fUn DaY!!

Instead of working on projects that have some sort of deadline, I PLaYeD today in my studio!!
I made some Valentine's Day ornaments or gift toppers.
I do plan on having a tutorial for them, although I know you can probably figure them out on your own, they are very simple.
My secret sister from last quarter, Tina, wanted to do a Spring Cottage swap and I was game!!
We decided to swap three cottages made from Nanette's infamous Christmas Cottage Tutorial made in the colors of spring. I tell you, these cottages are so addicting and so fun to make for every season!! I know I'll be doing one for Halloween, so heads up!
I had so much fun selecting fabrics since I don't usually use pastels, but I'm enchanted with the idea of a Spring Cottage Quilt!
I also prepared a primitive flower applique for my Calendar Quilt. I'll post pics of that when I'm done applying it.
Have a creative day!

This is what I got from my secret sister for January. It's a quilted Valentine's bag that held a box of CHOCOLATES and a kit to make a charming Valentine table runner! Very sweet!!
THANK YOU!!!

These are my fabrics for Pat Sloan's Orange Project . I need to get some more 'range' in my oranges and pick just two other colors.
This project is so good for me since this year I am trying to be more creative instead of just following a pattern.

I found a fun and easy tutorial for fabric covered magnets at JCasa Handmade's blog. There are numerous tutorials on her creative blog, but this one I could actually do with my son!

Here are my feathered friends I made for Regina's Bird of Change Exchange.
I made five and will get five different ones back!
It's a glorfied version of a bird I came up with to use as gift toppers for my Christmas gifts as shown below.
