Purse babies are for boys too!

I have a grandson and I was always so frustrated that there wasn't anything out there for boys!  All the cute hand made goodies were for girls.  But have no fear,  I haven't forgotten those cute boys that need to build their imagination too!  

Olivia loves to be grandmas little tester!

She is loving  lugging handfuls of these around!  

She takes them all around the house!

Sew fun project for fall

I pulled out my old paints.  I've had for 20 years!  I think I need some fresh new ones!  

I have really had the crafting/ painting bug here lately and decided I'm going to pull out my paints and get back to business!  I used tio do a lot of painting and did a lot of design work. I was a decoart designing artist and loved being a representative for them . I have decided to get active with that again so keep watching and you'll see some fun stuff coming up!  Here is a mixed medium  design.  A fall doll in a wreath with painted shoes and painted face.  Let me know what you think about how she turned out.  

Tada!  Ready for my old widow decor.   Comment below and follow my blog if you'd like a pattern!  I'll pick 1 lucky person to win.

Checking her out on the design wall.  I think she looks good.  Can't wait to see her on the wreath.  

Fall is in the air.

So how lovely is this weather?  I have to say fall is one of my favorite seasons.  We'll, okay every season is my favorite. Lol. I can't imagine living somewhere the seasons do not bring change. Each season is completely magical in it's own right here in Utah. Winters first snow storm is like a new magic show every year! Sledding and snowmen are some of my favorite memories from days gone by   When my children were young.  I love the spring miracle   of all the buds bursting out of the soil  and the look of  a beautiful green newly sprouted field with the snow capped mountains in the back ground. 

   I love the heat of the summer with the ripe Cherri's fresh veggies, and the beautiful lakes full of cool water beckoning you to jump in and cool off.  

   Then there is fall. Beautiful fall!  It doesn't get much better than this.  Cool nights and warm days.  Color in the mountains and all the great  things that  come to us to harvest .

Pumpkins, squash, apples..  Today was a dream of a fall day. Spent with mom and my Daughter  Brooke , picking apples from moms old house, dehydrating them,

 making bird feeders with my grandson Kasen for those birds that have chosen to stAy for the winter.

We rolled apples and pine cones in peanut butter then in seeds.  And tied them with ribbon.. 

We made some yummy Carmel apple pie filling that we will spoon on our icecream this evening after dinner for a nice fall desert. 

 Mmm. I have to say ,  I appreciate all this beautiful Utah fall day has to offer me and my family. 

Wonky mug square

I love this so much! I think I'll need ti make several and make my daughter a cute little throw for watching tv or snuggle up at the table for her morning coffee.  

The machine embroidery pattern is from kimber bell designs .  It's on her winter volume 1 cd .   If you ever come to Utah make sure you find my girlfriends quilt shoppe in Logan Utah. It's the cutest shoppe ever!  For fabric , it's a mixture from my scraps. ..  This is a great scrap buster and so easy.  If you'd like a tutorial please leave me. Comment.  :).

I have been organizing and decorating!  It's been almost a year and I have to say I'm just like most everyone else..  I fizzled out.  Who knows how long it would have been if I had not been so inspired by my friends Debbie and Julie who have been posting the most fun pictures ever of their own sewing / craft studio journey.   Not to worry,  I'll post some pictures of their adorable rooms as well and if you can't wait for that.
