Getting organized

This is my new ring binder that is the designated site for my new projects for 2012. I have downloaded some patterns from Annie'sAttic and signed on for a sewing class from Craftsy. The tiny box was cut on my Big Shot using sizzix die #604969 that Molly bought me for Christmas. It is just the right size for a Hershey's kiss and works well using cardstock so it has some body to it. This is my start and I hope to have completed projects to share very soon.
Happy New Year!

December, 2011

I have been busy finishing up the decorations in the house and getting presents ready to wrap. Having accomplished sending gifts to grandchildren in Ohio I feel like I am on the back stretch. I do have some crafting I want to finish. I thought I had enough cards made but that might not be the case. I bought a box of cards just in case for the people who do not seem to get all giddy over one I have slaved over. Time now to wrap up some last minute knitting. I am very glad I got all the Inchies done ahead. There is little time for that intense creative work. Have a wonderful Christmas and a happy, healthy and blessed New Year.

Final inchie for 2011...Yellow

An explosion of yellow bands. There are twelve in all with joyful swirls at the ends. Happy finish to Every Inchie Monday.

Eclectic Inchie!

At the beginning of this challenge was the word Eclectic. That almost stopped me from participating because I could not find a way to define eclectic in a one inch square. After spending a year following the inchie challenge and finding I could make inchies from so many different mediums I realized at the end that my inchies are eclectic in nature. They are combinations of all the crafts that I love. I hope you have enjoyed seeing my work. I have very much enjoyed making them. Now, I am going to give my eyes a rest and work on something just a bit bigger.

whoops! missed one

This is one of my favorites. The word is Pretend.

The rest of the story

I have noticeably fallen behind in my blogging. Here are the rest of the inchies I have completed. I have Yellow to do and then one of my own to sum things up. I hope you enjoy seeing them here. They are easy to access on my flickr account if you want to see them all lined up. Thank you for your kind and most generous comments and for refraining from commenting when the muse was not upon me for some of the weeks. Happy Holidays to all. I will be posting a new idea I had at Mass tonight. If I could have heard the homily I would not have been making sketches in my mind. Sorry Lord.

Poppy's Pockets

Poppy ( Grandfather Jerry Mack) is know for having treats in his pockets for his grandchildren. These are fun to make and hopefully fun for the children.
