Bunny bags for Easter

The bunnies were cut using Cricut cartridge Creat a Critter in 5" size. I found treat bags at the craft store to cut down for the basket. Now they just need some Easter grass and candy and they will be ready to drop into the cellophane bags for presentation. The Create a Critter cartridge has many applications for dimensional projects for children.

Kaisercraft mini cubby kit

This kit by Kaisercraft was a lot of fun to work on. It took a great deal of abuse while I painted and repainted it four times! I finally found a color I like and then I started gluing on the bits and pieces. There are no directions with the kit but it is easy to see where each piece goes and with a bit of wood glue for the box itself it is assembled in no time. The little cubes need a bit more attention and I would recommend some rubber bands to keep them together while the glue dries. I am not finished with this one but am going to let it sit for a day or two while I assemble a little birds nest complete with clay eggs for the top. I also have to decide what to put on the top for the nest to rest in. Maybe a couple of sticks...? Lots of fun decisions to make.

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.
