This is my 83 year old Dad, Brother and my oldest daughter and myself . This picture was taken 1 year ago today at the Edmonds reunion a month after Mom had died. I just found out this week that my Dad has Merkel Cancer which is on the right side of his head. This is a rare and very aggressive cancer. He will start treatments Mon. as they fitted him for a mask the same day so they could start treatments quicker as the spot grew a lot in just 2 weeks. Please say a prayer for him. I hope to get back to sewing soon as it comforts me.
I love to sew just about anything. I also do lots of crafts and painting shabby chic. Sewing is something I've been since I was 11 years old. I made my first quilt top out of neon cotton material back in the 60's and now my daughter is the proud owner of the quilt. I make I Spy Quilts, I Spy Bags, Tooth Fairy Pillows, girls clothing, crayon aprons, pin cushions, just about anything. Sewing just gives me peace of mind and puts me in a comfort mode.

I have shown this outfit I made out of 2 vintage pillowcases before but wanted to show it again as it's one of my favorites. I have made a couple outfits similar to this out of regular material and sold them but this one is still my favorite. I guess it's time for me to sell it and start making somemore:)

Another I Spy Quilt for a cousin who is having a shower in Ga. on the 28th of Sept. who is having a little boy. I hope they like it:)
This is the dress that I made from a vintage bedspread and I used a old hand towel that had embroidery on it for the top. I love the way it turned out and I think I already have a buyer.

These are good to make for all ages boys and girls. You can also make a wreath out of the flip flops putting the heels to the center and using 4 pair arrange them in a circle adding bows or any other decorations.

I'm making the top post and I found the pelicans to go on the front of the post. I can't wait to get them to the beach so people can tell where the drive way is!!!

I've been at the beach so once again I've not completed anything but I did make a new clipboard for me to use in my classroom:) I changed the pink to the shabby scrapbook paper.
