Wonder why....

Sometimes pictures just don't do justice to a project... that said, I finished the centerpiece finally. I do like it. Not professional but pretty.  The picture makes it look sloppy and the light wasn't good when I took it.  Might take a few more tomorrow. If I get a better one I will replace this one.

Went to the cemetery today..

We cleaned up the place, took out the old arrangements and put in all new stuff..  here's a few pics.



A few more

I finished some more arrangements... here they are

Isn't this a pretty bow?  I got this ribbon at an estate sale.  It's the wide wired kind.  There were about fifteen spools of  wide assorted designs and colors and at least a dozen of a narrower kind.  Hit the jackpot for six bucks.  J



It's that time of year again.

I have started making new Holiday arrangements to take to the cemetery.  Here's the first one.  I finished it today.  It's very long, at least four feet.  When I move it to the other table I will be able to take some better pictures, but for now...

Here are some other views of the same arrangement....



Here is my snowman family

 and here's another craft... my Nativity set



Here's a cute little something I did the other day...

My snow boy..

New arrangements...

I've finished the arrangements.. some of these colors are not my favorites anymore but they are fall colors so they are appropriate for the upcoming season.

Halloween tree..

This is one of the next arrangements I will take to the cemetery in mid September. Some think I'm wierd taking a halloween tree with ghosts, black cats and jackolanterns to a cemetery but that is their problem. I know Kiko would like this arrangement... perhaps better than any other I've made so far.

And another one

This is a wooden cut out, I bought several years ago at a thrift shop. It was unpainted and the lines were not all drawn. I painted it, drew the outlines and sealed it with a waterproof sealer. Over all it's about 12 inches long way and 7 or so inches high. It really turned out cute. J.

A Very Long Long time...

Yes, it's been a really long time since I've posted here, but that's because I had been unable to do any crafts. Now after three surgeries and months later with therapy etc, here I am almost back to normal. I am so very grateful.

This is the very first craft I've done in months and months. It's a little Jack Frost ornament to hang on the tree.
