I love the mailman

I love the mailman especially when she brings packages from all around. Saturday I received a bountiful package from Calamity Kim from the giveaway. I was truly blown away by everything it made my Easter weekend. I found a place for everything and it has brighten up my room. My hubby loved the tea towel it is displayed on our fridge with the note of do not wipe your hands on this or the queen will have your head. Thank you so much.




It rained most of the morning on Easter Sunday but once it passed it was a beautiful sunny day, my family spent it with my sister her family and friends with the little ones having a egg hunt and the adult later having one with scratch off lottery tickets (I won my money back). Every year my sister and I give each other small gifts, I made her a purse as you can see I messed up the handles, but I told her that it made it a Shean original. I got the pattern from You Can Make This I loved how easy it was to follow.




I am glad she loved it, my niece had a pump put into her back for pain management so I gave her the tie tote sling that I found at Betz White she was able to use it to carry the pump.


I tried to make a sewing machine cover but had messed up so I made a tote out of it and gave it to a friend for Easter.


All in all it was a wonderful day of family, friends and love. I hope you all had the same. The snake is coming along as soon as I finish I will post it, but it may be awhile since I have a swap and shirt to make. So until then hugs to all.

That purse is so cute! I can't see where you made a mistake with the straps? I love that fabric behind it too.

So a new year begins and with it comes the possibility of what can be achieved this time.   Goals to be meet creative idea to exchange and aspire to.  So I begin this year with open eyes, heart and with my soul outstretched to let the light shine in.  I have joined a Tag Swap hosted by one of the very first blogs I read when I began my journey into the craft realm, Elizabeth of Bluebird Papercrafts with her gift for storytelling, vintage take on crafts has inspired me so much.  Each month I will try my hand at a new tag to reflect my take on the months, but also a reflection of the journey I am taking.  The rules are to purchase once a set of paper then use that and whatever you have on hand throughout the year. I am using the K&C Company Daydreams pad and I choose this because of the cartoon whimsy to collaborate with my women, kind of like something old and something quirky just like me. I also am using whatever I have socked away in my file cab...

A Rose By Any Other Name: February’s Happy Homemaker Tag Along

Having the last name of Valentine, February can be either a curse or a blessing.   Growing up my mother made this month even more exciting than Christmas, she would say “This is our month. We are true Valentine’s we are so special we have a day name for us.”   So I grew up looking forward to February 14 th or as I like to call ME DAY, she would shower us with handmade candy, cards, presents and a special dinner.   When I went to school I carried my handmade Valentine’s along with candy to class, with a song in my heart I looked forwarded to the excitement of a day filled with warm hugs.   The only down side was that everyone is class would come up to me and ask how do you spell Valentine after a while I just told them to bring me what they were working on and I would write it. It is on this holiday I miss my mother and father I miss her contagious laughter as my dad would come home from work with flowers and candy.   He would come up behind her give her a li...
