Do you Doodle?

Who does not doodle? While on the telephone the other day I doodled a flower. I added a little greenery,a few little red dots, a greeting and poof I had a card! Sunflowers seem to be everywhere I look this week, so I colored the flower yellow and brown. A farm up the road has a huge patch of sunflowers. I hope to take a few pictures of them before poof, they are gone!

Another Wristlet!

I know, another wristlet! I made this one on Saturday and used it that night. I have a few weeks to use it here in New England before the weather changes and I start to reluctantly change my clothes and pocketbooks over to fall colors. I have not worn a pair of jeans all summer. It is something I hate to do! It is capris and skirts for me! I still can't wear white pants after Labor Day! I already ironed a white skirt for tomorrow! Getting in all the white I can before Tuesday!!! Labor Day Weekend is pretty much the end of summer here in New England. The weather is already getting a bit cooler in the mornings.

Return of the Clippies!

I have an order for some clippies, or cute paper items glued to clothespins. I am trying to give them an autumn look . There are pumpkins, apples and a few birds. The owls are turning into quite a favorite in my house so of course there had to be a few owls!

Making the little cards is always fun! My markers were easy to find !

The for mentioned owl, in what I consider fall colors. He isn't scary is he? I want him to be cute!



This owl is made with my second favorite paper. I love polka dots! See the apple peeking out on the bottom?

Mums the word!

I can not ignore the fact that some of the flowers I planted in the spring are starting to fade. Mums are out in full force in New England. I bought a bunch! I went to the shed and there was the shovel, I took it as a sign. I can never find the shovel when I need it! I bought a few shrubs too. Yes, these will be planted today! It is off to work! Did I mention it is warm here and the afternoon sun is right where I intend to work! The colors are so pretty!

Tags Tags Tags

Quick post today. I bought 4 boxes of these large tags last week. They come 12 to a box so I have 48 to decorate. They measure 4.5" x 6.5" Truth be told, I may have bought a few more but 48 or 72, I have a lot to decorate. It can be a long winter here in New England. I have a few things to make for my friend's classroom. School starts Wednesday, so I will be busy all day!

I need a Wrislet!

While I had my sewing machine out today, I decided to make myself a wristlet. I bought a yard of this fabric about a month ago. It is very pretty, don't ya think? The wristlet is smaller than it appears in the picture. It measures about 4.5" x 7.0". It took longer for me to decide whether to put the button on, than it took to make it. I just cut a pattern out of a piece of yesterday's paper. All in all it was easy and I like it. We are going out for dinner tomorrow night, I think I will use it.

A Banner Day!

Made a banner yesterday for a friend. She has moved into a new apartment and her kitchen just needed one! I think everyone should have a banner! She chose the word CAFE for her kitchen window. I am making a valance for her so maybe I will show you a picture of the window when it is all finished.
