My newest purse

I spent a long time on Saturday making this purse. At 10pm last night, after ripping out my final seams in disgust, I finished this morning at 7am. It's McCalls pattern M5822 which I got for .88c last week at Hancocks. The fabric, which is so yummy was all purchased at my fav place on earth... Dragonfly Quilt Shop near my home. I think it looks ok... the zipper insert was a total pain and probably could have been done differently than the pattern instructed but I was too tired to think. Oh well, I love the colors.

Memorial Day Digital Page

I made this yesterday morning to commemorate my mother's Uncle James Hodges, who survived the Bataan Death march, only to die in the prison camp days before the allied forces rescued the camp.

Alice In Wonderland Kick

I have so many digital scrapbook images, I wanted to use a few. I started messing around this morning and ended up with an Alice theme. Image credits go to : Sherrie Drummond for the word art and Irene Alexeeva at Scrap Orchard for the background and images.

New photos

I know I've been gone a while. Busy working etc. but I've been taking photos lately and using my new Nikon D60. Plus, Photoshop Elements 7 creating digital scrap pages etc. Here's a few pics:

Lots of new stuff

I've been a busy bee making decorations for Christmas as well as gifts for everyone. Here are my stockings, an elf doll, an angel I made for my parents and a cute owl.

Christmas gifts

Here are a couple of gifts I've made for Christmas. The hat is the Blue Sky hat pattern from Amy Butler. The placemat is from an issue of Quilts and More by BHG last year. The designer is Linda Lum DeBono. (I've also got her Christmas book and making my stockings). I tried to crop the pictures and they look a little crappy. It's early am and didn't feel like taking a lot of time to make them perfect. Anyway, I think the projects turned out quite nice (pat my own back) and will be making more in the next few weeks.
