Christmas Projects 2014

Found this in my draft file so I decided to pop it up.  It was suppose to go up before Christmas but better late then never.

What a crazy time of year with getting ready for Christmas, school concerts, and high school orientations yet I still manage to squeeze  in extras.  So many unfinished projects so little time but they did get done for Christmas.  Thank God for His strength to help me finished.  I had a lot of fun making things this year.  Some projects are:-

Bags for teenage Nieces.  I got the pattern out of a magazine from the library.

 

 

Drink Bottle holders for my three.  At 7,9, 12  they are old enough to carry their own stuff. I first saw this on Pink Chalk Studio  (Click here for link) many years ago and had forgotten about it until searching about Pinterest.

 

 

Another thing idea from Pinterest -  Drink Bottle Holder

 

Wishing everyone a Merry Christmas and I pray that the true meaning of Christmas is celebrated and everyone remains safe.

 

God Bless.

 

 

Secret Santa Time

This is my secret santa gift for craft.  The conditions were it had to be hand made and under $5 and considering the amount of talent we have it will be awesome to se what people come up with.

This is what I made.  Ferrero Flowers.

 

Sorry the picture is not that great but take my word for it they look awesome. I used my circuit and accents essential to cut out the flowers, some gems, fake flowers, and green florist tape from my stash.  It was a lot of fun.  Unfortunately idea has not come from me but a friend of mine over at
Chloe and he clip on Koalas.  

The link for Chloe's tutorial on the flowers is here and make sure you check out her site.  Chloe is one amazing and talented lady.

Happy crafting and God Bless

Emmaline's Necessary Clutch Wallet

My goodness.  How the year has flown by and I thank God for all His strength and giving me the courage to go into a craft group.  I have meet many marvellous ladies.  Thank you Lord for bring them in to my life.

There is so much talent and variety with these bunch of ladies.  A secret santa was sent up and one of the ladies made a purse for another lady. It was awesome. She sent me the link I got the pattern ( http://www.emmalinebags.com/the-necessary-clutch-wallet/4575098877 ) and made my first purse.

So these are my fabric and pattern ready to go.  At the beginning I was a little unsure of fabric choices.  But the end product looks awesome.

The inside look.

 

Once I did the pattern once I realise a few little bits that I have missed and where I am going to need extra interfacing.  I am really happy with the purse and now my two girls what me to make some.

 

So should anyone want the pattern for this, then head over to Emmaline Bags by following this link. 

 

It is an awesome site with heaps of advise on how to do the bags, purses and you can get the hardware for the purses there are well. 

 

 

So happy crafting everyone and may God bless you in 2015

 



Its that time of year again.

Another interesting year is nearly over and Christmas is nearly here.  The time of year when God's only Son was born.  Praise God.   Have you ever imagine what it must have been like for Mary and Joseph? To kiss a newborn whom was God?   Wow.  My mind boggles over that.  It would be scary and awesome at the same time.  I could only imagine.

Um food for thought.

I always look for something different for the kids to give to their friends and thanks to Pinterest this was found.

So I pulled out my cricut and Create a critter and cricutted away.

 

 The kids put their friends names on the card.

 

 

The finished  product consists of 8 maltesers and one Jaffa.

I have decided to enter these into some Christmas fun on other blogs.
