Last Week Recap

4:19 PM | Posted by Mel
Here are some magnets I've made for the Autism Awareness Day Fundraiser that will be right here on my blog on April 2nd (just a couple of days!!)
To recap what's going on on Thursday, click here!  Make sure to sign up on that post for a giveaway that ends on April 1st!
I was making the magnets during a birthday party for my nephew Scotty and sold some there on the spot!  I will have a tutorial for them later on in the month, so keep a look out!
Busy, busy, busy newborn fun!  I've been helping my sis-in-law's family since her baby boy, Collin Steven, decided to come 6 1/2 weeks early!  I have had her other two darling boys, Scotty and Grant, a couple of times this last week so she can get rest and go into the hospital to visit Collin.  He is home now though and doing well!
In addition to making magnets, playing with little boys, and snuggling with a new born I found some fun stuff online!  Pandora Radio! You can make play lists and it will find similar artists, I've been listening to some pretty good tunes!
Also, this site has been around for almost forever, Make It and Love It, but I finally found it yesterday!  Tutorials, tutorials, tutorials!  I don't think I've seen more tutorials from any ONE person!  There are sites that have multiple contributors, but this gal has done over 40 and they are all great!
Have a cReaTive week, I'm off to make some more fundraiser items!

Days Of Our Lives Autism Kickoff!

10:24 PM | Posted by Mel
Cast members of the popular soap opera, Days of Our Lives kickoff the Autism Speaks, Walk Now for Autism in Glendale, California. Read here about what I'm doing to promote Autism awareness during the month of April. Donate, win prizes, get info!
Updates on the wonderful people who are generously donating to the cause.
Nann of The Quilted Pomegranate has made a fun Outdoor Game Bag for the fundraiser!

Mr and Mrs Pippins made a kind donation to the Walk Now for Autsim even that I will be part of May 2, 2009. I'm a bit embarrassed because I only know most of you by your first name or your blog name, and I'm not sure who to personally thank but please know that I am very greatful for your gift!

It touches me deeply that so many of you are responding to my post of Autism awareness.
tHanK yOu!!
Take a look at the other items here and here, that have been lovingly donated for the Autism Awareness Fundraiser. Items will be available for purchase on April 2nd, 2009 here on my blog!
Take a button for a reminder and spread the word!

fUn DaY!!

1:15 AM | Posted by Mel
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!
