Remembering Mother's Day

Hope everyone has had a great week!

Today I was trying to decide how to decorated my kitchen table. As some of you may know my mother died the day after Mother's Day last year. I know I have already showed you this quilt but it is very special to me because I gave it to my mom in 2004 for Mother's Day. We lived over 2,000 miles away from each other and when I went to her house when she was still in the hospital it was on her table.

I was always planning to make one for myself but never finished it so I used the pieces for a clothes hanger. The cute houses my daughter gave me a couple of years ago.

God Bless and if your mother is still living give her a hug for me.

My Craft/Sewing Room

Hi Everyone, I told you yesterday that I would show you around my craft/sewing room and here are some pictures! I feel so blessed to have this space to be creative in and as any crafter knows there is always room for improvement! I have only had this space for about six months, before that I had to share half of my living-room for my crafting and it was challenging to keep my grandson away from everything.
Hope you have a great crafty evening!

Fabric Stash!

Hope everyone having a great Monday, I have been busy getting  my fabric stash in order by color.  Did not realize I had so much fabric! It will be so nice when I start a project and not have to say "I know I have that color somewhere" ! HaHa

Here is a sneak peak at some of my fabric stash.

And anyone knows there is ALWAYS room for more!

Tomorrow I will be posting pictures of my Craft/Sewing Room! Hope you have a wonderful evening.

It's FRIDAY!

Hope everyone has had an AMAZING week, I know that I have!

Today I was going to try to get pictures of my craft room, but time has gotten away from me and have to many projects going on to stop today. One of those is for a wedding shower for tomorrow, so I have to stay focused and sometimes that gets the best of me!!!

 As I am writing this I have vinyl in my Cricut cutting for my project and so blessed to have so many wonderful crafting/sewing tools. Well off to start weeding my vinyl to put on my project :)

Also, still praying for those in Boston and Texas. It has been a sad week for many of you out there.

LOVE TO CRAFT

My Quilts

Hope everyone is having a good Wednesday!
I have been painting a few projects today.

Today I would love to show a few quilts that I have made. Each one was hand quilted. Right now I am learning how to machine quilt, I have really enjoyed watching classes on Craftsy! If you haven't checked them out you are really missing some awesome lessons on so many different projects!

On Friday I am hoping to take some pictures of my craft room that I have been working on.
Thanks everyone for checking out my Blog!

Painting

Hope everyone had a good weekend??? I enjoy keeping my grandson, Ryan when his mommy and daddy are working! He loves to paint his Thomas Train and just thought I would share a picture.

When he is through, I wash and dry it and he is off again, playing on the tracks.

Something about me....


God has given me the talent of crafting, and I plan on using all that I have to help others and to bring joy to my family, friends, and whoever I may touch! 

I am a wife, mother, and grandmother(RainRain) and I LOVE to craft! Can't  wait to start sharing some of the things that I have made lately. My daughter just got married on March 30 and created most her decorations with some help for family and friends

This is something I made for their engagement party and will replace the picture with a wedding picture when we them.



P.S. Thank you April Richards for getting me started on Blogging!
