Friendship ... Aged to Perfection

If you are visiting for the Unity KOM Blog Hop, please scroll down!

I created this card for Vivian's "It's Cocktail Hour Somewhere" swap. I just can't seem to get away from pink inspired cards!

Looking closely, you can see that I paper pieced almost the entire image. I thought it would be faster than coloring...HA! But hey, I had fun and LOVE paper piecing, so it was time well spent. There is something almost hypnotic about focusing on the details.

I must mention that with this card, I now realize that bifocals are now required 100% of the time.

I have now entered the geezer era of my life! Totally sad, considering my heart and spirit feel relatively young.

Gorgeous! Love the paper piecing! I'm still resisting bifocals. I figure I can go another year if I only work with gigantic images and do no cutting!;)

Hey, have you had trouble getting SCS to open for the past couple of days? I can't get on this morning, and I couldn't get on yesterday morning either. Did I miss an update notice or something?

What an adorable card! (I may have to buy that set - I think that image would be perfect for my friend's upcoming b-day!) The paper piecing was worth it - too cute!

Warm Little Sweetness

I must admit that I have become quite fond of making little bitty sweaters. It all started on a recent trek to India traveling for business. I needed to carry just enough yarn to keep my busy bee hands occupied during the evenings in my hotel room. There are just so many hats a person can make, right? Anyway, having limited quantities of yarn, I decided to give a small sweater a go. This is the first one I created. I had just the perfect little buttons to add! (It really is amazing what one might find in their cosmetic bag) I love it. This sweater is also featured on the Pinque Peacock blog since I used her buttons. (Go visit and see the buttons up close) This makes the sweater a really one of a kind project! This next one is perfect for a little preemie. It's so tiny, but features a great big snowflake! Close up of the snowflake…. I also sewed on one of the StampinUp! Frosted Finishes Embellishments. I think it finished it off nice

Halloween Scrapbooking Sheets

I created these this morning....just in time for making a few treats before the spooks come calling tomorrow night! Enjoy.
