Memorial Day

I wanted to take a moment to remember the sacrifices that have been made by our veterans and still are being made by by the men and women of our armed services. God Bless you everyone.

Angel Bookmark

  This bookmark, I made as a tribute to my mother for Mother’s Day.  

  My mother was a professional seamstress and  an artist. Growing up we wore hand tailored clothes without ever realizing the value of her creations.  My mother seldom bought patterns she would make her own.  She was someone who could make something from nothing.  She had the ability to see the smallest of details which she used all throughout her artwork.  She was one of the kindest people you could ever meet. I can remember her sewing first day of school outfits for those without mothers in their lives. She taught us poetry as children ,(most I still remember). She planted magnificent gardens and grew African violets for gifts to others. She was probably the greatest inspirations I could ever have had . My mother had a unique way of helping others without them ever realizing what she was doing.  Although she passed on very young, the lessons she taught us of life, have lived on in each of us.(her children).

  Tomorrow on Mother’s Day I will add this bookmark to her album of pictures as I count my blessings that she was my mother.

Happy May Day

 

 

These are the May Day Tussy Mussy’s I have made.Below is a sneak preview of my May Banner. Held up only by my search of butterflies.

Easter Brunch Table

  Welcome to my Easter Brunch. There is still so much to do but I am so glad you stopped by………

This is one Tired Rabbit. The bunnies Below look a little out of sorts but just wait till tomorrow I have a big surprise for them. 

  I hope you enjoyed my Easter Brunch Table and even more that you have a wonderful Easter…………From The Victorian Rabbit

  Use what you have and have what you use. Total cost for this project is $3.00.  I purchased three packages of glitter eggs at the dollar store.

Elegant handmade card

  A friend at work not only made us each a beautiful card, she even showed us how to make them. She stamped the design on card stock, embossed the design then glued metallic ribbon to sides and finished with beads. What do you think?

  She then wrote a poem of Easter wishes in gold ink. The envelope closes with a gold sparkly bunny.

Victorian Easter Banner

The Easter Banner is complete. I hope you enjoy this project. Happy Easter to all.

 

Silly rabbit…I should have known it would take more than one day to complete this glorious banner. Today I am making the Victorian bunnies to complete the look. problem is I have so many supplies I keep finding more to add. Banner will be hanging tomorrow. I’ll add a picture of the completed project then.

 

  My First Project What could it be? I guess I should tell you a little about myself. I love to craft, I enjoy a project even more if I don’t have to buy any supplies. Everything for this project I had the ingredients for, yep no trips to Jo Ann's. I have acquired a lot of supplies through thrifty shopping as well as free downloads.

  I love my job and decided to make some decorations for the lovely people I work with.

  I printed from  the rose motif banner pieces and cupcake toppers at “Accent The Party” and then cut the designs from black foam sheets. I glued mauve ribbon around each piece. Then glued silver strand beads around the borders.

  These are some other items I pulled for this project just because.

  Tomorrow I will Post the finished project. I sure hope you check back.

    Use what you have and have what you use. My total cost for this project was $0.00. I already had all supplies.
