Makin some magnets!

This Saturday is a Home and Garden and craft show that I'm doing. So I've been busy getting things ready for that. I've been making some magnets to sell. I always sell a ton of these things and every year there is always something that someone asks for that I didn't have.

Last year it was Elvis, so I made some with him. Plus some Elizabeth Taylor ones as well.

I think I'll make some Shirley Temple ones next. Plus some odds and ends of some funky stuff. Baby strollers and what not.

These are the glass marbles I use. I buy them at the Dollar Tree because I like them better. They are flatter and rounder and clearer, and they are only a dollar!!

I buy the magnet buttons at good ol Wally-world. Why I call it that I don't know, maybe cause my mom did! Oh and a 1 inch circle paper punch and glue.

Last but not least is a pic I just wanted to share of our Boxer Ray. He always looks out this door and I am FOREVER cleaning the snot off of it!! Only when the mail-man comes does it get shut! He doesn't like him at all! Well I hope everyone has a great day, or evening because it's now 6:00 in the evening here! See ya!!

Where did it go?

I don't know what happend to spring today or where it went, but dang-it, I want it back!! I guess until then I'll be dreaming of these lovely roses from my yard last year.

I can't wait to get out there and dig in the dirt and get dirty and be oh so tired and sore the next day from all the hard work.

So now if Mother Nature would quit playing cruel jokes on us, it would be nice!

GoofyGoober yes I am!!

Well I am such a goober! I posted and then realized it was closed!! Such a goof! Well, enjoy anyways! Have a great day everyone!

Fly for freedom

Finally I have this finished! I was busy with the quilts and then I had to catch up on cleaning my house! It's amazing how I am the only one who can do things around here! But anyways here is my newest collage for Green Paper. It kinda through me for a loop with the little bank card on there, so I cut it up and it's her nest. A little of the border is her belt. I'm so glad I carved out some time here and there to finish this. I can't stand to leave things undone and they just stare at me!! Lisa, Lisa, I can hear them calling my name as I go to do laundry. They won't shut-up so I have to finish them. Laundry can wait.

Enjoy the journey!

Just a little artwork I managed to fit in yesterday. I had an idea and couldn't rest till I had it out of my little head! Do you ever get that way too? Enjoy the journey...you don't want to miss anything!

Finished pictures!

Ok pictures of the finally finished circus quilt. I wished I could've gotten a better shot of it but, I was the only one home so there wasn't anyone to help hold it up. I don't know why, but my quilting doesn't seem to thrill anyone around here! :) That's ok though. Sometimes everyone can be so distracting when I'm sewing. I think I need to change my name from MOM to gosh I don't know Lisa maybe! Mom's not here leave a message at the beep!

And of course that darn cat is on it again! Every time I spread it out for a picture there she goes thinking it's for her. Well I'm off to start on the other one. Hope everyone has a great day!

Circus quilt done!!

WEll that one is finished. I'll take a pic tomorrow when , hopefully we will have some sun!! So instead I thought I would show you these! I don't think I have already shown you. Well this one a teacher bought last year from me. It was made with vintage fabrics from the antique store. Love it!! It was a baby size quilt. She was hoping that if she had the quilts her daughter would make some babies to go with them!! Well she finally did get her grandaughter! So happy for her!

This one was for a cousin I think. Yes it was. Her room was pink and green! So cute! I hope everyone is having a good week so far. My hubby is gone on another fishing trip to Alabama, my parents went to Mardi Gras and I'm stuck here at home in Illinios.....BULLCRAP I Say!!!!
