Craft It Forward

I saw this on SEW MUCH TO MAKE SEW LITTLE TIME. I think it awesome!

The first eight people who make comments on this blog post will get something from me. The rules are as follows:


1. What I will create will be personalized and intended for you.

2. It will be done this year (2009).

3. You will have no idea waht it is going to be. It may be crocheted, painted, papercraft, sewn, embroidered, beaded. Or I might bake you something and mail it to you. Very exciting indeed! You won't know until you recieve it.

The catch is, you must do the same thing over on your blog too.

So...... post a comment and see what comes your way!

Grass Roots Recession Busting

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Pass on the savings to others! My son's piano teacher informed me that she was dropping the price of piano lessons for all of her students by $5 a lesson due to the recession. I told her that the only way I knew to thank her was to pass the savings on to someone else.

I take care of my sister's little girl while she and her husband are at work. They offered to pay $25 a day. In order to keep my promise to the piano teacher, I dropped what I charge my sister by $5 a day - upon the agreement that, when she finds the opportunity to do so, she needs to pass the savings along to someone else.

Pass it on!

Chef Salads made by Jasmine and Jeremiah.

Gregg asked me to make a scarf for the cabint he rebuilt. We have the tv sitting on top of the cabinet and Gregg is worried about scratches. This is what I came up with.




Table runner. I made two, one for the sideborad and one for the table. The fabric is so fun, little teapots, tea cups, creamer and sugar containers!

I adore this fabric. New valances for the living and dining room. Not a great picture....
