Anniversary Candle And Box

Hello,

Here is a box I made  back in April but never got a chance to share.

Last week was hard to forget week.   I had never been so stress out. I lost appetite completely.  The one good thing happened last week was I lost at least 5 pounds. Victor lost about 10 pounds.   To make a long story short, we were dealing with out of control local borough.

Here are my questions:
 When a local government is out of control, can they be stopped? Who has power over local government?  They created laws only to benefit themselves.  How can the higher government allow this?  Many people are hurting from this local borough.    I would love to hear what everyone thinks or have any suggestion.

Until next tme

Crochet AG Doll Bathing Suit

Hello Blogger Friends,

Is it June already? The kids only have 10 more days of school, oh my.   Life had been a little hectic  lately both good and not so good.    But I felt that I need to do a quick post.  Although, it is not time for bathing suit in our area, I thought I will share it any way.  I made this adorable AG doll bathing suit a while ago.  

You can find the bathing suit tutorial here.  I am not good at knitting so for the hat I crochet it instead.

until next time....

Pink Box

Hello,

 I made this pink box last week. I wanted a simple box so this was my complete box.

It looks too plain.   So I added some details on the sides and here is the box now.

I don't know what to think of it now.  I asked Faye how the box looks.  She  said she likes the plain one better.  Hmm, may be I lost my taste in crafting.

Until next time

Here is Faye thank you card for Katie.

Until next time...

Congrats Card

Hello,

Made this card for a student-teacher  in Faye class.  I didn't know what her school color is so I went with black and white.

I also made some cards and a box for her but forgot to take a picture.  I think old age is catching up on me.

Have a marvelous Monday.  Enjoy the weather.

We R Memories Punch Board Gift Bags

Hello Blogger Friends,

I am back to do  more paper crafts.  I made this bag with my own pattern.

It took me sometime to make it.  So when I saw the We R memories gift bag punch board on sale at Joann Fabric online I was super excited and order it right away.

When I saw how small the board is 5 1/8"w x 9" H, I knew this board won't make the bag size that I needed.
   I need lots of big bags 7"x 3" x 9".  I thought this punch board will help me make the bags  faster.  It turned out the provided templates make three small gift bags.

small- 2 5/8" w x 2" D x H ( the high is adjustable)
 medium - 3" w x 2" D x H
Large - 3 5/8" w x 2" x H

Here are the bags from smallest to biggest.  

 I put some numbers together.   It required 2 pieces of 12 x 12 patterns. I was able to make bigger bags using the punch board template. The size of the bag remained 2". 

It took me longer than I like.

 I played around with some numbers.  I made 7"w x 3" D x 9" H bag without using the punch board and it was so easy.  Here are the bags. 

These bags fold flat.   I''ll share a tutorial when I have more time.

Until next time.....
