FAERY FROST CROWN


This was a fun crown to make also. I have named it "Faery Frost Crown". Now that is all I can think about....making crowns. Who knew they were so simple!

CROWNS







I have been wanting to make some crowns after I bought the book Crowns and Tiaras so yesterday I couldn't resist trying a few. What fun! This one I call Forest Fairy Crown. Notice the little vintage deer!

PUMPKINS ON THE PORCH


Come sit a spell. Everyone enjoys his fascinating and detailed decorating.

MORE HALLOWEEN FUN


I think the cat is afraid to come on the porch......he might get decorated!

OUR HALLOWEEN HOUSE


Every year my husband decorates our home to the hilt. You can find him outside making changes at all hours of the night. Here are some photos of his expertise in making our home stand out in the neighborhood. He does not, however, do anything spooky to scare the kids. Hmmmm, well we have an upstairs room that has ghosts flying around . Very neat but not that scary.

Now, how did that pig get in the picture?

WATERING CAN PURSE


A good friend of my gave me this cute purse with a bright gold chrysanthemum plant in it. Now isn't this the cutest thing to give a gardener!

QUILT TOP FINISHED

Ok, so now I finished my quilt top. I was planning on putting this quilt in the Folsom Quilt Show 2010 but someone saw it and it might not make it to the show! What fun creating with all the bright colors! My pictures do not do them justice.

LOVE THE COLORS!

Do you think I like color! It is so amazing how someone that loves shabby cottage chic and the pastels involved also loves bright fabrics. I guess that is what keeps things from getting monotonous! I am going to attend the Pacific International Quilt Festival this weekend and will probably come back with probably more inspiration than I can handle.

QUILT IN THE PROCESS

Here is the start of a quilt I am making to enter in our quilt show in February, 2010. Such fun!

DOLLY FRIENDS FROM FRIENDS

Here are some of my collection of dollies I have received from other creative people I know. Also, there are some of my supplies on these shelves.

SEWING ROOM STORAGE

This is the top of one of my cabinets in my studio. Hmmm I wonder how that cat got up there!

I LOVE MY BOOKS!

Here are some of my books. I love to have inspiration all around. Maybe that is why I wake up wanting to create something every day!

Jelly Cupboard With Dark Fabrics

Here is my jelly cupboard that I keep my dark fabrics
in. Holy cow, I had better get busy and make some winter quilts! Now I am embarrassed at how much fabric I have. Oh well, one needs a stash to work their magic from.
