Yo Yo Quilt

Wow! Check out this beautiful Yo-yo quilt my mom made.  She is very crafty and loves to make things. Over our long snow she was able to sit and make eight-hundred yo-yo's.  It is very special because it's made of my grandma's left over material.  The quilt is beautiful!  She even did two pillowcases to match.    I would love to make my daughter Sophia one with colorful fabric for her bed.

Spring Is on its Way!

I'm starting to get the planting itch.  I can't wait to plant flowers and make the yard look pretty again.  I went to the Christmas Tree Shop and got some seeds and peat pots.  I went to my moms house and took some pics of spring.  I want to plant some tomatoes, cilantro and cucumbers so I can make salsa this summer.

 

Sally Jean

I love making Soldered Art Charms!!! One of my favorite artist is Sally Jean Alexander.  She has written a beautiful book called Pretty Little Things.  I found this book several years ago on Amazon and finally got it back out and started some projects.

This is my soldering Tool Box:)  I have all my tools in a shoebox. Works perfect for storing all my gadgets!

Here is the glass circle cutter my father made for me.  He is an awesome inventor!

Here is my grinder with a diamond wheel used for smoothing down rough edges.

Putting the copper tape around the glass. 

The finished product! 

A sweet little keychain!!  Thank you Sally Jean for Pretty Little Things!
