creations

This is a bird cage I created from a picture that I had in my head. As I walked home from church activites during the winter months there was on open field where there were vines growing freely, so I would take them home and create .I have different wreaths that I have made.

I made this wall quilt at a quilting class that we have at our church.The 4th of July was the theme we were following.

This is the float that I helped to assemble for the 24th of july parade in Salt Lake City ,Utah, it shows all the L.D.S. Temples that we have in the Salt Lake valley.

I made this set of pillows from some fabric that was once something else ,(a bed skirt) I like to reuse what I can when I can.

The apron was a gift I made for a woman that is homebound. It is made of checked fabric.The cheery fabric served it's purpose.

sand castles

Yesterday Aug 13th we -My family and I went on a outing. To a beach down past the ogden area,I had a good day , just being with the grandkids,swimming and building sand castles.My grandson and I were building sandcastles most of the day, it was difficut to keep them standing .everytime a boat would come past the waves would wash away our castles. It was pretty fun. we haven't been able to get together for a long time because of everyones work schedules. We managed to get 3 of us together from our family.
Today my sister and her husband flew in from back east, to visit. she came for our family reunion tomorrow . It will be nice to have her around for a while we don't get to see her much.Its raining out today just a little shower now and then, it feels so nice and refreshing.

Fall

hello again: It has been a busy month already, getting ready to send the kids back to school,worries of what they are going to wear, and knowing that the rat race will be on soon. I'm happy to say that my daughter is nearing the end of her schooling years. Last week I made two lap quilts for our family reunion.In two weeks there will be another reunion, which I am hoping to make another quilt.

I attended an funeral today, It is really sad how we procrastenate so much and so many things, thinking that we'll get to it tomorrow, sometimes tomorrow never comes. I coppied this saying off of the program it was very inspiring to me.

Life is short,

Break the rules,

Forgive quickly,

Kiss slowly, Love truly,

Laugh uncontrollaby,

And never regret

Anything that made

You smile!

Cathedral Window

This is a picture my friends son created, he has shown me some of his most unique art work. He is very good at his detailing work. This is called paper cutting.

.I wanted to make a wall hanging for my friend, with this picture . This is how it turned out.
When you hold the picture up, with the light behind it. It looks as thought it is a real stained glass window.
