Happy Monday! Are you snow bound, I am 
and we are expecting more. Well, I shouldn’t say we are actually snow bound because I probably could make it out to the main roads. The question is, do I really want to . . .
So I’ll stay inside, sipping on my coffee (hmmmmm Baileys?) and stay where it’s warm.
I got this wild hair to finish up a project I started around Christmas. I meant for it to be a Christmas present but time got away and it just sat on the shelf. For some reason today I felt compelled to finish it 
I had this idea to make a flower out of some new May Arts Ribbon, but the style of flower called for wired ribbon. I ended up stitching a small seam down one side, ran some craft wire through it, and pulled it all together to make the flower. The center is an old button I had in my stash.
I took on the ladies from the Graphic 45 Fashionista collection and put it in a memory frame for some added embellishment. The back layer on the top was made with Spellbinders™ Labels One. I know it’s hard to tell in the photos, but I added some feet on the bottom of the box with black wood beads from an old necklace.
Another vintage button from my stash on the inside.
I haven’t decided who is going to get the box, but my youngest is definitely a creature of fashion. She also told me recently that I never make anything for her.
Thanks for stopping by today and remember . . . life is short, enjoy the adventures of the day!
Okay guys . . . you asked, I heard, I made it! After I posted my class project the other day where I used coffee filters to make flowers, so many of you asked for a tutorial. Well, here it is . . . and please do be kind!
AND if you can’t get the embedded video here to work, try this link: Coffee Filter Flowers.
I’ve spent a lot of time this week drying off the little shihtz’ when they come in from the backyard. This happens many times during the day . . . either because we need to chase a squirrel, have a potty break and simply want a treat. Elle knows that when you goes out and comes back in, she gets a treat and this has become a game of sorts. She sits at the door whines, I let her out, she walks to the end of the deck and immediately comes back to the door.
Mom called this morning while the girls were outside and I was telling her about what it took to dry them off.
Elle outside, hunting for something . . . who knows what!
What? I haven’t found what I was looking for!
I’m ready to come in now!
Oh know, not the hair dryer again . . .
But oh how she loves the warm towels!
Sydney not wanting to be left out of the fun. Even though when she came to the door, she ran right past me with snow flying everywhere and went straight to her bed in the window. She appeared during the photo shoot after all the warming up was done!
BY THE WAY! So many of you asked about a tutorial for the flowers I posted yesterday . . . I’m working on it today!
