of my neighbors if he could find me a Jack Daniels bottle as we don't drink.  The bottle is filled with hand soap and there is a pump that screws into the bottle.  This gift is for my grandson who has his own batchelor apartment. 
The next one is a bean bag football.  It is filled with wheat and can be warmed in the microwave or cooled in the freezer.  This one is for my younger grandson who plays amazing football.
The third one is an apron cut from a mans shirt.  Such an easy project.  My youngest granddaughter loves aprons and cooking and lots of bright colors.  If you click on the picture you will see that the hems along the sides have little fish all along the hem.  Just one of the fancy stitches on my  old machine.  If anyone wants the pattern instructions I can send them.  Just send me your email address in the comment section.
Have a Blessed day.

The last of 2013 Christmas cards

 

 

Hi

This is the last of the Christmas cards but I couldn't post it until today when the recipient received it.

The penguins on the envelope bottom left are from the Silhouette Store and the envelope  is  made  on the SU envelope punch board. The penquins and igloo, etc. on the inside of the card are just peel offs made of chipboard from the Dollar Store.

The recipients of this card like penguins and they have a good sense of humour too.

Have a Blessed day.

Happy New Year to all. One of the fun gifts I made this year, a book clock.

Hi

Wishing everyone a Happy New Year.

We were unable to celebrate Christmas with our family this year but I had made some little fun gifts for my grandchildren who range in age from 24 to 17.  Their main gifts were under their tree but the cost of mailing the fun gifts was way too high.  Since someone was coming here at some point in January I kept the gifts here.  This is one I can show you as my eldest granddaughter picked it up last night.  You may have to click on the pic to see the detail.  This is a hardcover book with an area hollowed out and the clock mechanism put in the hollowed out part.  Then the cover had a hole drilled in it to allow the hands to work.  The numbers are just glittery peel offs.  The pages were glued together and the rest of them left open so you can get into the book to change the battery.   She loved it.

Have a Blessed day.
