Pot Holder or Cat Coasters Bag....

I decided to do a pocket to put all the coasters and this bag can be also use as a pot holder if you want, is very tick. is purrr- fect for both things.

Decidi hacer un bolsillo para colocar all the coasters en esta bolsa que puede usarse para colocar los platos calientes en la mesa si asi se desea, es bien gruesa. Asi que es perfecta para ambas tareas.

Cat Coasters

For each coaster here you will use two 8" squares of fabric plus the inside fabric used for thickness. I cut Cat pattern out of a piece of newspaper and then I cut the fabric following the pattern. Only did 6 coasters, but planning to do a dozen. Coaster are always needed to protect the furniture. To add a bow, just overlap both ends of the ribbon to form a loop, keeping overlapped area in center of loop, bring loop together to form a bow; tack in place. Nothing more puuuuuuur-fect than this cats, you can make them as gifts or for your own table.

Country lifestyle

This cat is made in metal and the letters in wood, they are all joined with wire, I think is a cute thing to hang with my other signs. A country style touch.


Este gato esta hecho en metal y las letras en madera, todo unidos con alambre, me parecio un lindo detalle para colgar junto a mis otros letreros. Un toque campestre. Esta lindo no??

There are so many of high-quality country crafts, home decor items, gifts and unique accessories around, I think my kitchen can't scape for holding a few of this things in the walls, This particular washboard remind us of old times laundry, we have it so easy now compared to how people used to do their clothes. My Mother used to have one when I was little and we wasn't aloud to play with it.

En espanol le llamamos rayos a estos articulos, este en particular es uno de esos accesorios para adorno, pero recuerdan la epoca pasada, cuando la gente lavaba su ropa de esta forma y pensar que para nosotros es mas facil ahora! . Mi Madre tenia uno cuando yo era chica y recuerdo que no nos dejaban jugar con el.

Postcard from Alaska.

My friend Carol and her Husband were recently in Alaska for a few days vacation. I got this postcard from them, it was nice to know they were having fun there.

We want to visit Alaska in the near future and takes the lure of seeing a really big mountain up close in a helicopter ride, visiting the Denali National Park, will be awesome.

Until them we have to find out which time will be better to go.

Decorative glass Jar.

Yes I know is not Christmas!! But I wanted to use a few napkins I had from past Christmas celebrations , I think they were really cool, and with the motivation in place, you know me. I started to look for options and then came across this empty glass jar, it works perfectly for my project. It took me like half an hour to completed using decoupage. This pepper is part of the few vegetables growing in our garden and it was ready for a salad.

The jar is very decorative, from plain to spectacular, one more ornament for the season to come.

Se que aun no es Navidad, pero queria aprovechar unas servilletas que quedaron de las celebraciones de navidad pasada. Y ya que estaba motivada a hacer alguna manualidad pues ustedes me conocen. Busque opciones y encontre este frasco de vidrio vacio, perfecto para mi projecto. Creo que me tomo como media hora para completar este decoupage. El pimenton que ven es parte de los vegetales que crecen ahora en mi jardin y aqui ya esta listo para la ensalada.

El frasco ahora es muy decorativo paso de ser simple a algo espectacular. Un ornamento mas para las festividades que vendran.

A Garden flag

I was looking for a flag to put in my garden spot, but unable to find a nice one I decided to created. As you know my passions for horses, I designed a template in paper and then transferred to fabric, after that it was easy to sew and finally I got a nice flag. I'm showing some of the plants that are growing there this year. We had already eat a few of the corn, and green papers as well other herbs for salad. Marvelous.

Estuve buscando una bandera para mi rinconcito en el jardin, pero no encontre algo que me gustara asi que me decidi a crearla yo misma. Como les conte antes me apasionan los caballos, dibuje un molde en papel y lo transferi a la tela. despues fue ya facil coserla y finalmente consegui una linda bandera. Les muestro ademas algunas de las plantas que crecen en el jardin este ano. Ya hemos comido algo de maiz pimentones y otras hierbas para ensaladas. Es maravilloso.

The Wonder of Bird Feathers.

Walks to the pond sometimes were a unique experience, new people, animals, flowers, the short distance from home, is always exciting. Sometimes I found dry flowers, rocks, in this case feathers from the ducks, and birds that comes around, and I ended bring a few of them home hoping to start some new crafts ideas.

Feathers grow quickly. Once fully developed a feather is a dead matter like your finger nails, Feathers do not last for ever, they become worn and battered and are replaced regularly by the bird once or twice a year depending on species.Birds have good eyesight and colour is important to them. A bird gets its beautiful or cryptic coloration from its feathers.
I covered the feathers with different color threads and add a bead or two, when is ready it can be use for the hair, or as a key chain, or just as a decorative item.
