Welcome Spring!

So, Spring hasn't officially started yet, I realize, but I just can't help myself. I LOVE SPRING!


Spring means Easter. This was simple enough to do. I have been wanting to fill this vase with Easter eggs for a few years (at Christmas it will be filled with Ornaments), and I finally bought some at Target. LOVE IT!

And my most recent craft to be finished:


I got this idea from something I saw over at Blue Cricket Design. I bought the frame at Goodwill, and then I painted it with the polka dots. I just used cheap $.29 sheets of felt and blanket stitched two pieces together.

I intend to change out the hangings every so often with different things. I already have some wood letters that spell out our last name I am going to decorate and will hang from the frame at some point.



Close up of the "Spring." It's hard to see, but each letter is lined with a different color of embroidery floss.

HAPPY SPRING EVERYONE!

To Do...

I have a long "To Do" list of craft projects that I would really like to make some headway on. I have the list posted on my desk in the craft room, but clearly it's not doing anything to get things done. Maybe if I put it out on the web, it will make me feel more responsible for getting things checked off? We'll see.

As I get things completed I'll be checking them off my list. (These are in no particular order)

• Finish my scripture case (Completed 3/9)
• Make a calendar
• Finish my Sisters' birthday presents (Completed 6/19)
• Finish the pillow (Completed 3/11)
• Fix blue purse (Completed 3/9)
• Complete Rag Quilt (Completed 5/5)
• Make hangings for Welcome Frame (Completed 3/12)

These may not make sense to everyone, but I am excited to get these things finished. I'll have pictures of everything as I finish. I should mention that each of these items on my list have been started and most are near the stage of completion, I just have a bad habit of never quite finishing things.

Once I finish these I should be able to move on to some other crafts that have been stewing in the back of my mind for some time, yet I've not quite had the chance to get them started.
