Hi!  Okay, so I am now really behind making my 2012 calendar using Pure Innocence Year of Flowers series from MFT.  Really, I am going to get on it.  I just wish it wasn't so hot here.  So muggy now that I need to use a fan but that's not so great when there are paper scraps everywhere.

Here is the sketch from MFT.   Week 36 already!

The left side follows the sketch using Pure Innocence Lily of the Valley stamp. I paper pieced her dress.  I think these flowers are usually white but I made mine light yellow.  The right page is my computer generated calendar with space above for a photo so that I can use this also as a scrapbook once the year is done.  Trying to be practical too.

I already have the June and July stamps so hopefully I can catch up making these pages.  I already precut the pages and punched the holes so I can start once I see the new sketch.

Thanks for reading and have a great weekend!

Oh how weird, you were posting as I was commenting! Cute calendar! The yellow looks nice! Yes, still very hot here too. It actually rained a little today though, but still hot.

Hello!  Today I'll be sharing the last amigurumi I made during my crochet frenzy.  I haven't been crocheting much recently except for this one little project I'm kind of procrastinating with.  I really do love this last one because I think it came out really cute. This is a little crocheted robot designed by Bubblegum Belles .  You can find the pattern HERE .  Sometimes I purchase the patterns especially if they are really cute.  But a lot of designers do list their patterns for free too on their blogs so I always check to see if they have a blog or not.  It's also important to read their pattern listing too if you are purchasing to see whether they are for personal use or also for commercial use.  Here is a different view of him.  Happy that he is able to sit on his bottom.  I actually cut out 2 felt hearts using a heart die, blanket stitched them together, and then hot glued the heart to the robot.  I tried stitching one h...

Snowman gift card holder

By
Hi!  I was planning to post this last night but I was just too tired to write or think of complete sentences.  It's been a busy week with the boys on Fall break and still trying to finish up a bunch of crafts.  I have been trying to make some crocheted crafts to put in my Etsy shop and finally I'm done with one.  It's a crocheted snowman that can hold a gift card or anything actually that is small enough to fit in the pouch.  The pattern is designed by ChiWei Ranck of One Dog Woof and can be found HERE . Here's the little snowman with his arms folded over in the front to look like he is hugging the card.  I added this fun card that I stamped.  You can definitely add in a gift card too behind this card. The gift card reaches under his nose. This is how the little opening of the pouch looks.  I hope I can make more of these little guys.  These would be so cute for teachers and I think it would be easy to put a little wire throug...

I have a tag die from Papertrey Ink so I used that as my smaller tag.  I glued that tag onto kraft cardstock and used my ruler to cut a 1/8th inch border aro...
