Shabby strips skirts

 I made skirts for the two littlest girls in the family.
After sewing on the strips, I cut them down the middle.
This is what it looked like after I washed it.
I cut the strips on the bias so they didn't really ravel.
So easy to do and I love the look.

Easter Goodies

 Filled these cuties with candy...found out that M and M's don't work.
They fall through the openings.  These are cute, but really don't hold much candy.
 Check out this cute little bunny choir.
They are actually finger puppets...one for each grandchild.

 I made these for the grandkids, too.  Inside each egg is a little reminder
of one part of the Easter story:  donkey, coins, cloth, sword, bread, cross, etc.
I'm hoping the older kids will be able to use the objects to tell the story themselves.
(No sewing involved, but I included it in this blog anyways.)

Birthday gift-part 2

  Made a little journal cover for Miss Z.  It matches her marker roll.

Tried to make the letters look a little shabby
Just made a little pocket to slip the notebook into.
And added a velcro tab to keep it closed.
