Little something I tucked into my mom's letter...

Well this was quite an experience...
I calligraphy'd this really cute
note to Mother...
but the spray glitter ran the ink
everywhere.....oh that was fun....lol
Live and learn....
So I just threw this together.
She never knew...lol~
~Jeri

Made for my Grandson's birthday

My grandson and his sister
had loads of fun playing with this.
I got the idea off the net somewhere...
It turned out really cute!
~Jeri

Christmas gifts I made this year...

I made this to be a wall hanging
but my daughter said she
would rather have a lap quilt out of it,
soooooooooooooooooo I made it
a small lap quilt.
She loved it.
All that matters...
took me since September to do this one...
this next year I will start earlier!!!
~ Jeri

WELL I HOPE...

Everyone had a safe and joyous Christmas...
I have loads of pics to share of the things
I made before Christmas...and gave some
as gifts...just didn't want to post them
before they opened them...lol...
never know who is reading your posts!
God bless,
~Jeri

Merry Christmas to all of you~

I pray your holiday is joyful and if you
are so blessed to have that joy in your life and
good friends and family,
remember those that might be alone this Christmas
and please give something away even if it's only your time!
Merry Christmas

Ornaments...

I am going to make more of these...
they turned out just as I had planned
and if you are a crafter you know sometimes
that doesn't always work out like that...lol~
Just thought I would share these ideas with you all....
Try making them....
the rag rose takes few mins to make but they are well
worth the effort as they are so vintage looking~and
it's only muslin!
~ Jeri

These pink pine cones have ...

turned out so wonderful...
I am going crazy over this pink and white Christmas.... :)
I have pink fever now for sure!
When I was a child I loved the color purple...
but it has now taken a back seat to PINK for sure.
~ Jeri

Pink Pinecone

I couldn't resist trying to make
a pink pine cone...oh I just love this.
My tree theme this year is pink and white...
This pine cone is way to big for the tree
but makes a nice home decor.
I think I might leave up all year long.
~ Jeri

Candle Sticks get a make over.

These are a few candlestick I had around the
house and wanted to dress them up a bit.
I love the way they turned out!
OK so for me...no more boring white
candles in this house.... :)

Ornaments out of felt~

Really simple...give them a try~
~Jeri

Started making Christmas presents already~

Well actually have been making Christmas
presents since bout mid August.
Sure do need to get started earlier this
next year as our family is growing and growing.
Who doesn't love a homemade gift...
especially from Grandma...or Mam-Maw
as my grandchildren call me.
These Tooth Fairy Pouches are simply adorable.
I am giving one for each grandchild.
I have six so far.
One I kept for Mam-Maw's house...just in case
one of the grandkids looses a tooth while
they are staying all night. :)
These were so simple to make and
all it takes is felt and thread!

Warshing Clothes

WARSHING CLOTHES
Build fire in backyard to heat kettle of rain water.
Set tubs so smoke won’t blow in eyes if wind is pert.

1 pile colored,
1 pile work britches and rags.
To make starch, stir flour in cool water to smooth,
then thin down with boiling water.

Paste this over your washer and dryer
next time when you think things are bleak,
read it again,

First thing each morning you should
run and hug your washer and dryer.
For you non-southerners - wrench means, rinse ;)
