Thanksgiving stones

Quick little project:  painting letters on stones.  With a little bag, of course.  Stones are used to spell out words from the letters in Thanksgiving.  Once a teacher...

Fancy dresses

This was a fun, quick little project.  Directions are here, but not in English.  The dresses are made of cotton fabric and felt sandwiched together with Steam-a-Seam.  The buttonhole stitch around the edge almost looks like crochet or lace.  So cute.  I looked on the internet to try to find colored elastic, but then I remembered that I had some elastic headbands in my craft cupboard.  They worked great.  I probably could have used the bands just the length they were, but I shortened them a bit.  I will be making more when I buy more headbands!
PS:  I just found some colored elastic at JoAnn Fabrics.  But I think I still like the headbands best.

Bags for benefits

All of these cuties are going to different benefit auctions.  More on the way...

Mail Call

What could be in this mail bag?
Mail for the whole family!
All of the pieces are made of felt and velcro together.


 I printed out the names on fabric using freezer paper to run it through the printer.

Can't wait to have some of these letters delivered.
