Practice Dress

10:29 AM
Months ago, my local JoAnns was relocating across town, and getting rid of all their inventory.  They were selling their Vogue sewing patterns for only $2.00, the cheapest I've ever seen other than that occasion they're $4.00.

Spring Scarf 2

10:49 AM
Here's another light scarf for Spring. I first made the ruffle scarf from Dana, then decided I'd like a few more light scarves. So here's a basic, simple one.

Tree Landscape Painting {Ballard Designs Knock-Off}

1:04 AM
Acrylic on MDF 24" x 48" in 3 panels I have never really liked having this mirror above my mantle.  It's tall enough, when anyone looks in the mirror, you just see the ceiling fan.  So I've been thinking of something else up there for a while.   When I saw these prints in Ballard Design's catalog, I loved them, the colors are...
