First: A little puppy, that's not so little anymore. We adopted a black lab cross puppy on January 17th. He was born November 11, 2008. He was one of 6 puppies born under a trailer. The mother and the puppies were rescued by a local animal shelter that fosters animals out until they are adopted. He is a wonderful puppy and smart. At 2 months when we got him he was already almost to heavy for my children to pick up. Now, you can forget it. LOL! I would say at 4 months old he has doubled in size. The picture shown was taken the day we got him, I need to take some new pictures.
Second: I want to show you a wonderful little felt Matryoshka doll that I got from Suzie. She did such a nice job. Unfortunately I did not think to take any pictures of the ones I sent my swap partner. Oh well!
Third: A dollhouse Valentine quilt wall hanging that holds mini Valentine cards. The wall hanging is about 2" x 3" and is the smallest quilt I have ever made. I made it for Susan who made the little puppets for Club Little House that I posted about in January. I also sent a little Valentine picture to hang on the wall. Susan sent me a very cute little pink beaded heart wreath and tiny bear made with pink pipe cleaners. How creative is she! Sorry no picture yet, I can't seem to get a good one. When I do I will add it to this post. We are in the middle of doing an Easter doll house swap right now. I will show you pictures of those when I get them. :-)
Fifth but certainly not least. Look at the great quilts that Amy made for me for a triptych swap. I am still shocked! She did such a wonderful job. I will show you the quilts I sent her this weekend. I don't want to post them before she gets them or it may not be a surprise. She also included a bag (that she made) with sweets and a great little quilting gadget. :-)
already she knows love and is able to give love unconditionally. To many she is a symbol of hope. She stands for courage and was built by a community of givers."
he other beautiful ladies in the world who have had to fight cancer. Love Squared has been sent into Art Doll Quarterly, who is going to do an article on the doll. The doll will be auctioned off on eBay at a later date. The money raised will go to Susan G. Komen For The Cure. I will keep you updated on what is going on with doll as I find out. :-)
I finally finished my "Pink Artist Project" squares and got them sent out a day before the deadline. Phew!!! (wiping my brow right now). The first square has a wonderful quote and my favorite quote that says "Beautiful people cause beautiful things to happen". The second square says "Love". These squares along with other pink artists squares will be sewn onto a large doll that is being made right now by Monica Magness. When it is finished the doll will be featured in Art Doll Quarterly Magazine. A blanket and journal with a page dedicated to each artist and a picture of their squares will accompany the doll. Later it will be auctioned off on eBay and all proceeds will go to Susan G. Komen For The Cure . I will keep you updated on the doll as I get word.
The first photo is of a heart that I made for a valentine heart stuffie swap. This little heart went to my swap partner in Toronto Canada. The second photo is a pin that I made for a sewing notions pin swap. The pin went to my swap partner in Malaysia. The pin is made up of antique buttons, ribbon flower with rhinestone, pink silk bow, hat pin, 3 little thre
ad spools (I made), little needle book with tiny needles inside, brass hand charm and embroidery scissor charm with a beaded chain I added to it. I really enjoyed making this little pin.
