Baby Stuff I Made for a Good Friend

I made a lot of this quite awhile ago, but my friend only received & opened it today. So now I can show everyone else.

My friend V lives in Calgary and is due to have a baby girl any day now :)

These are a few of the things I sent her.

Pic intensive.

A crocheted stroller blanket.


A baby quilt.


A couple baby hats, also crocheted.



This is a cradle & mini album I made her. I got the idea from Anne's Paper Creations. I asked her permission to copy it - there isn't a pattern, I just looked at her instructions & pictures. You can find her version HERE.

Cute Peanut Randomness

This is what Peanut does after a nap & a nice long stretch...




Just look at that face :)

Hi remember me?

I have been a slacker and haven't posted in forever - please forgive me.

Not a lot to tell you, not much happening.

Had a craft show, my 3rd, on Sunday Nov 4th. I sold 6 things, made $36, but the table cost $25, so I cleared $11 - woo hoo!

I had an interview a couple weeks ago - haven't heard anything from them yet, it is for a bank - they are almost as bad as the gov't with rushing things (insert sarcasm here).

I lost my art mojo for awhile. I hope to get it back soon.

Hubs & kid are going hunting tomorrow afternoon til Sunday - that means me & the dogs will be home alone! ART time - I hope. I have a ton of things I could work on or do.

Below are LOTS of photos of two mini albums with quotes I made recently - one for my friend Annette, the other for the craft sale. My sister H ended up buying it for a friend.

Each tag & insert has a quote or two. I didn't get pics of all the ones in H's mini though.





































Grungy Gretchen Flip-Thru

This is a flip-through of a recently completed journal of mine. I call it GG (grungy Gretchen), it is so far from my usual style but I enjoy...
