Spring is in the Air!

What beautiful weather we are having.  I am so ready for Easter!  Here is a card I designed using an Inky Antics bunny stamp.  So much fun!

Copic Standard Certification Class

On February 17th I took the Copic Standard Certification Class from Debbie Olson.  I learned so much it is impossible to write all of it down.  Now I can update my blog with all sorts of new Copic tricks.  Happy Blogging!

New Hobby

Over the month of January I have been involved in two new hobbies.  One is Zumba with TerryG at http://www.alamanceorangezumba.com/about-us.php.  She has inspired me to get moving again.  I go on Monday and Thursday if anyone would like to join me.

The second hobby is yarn Spinning.  I love it.  We started with a drop spindle and moved to a Spinning Wheel.  Mary Anne at Three Waters Farm has opened a whole new world to me. To see her beautiful hand dyed roving go to www.threewatersfarm.com 

So in honor of my upcoming 39th Birthday we are added an addition to our family at Schacht Lady Bug Spinning Wheel.  I am so excited!!!

Keep checking back on the Blog to see what beautiful yarn I have been spinning!

Valentine's Day Card

I had fun putting together this Valentine's day card.  I used my Cricut to cut out the title, Copics and a little Stickles.  Enjoy!

Fall Colors

This time of year really makes me want to go play in a pile of leaves.  Here is a scrapbook page I did showing Macchiato playing in the leaves for me.  I used the Basic Grey Max and Whiskers line.

Fair Isle Hat from Vogue Fall 2010

I made two hats from the Vogue Fall 2010 pattern. I took a class at the Hillsborough Yarn Shop to help me with the construction of the hat.   The first hat is made with the recommended colors and yarn.  The yarn was discontinued so for the second hat I used Cascade Super Wash 220.

Fancy Chipboard Purses

Here are two Chipboard Purse Albums I made for my Aunt Dana.  I used the Echo Park "Be Mine" Collection Kit. I love the rich pink and the intricate designs in the black and white.
