Quick Decorating Project

We were given these frames as part of a present. 

I knew that I wanted to put some animal pictures in them. But sourcing pictures with when you are a bit busy is challenging. I was walking past a local newsagent and saw this book for $4.00 on the bargain table with the farm animal pictures perfectly matched in colour.

I don't usually cut up books.

But I now have a much brighter wall.

Overall a quick and inexpensive decorating project.

Small Quilt

I completed this small quilt early January. It's approximately 40 inches by 40 inches and simply quilted in straight lines diagonally across each square. I have had the animal fabrics in my stash for a while. I love them and wanted to make something special with them. The red and blue is fabric I tried to match and was purchased at Gail B.

I love how the colours have come together and are very happy with the results.

Crafty Corners of my Home: #1

I have been a little busy for the last few months and have not had time to do anything much, other than care for a very special little person. Crafting has taken a necessary back seat during this time. However I have managed a few minutes of crafting here and there. I have a few completed projects ready for posting but have not found time to photograph them. I hope to show you these projects soon. In the meantime here is a photograph of my African violet in a mosaic pot a made a few years ago. It flowered really well this year.

Book Bag

Our youngest nephew is turning 1 in a couple of weeks. For his birthday we have brought him some books and I have made him a book bag. Happy birthday little man.
