All of those are sooo adorable!
I've got some St. Patrick's day cards I'm working on (sorry, they are green - still looking for the perfect blue and orange idea for the challenge), a rag doll (she's a stashaholic - only had to get a fat quarter of fabric for her dress, everything else - more than 50% - I had on hand), and a Frilly Dilly bag for the swap. I also just did some stashaholic St. Pat's items for the St. Pat's swap - sorry no photos :( .

Girls, I caved this week - it must be the stress! I found some great pink rosey fabrics at Calamity Jane's Cottage, and somehow they called to me and caught me at a very weak moment. Was thinking last night, though, that I have some fat quarters around here that they may go with. Maybe I can turn them into a stashaholic project yet...

I missed quite a long time posting here! Read through all of the posts! Love all the projects done....might make doggie blankies for my "kids"....they'd love them. I have not bought one piece of fabric since OCTOBER! I'm trying to get my blog updated with pictures of the Log Cabin Santas I made for Christmas - my family loved each of theirs - they want bunnies for Easter made. Right now I'm working on hand quilting my friend's quilt whose mother did the piecing - she has arthritus and can't quilt anymore so I offered to do it - so many squares, Geez! LOL It is beautiful though. And I got my quilt top done for our bed. I LOVE it. I'm in the process of basting it to start that quilting next. Still taking care of one of my dogs - I may have mentioned he was hit by a car the day after Thanksgiving and broke his pelvis - he's healing nicely - about 9 more weeks, but able to walk on his own now. Just have to get him to quit running and playing too much....yea right. OH I made 7 pillows for my living room out of stash....trying to post those too. I have dial up internet at home, so it's easier to post pictures at work - just hard to find the time. Now that my tax season is done(I'm an accountant), I should have more free time - at least during lunch. If I can just figure out all the tricks to the blogging....
I love the pillows though - I took the stuffing out of the ones that came with the couch there were so blah and made nice colorful ones with wild life on them. Lisa - I love the jewelry you make!! VERY pretty.

yes I have! Looks like you have too with the cute blankies and the beautiful jewelry! I'm really bad about getting an idea in my head and starting that project without finishing my current one. Then I end up with multiple things going on. (sigh) oh well....it's fun.

Made this little "mask" today...
Yesterday, DS had to make a mezuzah for his religious requirement for scouts. We chose to use half of a small paper plate. What to do with that other half?
Well, today, while it was still sitting on the dining room table, it started revealing itself to me (I know - lack of sleep and/or soil and/or coffee - who knows!). So I picked out a few of the colored pencils in the box, and colored this mask. Not sure if it is a warrior or princess - I made the eyes kind of feminine, but that's how I know to make eyes.

I wish I was talented with beads and wires like tribalcime is - I could make her earrings...

Oh that would be cute!
I can't get aprons out of my mind. I have my winter one still hanging in the kitchen and came across this beautiful summery white and orange fabric and now want to make an apron with it.

Okay...I updated my blog and put the pictures of my Santa's and the sweatshirts I had made on there. I wanted to put the pillows on there too, but have to wash them first before taking a picture of them - my dogs used them as cushions while chewing their bones....LOL Gotta love cotton though...it washes nice!
I'd put the pictures here, but don't know how...

Hi girls! Just got back from 1 week off for spring break. didn't get as much done as I wanted to..:( I had to spend 2 days with my mom so that was ok..then it turned really cold and yucky here and that just didn't inspire me to sew in a cold room! I did manage to complete one apron for my little sister (have 5 more cut out for me or others) and started sewing on them but did not get them finished. my dh asked me if I was every going to re-decorate like he wanted to so we went to our local Lowe's and bought some paint and mud/plaster for repairs and once he has some pretty days , he is going to re paint the kitchen walls and living room walls and I will starting on the curtains and wallhangings I promised him many moons ago. I have been trying to learn how to knit by knitting squares for the crochet/warm up america forum but only managed one knitted block. I did go to my church's quilt meeting this month (finally!) (yipee!) and they are really nice ladies and let me borrow a quilting book with frogs in it for babies~! made copies of the pattern today and will be cutting them out tonight. thought it was a good way to use my stash...they wanted me to pick out a lot of fabric from their stash to use --had to laugh-- i finally agreed to pick out some green for the frogs but I have plenty of fabric for the top(s). hope to make one for a boy and one for a girl...saw some pretty pink fabric with girl frogs on it..pretty sure it will still be there when I go back in April :) OH! I made 45 yo-yos for the swap going on at another forum from my stash. went to the storage shed and found 6 baby size quilt tops that I can use for the church's quilting program already sewed ...just need batting and backing to start the quilting...having so much fun and my storage shed has a floor! i was so surprise! :)
lisa, you make some of the prettiest jewelry, I love wearing your stuff! Anne, did you get the book and patterns I sent to you? Hope you are ok

Lisa - love the necklaces! Thanks on the santas - I use photobucket too so I can put them in there and link to here. Or I also noticed to not use the quick reply if I want to insert a picture....
I did take ones of the pillows I made. I'll post soon when I have time.

This last is my fav. It has tiny stones and shells embedded in the bigger stone 
These are some pics off my image blog that i printed out and glued to the wood beads. This style gives me a chance to use up all the little stone chips I have laying around
