Buttons

ok, does anyone know how to add a button to my website from another site?

I thought I had figured it out, but it tells me the code has illegal letters???

More Barbie







I need to find a better place to take pics. I think the light is shining off the granite if my flash hits it just right. I have these little cuties already in labeled zip lock bags to keep them clean for gift giving.


I started on the lego quilt, well my own version of course, when to work on it a little, can't remember where I stored it. So, I am trimming little tiny scraps of fabric, while I think of where I stored it. Do you ever do that?

Barbie Clothes

Aren't these just the cutest little things. They were quick and easy to make.
I am making these for gifts for little ones for the little ones, and maybe a few grandmothers that get to play Barbies with their little ones.






I got the plans for making these from Tip Junkie. She has a wonderful little tutorial for doing these. Of course, I changed the size, and did the eleastic a little differently. I don't like stretching elastic as I sew it, so I made a little casing, and just ran it through. These are all done on my serger.
I do hope everyone is having a great new year. We are just enjoying the day, while getting a little done. Not zipping around for sure.


I am vaccuming, washing clothes, and rugs, taking care of my indoor plants.


I have been ironing fabric, and trying to organize a bunch of little projects, like cut Barbie clothes for when I just have a few minutes here and there. So, I was taking a little break, back to cutting out strips, more on that later this week.

Barbie Clothes







Here's a few Barbie skirts I have been slowly working on between all the crazy madness of Christmas. I do enjoy making something so quickly with all my small scraps. I did sew them on my Serger. Love sewing fast.

Waiting for the new year

We had a quiet supper, and are getting ready to watch a movie to bring in the New Years.

I am trying to work on a few things, so that I will have a small finish on New Years Day before we start the movie.

I am actually already thinking of Christmas presents for the next year. Some are well started for certain people, so it should be doable. Is that a word?

I love the new year, I do make plans and notes and work on them. I love a fresh start.

Well off to work on a little project.

Transformer 3, not my choice for a movie, but it will be ok. It's just nice to have a quiet night.

cocktail pics

aren't these great? I bought these at a craft show, they are beautiful cocktail sticks. I have been making these for gifts. Actually, not a real fun craft. It's very hard to find the little picks, and its hard to find beads that will fit. I have bought whole strings aftermaking sure they will fit. Then, half of them on the string are actually too small. But they are beautiful. I need to make some for me. Yes, I have given all of them as gifts, so I need to make me some.

fairy garden

Have you heard about Fairy Gardens? You decorate little flower pots with whimsy and color. I had a ball doing these. I just need to order a fairy or two. I couldn't find one locally.
























































Can you see the tiny little bird bath. It actually has water in it.
