It Starts With a Stitch

Pooh

Winnie the Pooh has always held a special place in my heart. My son was a big Eeyore fan. We still have the tattered old Eeyore he carted around when he was a little boy. It was stitched up many times, but boy was it loved! When I saw this little bib in an antique store in town, I couldn't resist buying it. My favorite words from Pooh's Grand Adventures are as follows; "If ever there is tomorrow when we are not together, there is something you must remember. You are braver than you believe, stronger than you seem, and smarter than you think. But the most important thing is, even if we're apart, I'll always be with you." These words are for you Michael. I will always love you and be with you. Mom

If Only It Was This Easy!

2013 Journal

I usually start my new journal for the year on my birthday in March. This year I decided to start it the first of the year. I really like a medium sized journal. I can add my writing and small pictures and it just seems to work the best for me. Here are 3 pictures of the outside and the inside of my new journal.

Art Show Pictures

Here are a few pictures from our art show at school. I have the best students ever!

Embellished Glove

A parent of one of my students gave me a wonderful box of goodies! In the box was a simple white ladies glove. I embellished it with some lace and such. Pretty, feminine and just my style!

Scrap Bib

If you ever need to make a quick baby shower present, this might be just the thing! I had a vest made of quilted material. I hadn't worn it in some time, but I really liked the material. I cut a bib shape out of the back side of the vest. I zig-zagged stitches around the outside edge, and then used scissor blades to frey the edges. I tore matching fabric strips to make the ties, and attached them to the bib with buttons.
