Project 2025

 

Well, we have been home about 4 weeks! The weather has finally warmed up and has been in the 80's for 3 days!  Love it!

I have been working on some projects for a craft fair in September in Wells, Maine! It will be the first time we have done this event! I can't wait!

This Halloween project is from 3DCuts.com! I love this site!! The frame on this project is an embroidery hoop! Marji has more projects using hoops! You should check this site out!!

Here is a couple more pics! The switch for the lights is behind the pumpkin!

The above picture is a project titled 3D Star Tree with Snowflakes!  It lights up too! The SVG is on Cricut Access but you can also find it free on Craft with Sarah.com! This is also a fabulous site!  Sarah has a great tutorial too!

I am jumping around ! The framed beach scene is from 3D cuts again! It is one of my favorites! I have made it before! The tutorial makes it so easy!

This is my update! I have more projects to work on! September will be here before we know it! Will post more fun to come!

 This card is so much fun to make! I purchased the SVG file from Lori Whitlock's site.  But I  used a

birthday card my sister sent me to finish the front of the card.  That birthday card was so adorable I couldn't throw it away so I took it apart and used it to make this birthday card for another sister!  I think it came out great!  This card also folds flat for mailing!  See the site below-

Recently, I have been playing with Zentangle again!  I tried it last year and got so busy I wasn't able

to continue but now I am into it again!  The above pictures are my attempt at Zentangle again! I found a great series of tutorials called BIRDS OF A FEATHER- you can check it out below-

We recently had out Women's Golf League called DIAMONDS IN THE RUFF - signaling our end of year!  I had fun making some cookies for out banquet and some boxes for our awards!  It really was a fantastic year!

I am still trying to perfect my cookie decorating skills.  The cookies about were done with a stencil that I made using my Cricut machine! The boxes were fill with candy and were handed out at the banquet!  We had lots of fun!

I hope this post wasn't too long!  But it has been awhile since I posted here.  We are just about ready to move back to Maine in the next couple of days!  Hard to believe - the time has gone so fast.  My next post will be from Maine.  I hope everyone is doing well and is looking forward to Spring as much as I am!

Happy Valentine's Day 2025

 I have been busy making Valentine Treat Boxes for my Golf League!  They are such a fun group!  I love making something special for them!  I have made these treat boxes before but love the fact that I can decorate them different every time!

I ended up making about 20 of these cuties!  They hold a good amount of Hershey Kisses too!

My new thing is trying to get better at decorating cookies with Royal Icing!  I have made a couple of batches for our couples league and my hubby's buddies that play on Wednesdays.   

I did make a couple of mistakes!  I started watching You Tube videos and I know that I cut my

icing bag way too high.  I think I put too much icing in the bag too!  I had icing oozing out the end even though I have an elastic on it!  Frosting everywhere!   But it is so much fun!  These designs are wet on wet- I want to try some more designs and hopefully get better at it!!

Well, that is my update!  It is beautiful here in Florida!  The temps have been around 80 degrees and the outlook is for the 70's next week- which I prefer!  Hope everyone has a wonderful Valentine's Day!!
