SWAP

I signed up to do this neat swap that blogger Shannon is hosting. Click the photo to check it out!

Here is a photo of PART of my mother's day gift for my mother... I don't think she's a reader... I got the wonderful knit lace trim pattern on the Lion Brand yarn site. They have a lot of great free patterns, you have to sign up though... The dishcloth is super easy and knit on the diagonal and I don't remember where I got the pattern, maybe it was called Grandma's Dishcloth?

Too Many Hobbies?

I am wondering how in the world I am going to get everything done today, plus I want to play with my new photoshop elements program and try some digital scrapping and of course do a little work with it too (on the church website). I have already used up quite a bit of precious time working in elements... LOL I have other things to do... Do you ever get like that? I get that way with sewing too (can you imagine?) I think I have too many hobbies! Anyway, since this blog is about crafting, and not about working or whining, here is a photo of something I have made :) It's a cap for a teen with cancer for Spirit Jump!

Completed Project

Here is a peasant top I made. I ended up buying a new pattern for $1.99 at WalMart. I just happened to see it and liked the sleeves better than the last one. I lengthened it a bit, since I am kind of tall. I'm happy with how this one turned out :) I added a closeup of the fabric just because I think it's so pretty!

Some Football Photos

Here are a couple of photos from NFL Flag Football! Our team is the Cowboys and boy DS and DD are playing :)

Only a little creating going on around here!

We have a really busy weekend ahead of us. We have meetings and dinners scheduled pretty much all weekend. I haven't created much of anything lately... my sewing machine is picked up for our dinner party on Sunday. I'm excited for the get together, but I missed my machine these last 2 weeks that we have had people over. I needed the table for people to eat, instead of sewing! Here is a little welcome banner I made from scrapbook papers and a little hanger I bought at dollar tree. I just wanted something cheerful to welcome friends!

What I've Been Doing Lately!

I haven't been creating much in the way of sewing, mostly mending the kids' pants! That still keeps the machine going! I have done a few scrapbook pages and I have a bunch of photos from Sea World that I think I'll use for a mini album. I'm looking for ideas right now and have ordered the photos from Snapfish. I got them all free thanks to my coke rewards.

We have more company this weekend and next weekend, so we are going to stay pretty busy!
Here are a couple of more photos that we took last week:

The Quilt, A Poem

the worn cottony
bluish softness
calls me back
to that time
surrounded by my
light yellow walls
and the love
given by the
small soft-eyed
grandmother
who sewed the
cottony blush softness
just for me
