March Challenge - Green

The challenge for this month has been "Green" and that is exactly what I have been doing. Making things to sell and make a little "green."

Here are a few sneak peeks at what I plan on selling at a boutique this coming fall.
7 balls, 4 hats, and one onesie down... much more work to do.

Today I finished 4 pillowcases for the One Million Pillowcase Challenge. Please join the challenge and give the gift of a nice pillowcase to people in need in your community.

February: Love

I made these Valentine's crafts as examples for our Relief Society craft we are going to do in February.

We got the wood from the Wood Connection in Salt Lake.

First, I painted the wood. Next I traced the letters and cut out the scrapbook paper and mod podged it onto the wood. I also used mod podged as a glue for the craft glitter.

January: Snow

Skye-o place challenged people to learn new things and create something each month for 2010 with the theme. I'm going to take that challenge. January was easy. I had some wooden snowflakes I found on clearance at a store a few years ago which I never finished and always meant to. I just painted them white and blue and used craft glitter to add a little bit of sparkle. Nothing much, just easy and fun. Take the challenge and see what you can come up with.
