Fall is here!

 Kinusaiga framed Fabric Art is my new obsession! It is done on polystyrene foam board and you get to use your fabric scraps! The above photo is my project that I am working on now

 

I work on this project in my spare time. It is a very calming hobby! Just love it!

The frame is a tad too big so I want to get my hubby to finish off the inside for me! I love this little owl! Hope i get better at Kinusaiga the more I practice!

We are looking forward to traveling to Florida this year!  Our health is much better than last year- my husband is in remission from Multiple Myeloma and I have recovered from my hip replacement surgery in December and open heart surgery in May!  So after our annual Craft Fair at the Italian Heritage Center in Portland - we will be on our way!  I do love Fall here but we don't want to spend another Winter here in Maine!  Hope everyone has a fabulous Fall!

Summer Update!

 

 I am sorry I haven't posted in a while! Had my hip replaced in December! Everything went well and I was doing great! My husband and I played golf on May 7th and I had a heart attack on the course! We went right to the ER! I ended up having a triple bypass and they replaced a valve! Needless to say it has been a challenge to get back to feeling myself! I am making cards again! 

Here is one of my favorites cards!  It is from Lori Whitlock! I bought several of her SVG files! These cards actually stand up! 

This will be a short post as I need to make some more birthday cards for the month!

Spring 2026

 

I had fun making this Swinging Boat card for my sister's birthday! I was inspired by Karen Burniston's swinging boats cards.  I used Cricut Access for everything on this card. It does actually swing too!  It was a challenge to get the size right but I think it turned out OK!  I forgot to take a picture of the back bur it says- GO BANANAS!

Here are a few more cards I made this month!

The above card was for my Golf league that I missed so much this winter.!  They had their end of year 

event and I was honored that they asked me to make this card!

This card was an anniversary card I made for my sister and her husband!  It was made entirely from Cricut Access!  I love the look of the card.  I seemed to go to Cricut Access more and more for some ideas for cards. 

Well, I do hope everyone had a great Easter!  I was right out straight busy so I wasn't able to post anything but a picture of the cookies I made for the Cancer Center nurses.  Hope you saw it!  Spring is just around the corner, I think!  Talk soon!

Happy Easter

 

St. Patrick's Day past

I made some St Patrick's Day cookies for the cancer center my husband goes to for treatment! He is in remission and we are very grateful!

I am happy to have a little

place to donate my cookies! I get to practice decorating!

  My husband and I were able to spend 10 days in Florida! The weather was wonderful! We had a great time and it was nice to have that break!!

While I was there i made some Pot o'Gold

Cauldron for my golfing group. It was such fun to be able to craft in Florida! I think i made 19!

Well, St Patrick's day has come and gone! I am looking forward to warmer weather here in Maine! Wish it would stop snowing! Hope it is warm where you are!!!

Happy Valentine's Day

 It has been awhile since I made a new post. In my defensive, I had my hip replaced in December! Yesterday was my first day not using a cane! I am thrilled! 

The cookies above - I made for the nurses at the Cancer Center. My husband was diagnosed with Multiple Myeloma last August.  We found out at Thanksgiving that he is in a deep remission! We are so thankful!

Since we had all these health issues, we decided not to go to Florida in the fall but we are planning to go in March for 10 days! We are looking forward to warm weather- I hope!

I have to confess - I have become obsessed with the birds from Target! I picked up a few at Christmas! They just make me smile! Am I the only one?

I know this is s short post but just wanted to give you an update ! I hope to be posting s little more as I become more mobile! Hope your Valentine's Day is fun!!

Last Craft Fair of the Year!

 I thought we were done with Craft Fairs for this year but my sisters and I decided to do one more fair.  It is at the church in Gorham and it is really a fund raiser for the church to be able to go to the Dominican Republic.  It is this coming Saturday and promises to be a really fun time!

I thought I would, again, show you a few of the items we will have to sell at the fair.  The Grinch,above, is one of my favorite things!  I love the expression on his face!

This is a Christmas ornament in a tin!  The SVG file is from My3DSvg.  She has a bunch of different

designs but I love the Nativity Scene the best.  It also lights up.  This is a new item for us!

Have you ever done Folded Book art?  This is an example of using that same fold.  We did sell a

bunch of these at the last fair too!  I think they are adorable!

My sister, Rochelle, did the above "Busted Frame" art!  I love how it came out.  These are a show

stopper!!

These are Tootsie pop holders.  I think they would make great stocking stuffers.  Hoping the kids might like these. They are fun to make!

Well, this is just a small part of what we plan to sell.  The fun in these craft fairs is meeting all the people who stop by. Also, the vendors at the fair are so creative!  We love meeting them as well!

Cross your fingers that we do well but I know we will have a great time! Happy Thanksgiving!
