I Have Been Blessed

WELCOME!! to my blog...  If you have just come from Ivanka's blog you are hopping right along. She has just recently join us at CardSwaps and wow is she ever an inspiration and a very creative card maker...  I hope you enjoyed visiting her.  If you haven't arrived from there you can hop on over to Lora's blog and start at the beginning.  You won't want to miss any of the amazing blogs on our hop.
This is your last stop on the Autumn Blessings Blog Hop. It goes along with the Autumn Blessings Crop at CardSwaps. The crop is from November 16-19, 2011 and you have until November 22, 2011 to get your projects posted to the challenge threads and in the drawings for prizes. It's a lot of fun.  We hope to see you there!

This blog hop has a theme. The theme is: I have been blessed!  I have been blessed with good health (except just the getting old thing). I have a wonderful loving caring husband of 32 years who is my very best friend, we have three beautiful daughters that we adore.  We also have been blessed with 3 great son in laws and 5 grandsons that are the love of our life.  I could go on and on forever how much I am blessed, but these are the very most important blessings to me.
My project for the hop today is a gift bag and tag to hold the hot pads and dish clothes I have been working on for my daughters for Christmas.  They love handmade so I decided to crochet these for them.
Here is a photo of the hot pads and dish cloth and below is the bag and tag I made to hold them...

I hope you will come and join us in our crop at CardSwaps.  It will be lots of fun and you will be inspired by all of our ladies creations.  Don't miss out on the fun themes and really great prizes!!!  I hope to see you there.

More is Better????

Just Because...

Hi all...  I haven't been on my blog for such a long time...  I don't know why...  It seems like I don't have time any more.  I have been working on a few projects and I would love to share them with you...  First is a muslin bag I made for a swap at YPP.  It was for the challenge group "A Pocket For Your Thoughts".  The idea of the group is to create something and add tags with your thoughts.  Here is what I did...

I really enjoyed doing this type of swap.  Just a little different and challenging.  Especially because I haven't sewn anything in such a long time!!!

Thanks for stopping by and don't forget the blog hop and crop tomorrow at Card Swaps.

Hugs xx
