Valentines 2013 Craft Swap

We love crafts swaps and my dear friend, Angela, introduced us to a fun group that loves swaps too.  We sent out two heart shaped embellished pillows and in return got a beautiful detailed quilled picture and fun hoop wall hanging.  We love them both.  We will be participating in their Spring swap, so we'll post pictures of that later on.

Craft Swap: V-Day!

We just finished up another craft swap and loved it just as much as the others.  It's so fun to mail little crafty things all around the world!  We are meeting so many sweet and talented people and we are already signed up for a Spring Swap.  Here's what we made for our new friends.  We'll post pictures of what we received shortly. 

Keep CALM

A friend of mine once said, “Life is as tragic as you make it.”  Lately it has seemed pretty tragic to us, but we’re trying to keep a positive outlook and more forward.  We have been experiencing new things, going on adventures, crafting like crazy, and making new/remembering old memories.  Throughout all this, art has definitely remained one of our therapies.  My mom was given a challenge at one of her quilt meetings where she was given a card as inspiration.  She was then asked to create something quilted based on her card.  We decided to collaborate on this project.  The finished piece was displayed as part of the Beatitudes series at the Sacred Space.  Tomorrow we get to pick it up, so we can display it in our home as a reminder of what our ultimate future holds.  Pretty promising and not at all tragic if you ask us.  

Number 30

I have loved these bags for many years. They belonged to a friend of mine and just recently handed down to me. They are crazy quilted bags and they are so fun!
