Get Well, Sympathy, Thinking of You Swap

My husband has been TDY for a couple of weeks. He came home for about 12 hours and is gone again. The good thing about when he comes back, he is willing to run errands with me because he wants to be with me. Last night was no exception. He went with me to Michael's to buy mirrors, Target so I could pick up water balloons for a day camp next week (and so our daughter could use her gift card), and we went to Walmart & Home Depot looking for a glass cutter so I could cut the mirrors I bought. How many husbands are willing to go to Michael's? Yep, he missed me.Smiley from millan.net

I printed a couple of swap requirements from my e-mail on his computer this morning and nearly freaked. I didn't pay attention to the month but I saw the date as the 28th. Oh Mylanta! These swaps are supposed to be in the hostess's hands on the 30th. I was thinking I'd have to overnight them. I couldn't figure out how so much time had passed so quickly. I was thinking what Sunday's date was and figured out that his computer was off. I'm trying to finish them off for tomorrow's mail. One still has me stumped but I will figure it out. It may be a late night. Did I mention there is a blog hop Saturday? My focus lately hasn't been stamping. I spent several weeks working on compiling a book of digi pages to be printed for a gift. Now my focus is swaps, blog hop, day camp. I still have a lot to do for the day camp but I'm looking forward to it.

These are the cards from the swap.

Christmas in July

Image
  Fall of 2015 I saw a picture of "quilted" Christmas trees on Craftsy.  I saved the project and the fabric requirements.  The instructions list a youtube video that is no longer available.  With the information I had, I figured out how to make these trees. Sometime around the time that I saw the idea on Craftsy, I bought the styrofoam trees with the intention of making it.  I bought fabric for it last year but still didn't get them made for Christmas.  I've had it on my "to do" list all month.  My reasoning is that I have more time now than I will in November. Surprisingly, It took me about 5-6 hours to make these two trees.  I didn't think it would take so long.  The taller tree has a 4" base and is 12" tall.  The smaller tree has a 3-1/2" base and is 9" tall. The trees are made with 2-1/2" squares of fabric that are folded in half diagonally, pressed and then folded in half again and pressed, making a smaller triangl...

Christmas Tree

This seems to be the year for me to re-create crafts that I did with my mom or that she made.  In the early 80's, a friend of my mother's had us over and we sat at her kitchen table each making a tree like this.  I always liked that tree and decided this would be the year I would make it again. All you need to make it is 30 feet of plush garland.  6 wire hangers.  Zip ties or twist ties.  A strand of lights.  I think we used a strand of 100 mini lights so many years ago.  I've been debating this in my mind though.  50 seemed like it would be enough and 100 perhaps too much.  I was at the hardware store today and saw a box of 70 lights and figured it was middle of the road . . . perfect.  The bulbs were a little bigger than the typical strand of lights, this could work too.  Having made the tree I have mixed thoughts on the lights.  I would opt for the 100 bulb strand to have more lights, but then, I like lights.  I like ...

Cathedral Window Ornament

Image
Our DAR Chapter has a Christmas luncheon today.  I wanted to make an ornament for a "favor" of sorts.  I thought it would be nice for everyone to have something.  When fabric went on sale in July I bought what I would need for this project.  One part of me really would liked to have used Christmas fabrics but I kept in mind this is for a patriotic group and they can hang it off a door knob or cabinet, etc. and use it year round.  I hope they like it. I tried to remember to take pictures as I went through the process.  I made 64 of these ornaments in an assembly line sort of way in that I did each step for all of them and then moved on to the next step.  The Main Fabric is 10" x10"        Center fabric (lower right) is 5" x 5"        Accent fabric measures 4.5" x 4.5"        Backing is 5" x 5" (not pictured)        Ribbon is 8" Start by folding the fabric in ...
