Busy busy busy..

I've been busy making a set of Christmas ornaments.  My first ever set of white and blue felt. Lightly stuffed just to give them body.  I really think these are cute. .. wait, before you tell me they aren't so good. I know the reindeer stitching is off... I confess I did this at 3a.m. when I couldn't sleep and the light was dim.  Didn't even notice it until after I looked at the picture. I'm fixing it as we speak. Anyway, check these out... tell me they aren't cute...J

Easter Arrangements.... all done. Yay me.

Finally got the finishing touches on these.. bows etc.  I am so proud of myself for making such nice arrangements for so little cost.  I utilize the dollar store, the hospice thrift store and what I don't find there I go to Walmart. Most of these arrangements cost less than ten dollars. The smallest one cost four dollars.. and the wreath added up to be right around nine dollars. 
 
 
 
 
 
This is the biggest, standing about two and one half  feet high
 
 

 
Love this tall arrangement. The vase looks like copper and is about a foot high.
 
 

Basket $1.00 at the Hospice thrift store.
 
 

This is the smallest of all standing just about one foot high
 

This is longer than it looks. I used 1x4 about a foot long, covered with plastic table cloth.
 

Not quite all of them. My long box (following was outside and the wreath isn't included)
 

Here's the long box.. 
 

 
And last but certainly not least is my Easter wreath.   Love how it turned out.
 
And that's it until next time.

Hearts.. I love Hearts

And so I did it..   I have wanted to make some little felt hearts for a very long time.. and so I've finally made my first two.  I still have many more colors and types I want to make but I am really pleased with my very first attempt...  See if you agree.  J

Is it Easter already?

Well, no it's not.  But it is time to be working on the next bunch of arrangements for the cemetery and so since it's that season I decided a couple of Easter themed arrangements would be nice.. here's the first two of more..

This is the front of the first one.
 
 

And this is the same on but of the back side
 
 

And here's the wreath..  hopefully I can get some better pictures later.
