There is something satisfying about cutting fabric into little pieces, sewing them back together, adding more fabric, and making a quilt.
All the while thinking of the recipient of the quilt, making you all warm and fuzzy inside

Another Butterfly Wreath
“If nothing changed, there would be no butterflies!” As Spring is finally showing her face in North Carolina, I thought it might be time for another butterfly wreath! This time I used Deco Mesh and Sparkly Tulle, added some Butterfly pins and Butterfly brads, and here it is!
Stepping stones!
What is more fun than a bag of cement? Cement and a group of elementary students.
You start with plastic plant trays. Spray them with a thin coat of cooking oil. Add some quickcrete,
Wearing plastic gloves, press the qickcrete into the plastic trays, trying to make as compact as possible. 
Add glass marbles, stones, sea shells, and anything else you can think of…..
Let dry for a few days, and pop put of the plastic tray, and your stepping stones are ready for the garden!
Thank you to Mrs. Johnson for allowing me to “play” in cement!

Butterflies are Free!
It’s always fun to take something old and make it new again! I took an old grapevine wreath and a favorite magazine and made a new updated wreath in a matter of minutes.
One Wreath
My Favorite Magazine 
I downloaded Butterfly Patterns from images on the internet, and cut out butterflies from the pages of the magazine, using favorite pictures and articles.
Using a hot glue gun, glued the butterflies to the wreath, added a raffia bow, and new wreath!
Vega’s New Bed
This boy deserves a bed!
After moving into his new home, poor Vega had no bed of his own. So take one mattress cover (from someones dorm room, used years ago, but saved for??? ) add one sale blanket from Wal-Mart (under $5.00)
Add a little embroidery, sew it all together and, now Vega has a soft and comfy bed, for the cats to sleep on!

Up Cycled Bath Mats
Needing a new Bath Mat and not finding anything in the colors I needed, or the price range, prompted me to make my own!
Supplies: Two inexpensive or use contrasting Hand Towels, Two contrasting wash cloths
After ironing some iron on interfacing to the back of the wash cloths, I cut out the simple shapes and pinned to the contrasting towels.
I then appliqued the edges, sewed the towels back to back, and within an hour had a new bath mat for under $5.00
