White Tea Light

Hello,

I've decorated many tea lights before but I've never try them in white.  This time I thought I'll give them a try and I love it!  Now I need to fine someone who love them enough to buy them. lol







I like the first one better.  I think the pointy label made it prettier.

Thanks for cheeking in.  I truly appreciated it.

Symthpay Card

Hello,

I made this card for my good friend.  Her dad just passed away recently.  I  met the deceased a few times.  Therefore, it was hard to make this card even though  it was a quick card.

The embossing folder was from Ac Moore by Darice.

Lots Of Beaded Flowers

Hello,

I tried the beaded flowers before but I couldn't do it.  My fingers couldn't handle the wire or may be because I didn't use the right tool and the right technique.  After I saw Dr. Sonia bead flowers, I wanted  to give it another try.,  I found a few tutorials.

And this is what I was  doing all day yesterday with my 5 years old helper. She always wanted to help so this time I thought she can actually help and she did.  I had her put the 6 white beads in the wire and I would finish the flower and together we made all these.





 
  I tried these with the color beads on the outside.  I thought they didn't come out as nice as the white beads on the outside.  So I went back and made more like the above flowers.  I also made all white bead flowers. We made at least 100 flowers yesterday.
Then my daughter wanted to make the bead flower all by herself.  I showed her how to and these are her flowers made all by herself. After I took the picture of her flower, she made a lots more. She said that she couldn't help it; it was so much fun. 

Thanks for checking in.

I made this since last year but I don't think I ever share this.


The shoes fit gift card perfectly and it can also hold other goodies for baby shower.  I got the template from splistcoast stamper a few years ago. The template is no longer there.

Have a wonderful weekend!

Crochet Fingerless Gloves

Hello,

I've always wanted one of this when it first came out.  I don't know why I didn't make one sooner.  I am glad I finally made them.  They are so easy to make and look so cool when wear them.  With the inspiration from etsy and google I made these.


 Then my two sons wanted one too.  This one is for my younger son.  When I added the thumb, some how they look like tree trunk but they look really cool when he wear them. 

The picture below was my first pair. I used the tutorial here.  The design look nice but when I wore them they look funny. I took them a part.


Thanks for stopping by!

Altered Wooden Baskets

Hello,

I haven't done any paper craft in the past 3 months.  I had these wooden baskets sitting around collecting dust so a few days ago I decided to dress them up.  Boy! I had to dust some dust off my papers and punches. 

















All flowers were made by me. :)  The pink and yellow flowers were made using Caron Simply soft yarn.  They were the same flowers that I used to make the rose afghan but I like this tight stitches better.  Tutorial for the flower is here.  The other flowers were made using size 10 crochet thread.

Thanks for stopping by.
