Streamers On A Stick for OCC

 I have a craft class once a month at my church,  we try to make things for the OCC Shoe boxes at least 2 or 3 times a year. I saw these being made for OCC on Pinterest ,so I thought the kids would enjoy making some.
 They Did ! I told them to make as many as they can and they could take one home ,they made 100 even for the shoe boxes ! I was so excited !
 We cut the streamers 5 Feet long, glued to a popsicle stick and taped for reinforcement, we also cut a 1" x 3" piece of silver wrap paper to hold the streamer after we wrapped the streamer around the stick, then we had some smiley face stickers to hold the silver strip together, So all they have to do is slide the silver off to use the streamer.
 They wanted to try them out too

This is jus a small group , some of them had already left.,they did have a good time .

Sweet Safari Baby Quilt

The Theme for Haddy Lynn's room is Sweet Safari. I could not find anything to make  it the way she wanted,  so I found this print of the jungle animals ,some Fat Quarters of the zebra print and 2 yards of the pink Cheeta fabric. 
I said to myself that since there was no zebra or cheeta in the animal print that this might work .
So I put it together in 5 1/2 hours 


 At the baby shower , she opens the gift and she loves it ,I am so happy , I had my doubts at first but her and everyone there was please ! Whew!!

 I tried to make the picture lighter because it was a dark picture ,this is the best I could do.

Plastic Bottle Bird House &Ffeeders Made by Girls & Their Mom ,Plus new blooms

 Samantha & I saw a link on Facebook about making bird Feeders & bird house out of 2 litter plastic coke bottles ,so they saved 3 of them and this is the results , I think they did a good job!
 This is the second "Queen Of The Night" bloom for this hanging plant ,One of my favorites , the only thing is they only bloom at night time ,so you have to keep checking after they get so big or you will miss them. Easy to grow too.
 My Dessert Rose I have had it for many years and this is the first time I have ever had this many blooms on it at the same time !
My Canna Lilly ,I thought it was done for but came back really good , I am using the new mirical grow sprinkles ,so they are all doing great!

Found a UFO !!

I had made this last year at Mom's ,have it all pinned and ready to quilt ,,Found it last week while making room for a new Cabinet dresser to put some of my sewing in.
I need to get it done ,I made it to sell for a small child's birthday or for a baby.
I am in the mood to start back to quilting soon, I still have some more cleaning ,changing things around, plus outside work ,then it is back to quilting ,I also have 4 other ones to finish but I did not forget those !
