"6 Mondays of Snowmen" PROJECT 1

Today officially starts my "6 Mondays of Snowmen" series!

Every Monday for 6 weeks, I will upload a snowman project.
All types of craftiness will be involved.

Project #1 ~ Tic Tac Snowman
This little guy would be great for small gifts (neighborhood kids, mailman, etc), classroom parties, favors etc.

You can download this project from EG's Yahoo group

Snowman Pin * Ready for Gift Giving

I thought my Snowman Pins would make cute little holiday gifts for teachers, co-workers, the Bunco girls and more.

I designed a matchbook holder in Sure Cuts ALot and used my Cricut to cut it out. The snowflake was cut from a true type font also on my Cricut & applied to the matchbook with a dimensional dot.

You could write a holiday greeting on the inside of the holder.




These pins are available at my Etsy

Snow Couple Zipper Cases

Aren't they the cutest couple?
I ♥ snowmen!

My new Snow Couple Zipper Cases are made completely 'in the hoop'. The embroidery machine puts the zipper in ~ yay!

Use these cuties to carry your cell phone, keys, money, makeup, etc.


They're perfect for the holidays & gift giving.

Fall Glass Block

I needed something Fall-ish.
I got the glass block at Michaels. The stand and light set came from Hobby Lobby.

Pop in a length of berry garland, cut a pumpkin and the word "FALL" from vinyl using my Cricut, tie a bow around it (from my stash) and I've got a new Fall-ish decor item.

Crocheted Headband ~ Ear Warmer w/Flower

With Fall in the air and shorter days, chilly mornings & cool nights, it's time to pick up my crocheting again.

I'm really happy with how this headband/ear warmer turned out. It was easy to make and worked up quickly.

I like the dark teal blue yarn.

I wish I looked good in hats and headbands. I'd be wearing them all the time if I did :)

Owl Zipper Cases ~ Wh000000

My new Owl Zipper Cases set includes 2 sizes.
You can use these cases for cell phones, makeup, money and more.

They're easy and made completely 'in the hoop'!

Candy Corn Fleece Hat ~ Sweet

Why did my kids have to go and grow up on me?
Both of my boys would have looked sweet in this little Candy Corn Hat I made.

It was quick & easy to make. I made a newborn size, but it could easily be made into any size.

Vinyled Pumpkins

I don't have little ones around anymore to carve pumpkins so I vinyled mine.

I used 2 different true type fonts and my SCAL program to create the files to cut on my Cricut.

I didn't make them "Halloweeny", as I want them to stay out through Thanksgiving.

These weren't the easiest things to put vinyl on. The bumps and curves were a bit hard to work around.

Happy Little Spider

Here's a new freebie!
My Happy Little Spider design is ready just in time for Halloween.
You can download him from my site's facebook

At IEC I had the pleasue of meeting Larisa Bland owner of Piece in the Hoop
I used her Wonky Blocks set to perfectly create the block around my spider design
It was so simple to do!

Home Again!

I was away last week at IEC. It was a fun time.

I taught my first classes ever. I was a bit nervous going into it, but everything turned out fine :)

Here's a photo of the girls in my first Pumpkin Zipper Pouch class.
They are a great group of women.

I'll be putting the Pumpkin Zipper Pouch & my Mini Owl Wall Hanging set up on my site for sale soon.
