The Homespun Heart Easter Garlands

These are adorable garlands to hang in your home. Go here to purchase or get the template to make them yourself. What a great way to prepare for Easter.

My Latest Sewing Project

I made these pillowcases for a special friend, Loretta. She had a near amputation of her foot back in January and is in the agonizing physical therapy stage of recovery (God has done some amazing miracles through her whole ordeal).




Everyone needs something bright and cheerful when they have to just lay on the couch all day and do nothing! Ha!! This sweet, awesome woman of God gets more work done on her couch than I do on two good feet. See the classes she teaches online at CurrClick.com. See her family blog on my sidebar....All Rhodes Lead Home. And check out our ministry blog here. Please add Loretta and her family to your prayer list.

The pillowcases turned out pretty and nice and bright!!! Hope she enjoys propping her foot up on them!

Crochet Hearts

Look! I'm learning to crochet hearts! Aren't they cute?

Embellishments to Pillowcases

Look what we did! I say we, because my sweet friend, Deanna of Jolin Country helped me by crocheting these garland hearts. She crocheted them for me and I sewed them to the pillowcases. Aren't they cute? They turned out way better than I imagined they would!

Happy Valentine's Day

The pillowcases I made were for Hannah & Caleb for Valentine's Day. So, they got them this morning with a little stuffed dog down in each pillowcase! They were excited!





Happy Valentine's Day to all my blogger friends!

Caleb's New Bag!

Yes, I had to make him a bag. He's been begging me to. I've knitted one for Mackenzie and am in the process of knitting one for Hannah. Then, I sewed Hannah the purse....he's feeling a little left out.

So, I found some really cute construction vehicle fabric and made him a bag. It's a little bit big for him as I misjudged it--knotted the handle for him so it does not drag the ground, hehehe :0). I did not want it to look like a purse! I used the same idea as Hannah's purse and just made it bigger and only did one big pocket on the inside.

I'm learning......

This is the bag turned inside out. The lining with the pocket.

He's carrying around an assortment of toys in it. Cars, trucks, Rescue Heroes, links, puzzles, etc. He keeps changing them out--kinda like a girl and her purse! :0)

Hannah's New Purse

We went to MidSouth Sewing Center to pick up my new rotary cutting mat and I let Hannah pick out some fabric. We brought it home and I made her a new purse.





This is the inside lining of the purse. It has a pocket in it. The round black thing at the top is the velcro closure. There are matching pockets and the velcro on the other side.

It was fun! Hannah is sooooo excited. I finished it right at her bedtime.
