Quick fun gifts!

Made myself a little bag for my "Pink" Breast Cancer Awareness bag
(lovingly given to me by my sister)



...and then a matching tissue holder. I LOVE IT!
I followed a tutorial somewhere in blog land!

I saw one just today also with a cute strap! (now why didn't I think of that!)
so nice to glean other people's wonderful ideas...

I hope you enjoy gleaning some homemaking inspiration here as well!
(if you would like directions I did save some pics for you to follow)




I made this black and white bag and tissue holder for my daughter along with one of my "HOPE" totes..a matching set. (note in the pic I was not quite finished with sewing on the button!)




Here is one I made for a friend..to thank her for helping us with our nursing home ministry.


What better gift to give than something you yourself find very useful

AND one from your Creative Heart!

Cute, quick, Pincushion

For one of our CRAFT times during our monthly ladies Bible study...we made these CUTE simple pincushions.

They are made with strips of felt...rolled one on top of the other into a ROLL the size you like. Then embellished to look like a little "cake".

Roll TIGHT and then wait til the very last strip to glue.

Embellish with ribbons, buttons, whatever you like.

I happen to have some little ribbon roses that made the perfect topping for my petite Birthday cake. CANDLES...colored pins!


Enjoy creating one for yourself or a great little gift..from the heart!

HOPE

Lucy and Penelope

Meet twins... Lucy and Penelope...

I had the wonderful opportunity to see and HUG my two wonderful g'daughters this past weekend...as they journeyed with their family (dad HOME from the war on R & R) for a short meeting at his parents home.
(I get to see and hug them for a looonger visit at a later date!!)

So I surprised the girls with the sock monkey's they have been anticipating on receiving! They both love pink and purple and I found these cute socks at Walmart! They had this puff balls on each pair that made...

PERFECT EAR MUFFS!



and since the girls live waaaay up north where it is very COLD they will enjoy letting Lucy and Penelope use their built in earmuffs! How fun!
(they can also double as ponytails!) I also was happy to find the pink and purple HEART buttons...perfect for giving them with ALL MY LOVE!





While the girls swam in the pool....the "twins" just chilled out watching them have fun!


(more SOCK Monkey's to come in the future...for the real TWIN baby boys!)

NOTE: I have some sewing tutorials to share for making nice Kleenex holders for your purse with matching makeup bag...SEE YOU SOON!

HOPE
