Whoo Hoo!! I finally got some crafting done! I have been slowly working on my new bowl fillers for months now. Cutting out the patterns, machine sewing, hand sewing, a little painting (the noses!), hand stitching the mouths, gluing on antique trims and buttons, glittering, designing & making the tags, making some potpourri, bagging the potpourri, and finally putting it all together in a cellophane bag and tying it with a big bow! Whew! I'm not sure it was all worth it! I put so much time into these that surely they are worth $100 each! LOL! Give me your expert opinions on them and price ideas. I'd love your feedback! The hearts have different words on each set like Peace, Love, Harmony & Live, Laugh, Love.
Well I am on to the next crafting adventure when I get back from my trip. Today I'm looking for bath rugs & towels for my newly decorated bathroom. Then I have to iron some clothes & start packing... I'm also practicing for a solo to sing Sunday in church. It is the new Amy Grant song "Better Than A Hallelujah". If you haven't heard it, you need to. It is totally awesome. As soon as I heard it, I knew I had to sing it. This is my first solo in about 9 years! I've sang a few duets, but not all by my lonesome! Of course I won't really be alone, will I? Then shortly after, I leave on my trip. Lots going on... Have a wonderful remainder of July everyone.
Blessings,
Cindy

You want feedback? Everything turned out absolutely beautiful-Even the packaging is wonderful!
Keep up the great work!

Robin,
Thank you for the wonderful post and letting me know I have a soul sister out there enjoying creating a little Christmas in the summer! ;-) As for feeling normal, don't rely on me for that validation! lol Thanks also for becoming my 6th follower! Your camping trip looked great. We are going camping again in 2 weeks near Bandon, OR. Someday maybe we will make it to WA. Happy Creating!!
Blessings,
Cindy
Hi Cindy.
Thank you for your kind words left on my blog.
Your holiday creations are beautiful!
Wishing you a wonderful week!
Hugs, Sharon
Thank you, Sharon. I am thinking of you. Pain is a hard thing to deal with and takes so much out of you. Take your time doing things and rest when you need to. God is with you...
I am enjoying my vist this morning...Wonderful bags, very festive. I really should start on Christmas myself as time sneeks up on a person. We don't get enough for our hand work anymore, it is hard to price things...its the hardest part of selling. I imagine people will love these bags though. Are you doing a show or sale?
I love your trip to the beach, love seeing it again...I do miss the coast.

Marcie,
I am so happy to have you visit and enjoy what I have posted!! I really means a lot to me. I am in a boutique type craft show. It is called Snowflake Boutique here in Redmond, Oregon. I think it is the best in the area. I am also the Jury Chairman. Thank you on your comments on my bags. I always love seeing them all lined up & ready to go!! LOL! We just had another trip to the beach that I will post some pics on soon. This time it was near Bandon, which is definitely different scenery than further north. The coast is my sanctuary!
Blessings,
Cindy
