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.

I've been getting more orders for the Tooth Fairy Pillows so I've been busy making a few to orders.  I guess I need to make a few extra to have on hand.

Well I still haven't been sewing in the last week but I've been making birdfeeders and birdbaths.  These have been so much fun planning and putting together to make the right height and colors to put into several areas around our memorial gardens. I'm also selling some which tickles me to death as I love finding the all the bowls and vases that stack together just right. I have also started my birdhouse which is on a board and it will have 1"x 4" boards around then I will be planting the ivy around it.  Then up on a 4x4 board it will go and it already has a special place that we are going to put it.

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.

I have finished with most of my Memorial Garden that I was making for the memory of Mom.  I put a lot of her favorite items in it along with favorites from MIL, FIL and SisterIL who have passed.  I had to show you my beautiful ferns of course in the picture there are only 2 but I bought 4 on sale for $3.00 each:) I'm working on the girls old playhouse and another yard area. I hope next week that I'll put something on here that I have sewn and if not I'll show you some neat yard art I'm making out of teapots,dishes and vases.  I just need a day when it's not raining.

This is my first try at putting pictures on a quilt and I don't think I did so great, good enough for Andy but not for me.  I'm trying it again with baby pictures of the girls with my Mama.  I thought that might be a great Christmas gift if I can get it done.  Does anyone have any suggestions of what type of material this does best on?

I have been working in the yard for the last few days as my husband had to mow and we had to kill the grass for our memorial area.  Now we have pulled up all the dead grass and weeds and the mulch will be arriving Thurs.  Then I can put out my items I have bought and some I have painted and others I have taken away as I just didn't like it.  When we finish I'll put up pictures but we still have a lot to go.  I also have to clean the house and get my clothes washed and put up since all I did was bring them in from the beach and put them in the empty bedroom until I tackled the washing and ironing task to get ready to go back to school Mon. Just to much I want to get done including redoing the girls old playhouse.  I'll get started on my sewing and crafts hopefully in another week.
