This is Just "Sew Cute"


















These little pillows are decorated with wire, jewels, beads, butterflies, etc. Aren't they just "Sew Cute"? I love making them. You can hang them from a hook, on a door knob, on a tree......just anywhere you choose.......you decide! They are fun to make and great to look at. No reason for these.........just enjoy!

Lighted Fabric Garland





Look at the beautiful sparkling of lights all throughout this fabric garland. I know this decorated garland takes hours and hours to make, but.......what a beautiful addition to any piece of furniture, doorway, tree, etc. Each piece of fabric is hand cut, hand torn, hand knotted, etc......see, I told you it takes hours and hours to make. Crafting is my passion.....what's your passion?


Nature's Bounty - Real or Fake?



















I love flowers! Flowers come in all colors, shapes, sizes, etc. In fact, if you make your own flowers you can make them any way you want! I love making flowers; I love putting flowers on things; and I love wearing flowers. These hand-made, beautiful flowers are all made to wear on your tops, on hats, in your hair, etc. If you can dream it....you can wear it!

Happy Hats


















In my spare time (what spare time?) I knit these gorgeous hats for kids with cancer (Knitting for Children with Cancer Group). There is a group of women that work on these hats all throughout the year. In fact, our local Chili's Bar and Grill (Boynton Beach, FL) honors the knitters once a year (in September) by giving us a luncheon. How great is that!


I love to knit while watching TV.....I don't even have to look at the hat while I'm knitting. Maybe I can sleep while knitting???? The hand-made flowers just brighten up the hat and, hopefully, brighten up a little girl's day. I know it makes my heart feel good to knit these beautiful hats.

Disney Isn't for Kids Anymore!


Disney isn't just for kids.....is it? Spent a few days at Disney with two of the cutest grandchildren in the world. Had a fabulous and exhausting time. Next time we go, I need to be younger!

Bradley, The Painter by Rubbernecker

As a Superstar Stamper for Addicted to Rubber Stamps, I make cards from the stamps they sell. I then email them the images with the supplies needed and instructions for making the cards. This is my dream "job." Did I say "job"? I'm supposed to be retired! I meant to say, "This is a dream hobby." If you haven't checked out their site, you need to go to: www.AddictedtoRubberStamps.com. What a great site! They have millions (maybe just thousands) of adorable rubber stamps and supplies. If you have to call them, tell them I sent you (only kidding). I love coloring; maybe I didn't get enough coloring in elementary school! You're never too old to learn a craft. In fact, you are never too old to color, cut, paste, and create. Go and find a craft.....go, go, go. You would be surprised how much trouble you can stay out of when you craft! Kids of all ages love to craft. Crafting is a gift you give to yourself and others. I've got to run.......have to make a few cards. Keep on crafting.........

The spirits are alive and doing well.......

These cards were made from copies of postcards dating back to the early 1900's. The postcards belong to my girlfriend, Diane, and her daughter, Monique. Well, the cards came out beautiful, and Diane loved them. Anyway.....I gave Diane the cards today; today is March 6. One of the postcards has a cancel date of March 6. Are we in the Twilight Zone or is Diane's Grandmother looking down on us and laughing?
