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.

Two arrangements

for Kiko

flowers for Grandma

I made two arrangements and we took them to the cemetery...

fabric birds

Can't really see them too well. I am not completely satisfied with them but I'm very happy they are done. J

Finally

Something to post.. this little ornament is just so pretty. Don't think the picture does it justice. I also have some fabric birds done but the batteries in my camera died so have to wait till they recharge to post those... J

Feng shui

Finally redid the wreath I had hanging on the living room door...

two more

Here are two more I finished today... J

Another ornament done

It's pretty... and easy.

Finished some more

I finished two more of the wooden circle decoupaged ornaments. I am determined to have a Christmas tree this year with all homemade ornaments. I have quite a few already but not near enough to fill up a whole tree. J

Cemetery arrangements

Finally got the new arrangements to the cemetery......

Two more ornaments

These aren't very good even though I followed directions.. have made better in the past just doing my own thing. Still now I'm not doing very good work anymore. Age?

Two more Arrangements

Finished the arrangement for Grandpa

and the one for Martha...

Tuesday

And today I finished a basket of flowers for Kiko. This is the old basket we found. Mac cleaned it up and painted it. Those old baskets seem more sturdy than the new flimsy things in the store. Here it is. I like it.

Grandmas wreath

Time to start thinking about new arrangements for the cemetery. I finished the first one today. This is a wreath I made for Grandma...

Finished

My ornament. I didn't have the type of ribbon I wanted so had to improvise.. it was fun and I think maybe next time I won't make so many mistakes.

Finally something to post.

I've finished the little wooden birds. What silly little fun things they were to do.. They aren't good because my eyesight is awful and my hands aren't very steady, but they are cute and I will put them proudly on my Christmas tree this year... J
