Here are a few that my grand made.<br />
<br />
We have so much fun thinking of new and sometimes old projects and I believe that she has so much fun making glitter houses. These are her originals. Nana stands by and helps out when called apon.<br />
Such talent , going to follow in her Nanas footsteps. HA HA!!<br />
<br />
<br />
Enjoy!!<br />

Our vegetable garden has been in now three weeks and already the<br />
green onions are ready to pick.<br />
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhiUzW_mN894d8h5GDsyVVtF4ywnD-mxVm3DTOxPSPJ6cHiJF_k5RZh7-_hETfmdgohCgvOhE0IsbKwdwtxYOMXs33ypwzRVegqptZR_E1s7SlHqXD72SNNIrCvRG6dxroxwFMBMABPZks/s1600/garden+man+005.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="240" rba="true" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhiUzW_mN894d8h5GDsyVVtF4ywnD-mxVm3DTOxPSPJ6cHiJF_k5RZh7-_hETfmdgohCgvOhE0IsbKwdwtxYOMXs33ypwzRVegqptZR_E1s7SlHqXD72SNNIrCvRG6dxroxwFMBMABPZks/s320/garden+man+005.jpg" width="320" /></a><br />
<br />
I put in tomatoes,peas,corn,carrots,swisschard,spinach,leaks,sweet onions,basil,<br />
egg plant,sweet peppers,zuccini,cucunbers,chives, pumpkins and sunflowers.<br />
That should keep us going for awhile.<br />
<br />
Today my grandaughter was over and we made a garden man.<br />
<br />
While visiting <a href="http://www.confessionsofaplateaddict.blogspot.ca/">Debbie</a> @ Confessions of a Plate Addict she had a great tutorial ,<br />
on how to make a garden man.<br />
<br />
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEij-CjhMza5y2bJgu0js7rkFSGrB59DUJIlLSWo8_a09EltA7z2ezcc0CAAYFyND9ZbFBYm9Wlnf6uKN7As6s0nFqA3TJnaOvCscet4mGJ9dQFa7ga0BqhH5S0hfBZGos9QQGP_dS3JBmPs/s1600/044_thumb%5B20%5D.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" closure_uid_xeqorh="2" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEij-CjhMza5y2bJgu0js7rkFSGrB59DUJIlLSWo8_a09EltA7z2ezcc0CAAYFyND9ZbFBYm9Wlnf6uKN7As6s0nFqA3TJnaOvCscet4mGJ9dQFa7ga0BqhH5S0hfBZGos9QQGP_dS3JBmPs/s1600/044_thumb%5B20%5D.jpg" /></a><br />
<br />
So we gathered my pots, twine, corks,and a long stick and began to make <br />
a garden man.<br />
We added some plants from the garden for his hair.<br />
We think he turned out just great.<br />
<br />

we decided to go on a road trip. Out came the 49 for the first time this year.<br />
We drove 1 1/2 hours and ended up here. Queensville Antiques. 16,000 sq ft of<br />
antiques and collectables.<br />
I was on the hunt for white ironstone. Jugs, plates etc. To add to my collection.<br />
Upon entering you see lots of eye candy.<br />

<br />
I ordered this fabric from Avonport Discount Centre, Avonport, N.S. last week and it<br />
arrived licky split. <br />
2 1/2 mtres of turkey red... as per <a href="http://thepaintedquilt.blogspot.ca/">Kaaren at the Painted Quilt.</a><br />
When I had seen her fabric <img alt="DSCN0875" border="0" height="279" src="http://lh5.ggpht.com/-YD6DC3Atq_s/T4VgQmCBMtI/AAAAAAAAHNc/R5C85QWPtEE/DSCN0875_thumb5.jpg?imgmax=800" style="background-image: none; border-bottom-width: 0px; border-left-width: 0px; border-right-width: 0px; border-top-width: 0px; display: block; float: none; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;" title="DSCN0875" width="365" /><br />

Here is my fabric, 2 1/2 metres of Turkey red. Ohhhh it's perfect.<br />

<strong>I had only made one log cabin quilt in the time that I have been quilting and that has to be</strong><br />
<strong>more than 20 years ago.</strong><br />
<strong><br />
</strong><br />
<strong>I had this fabric (kansas troubles) left over from another quilt and wasn't</strong><br />
<strong>sure as to the pattern.</strong><br />
<strong>Then it hit me. I had the right amount of darks and lights. </strong><br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgv0VA6DB5QyZBUdttnGxgZPaDlRRSgxVRmC1EiT-RsTayOmQba5dQjQ7rLJcl4fA2l5qLXDWJZYSWSNzBlFUkb1mjjukyUeZ7epEjxWdOXpgEj3mde0Y-HQK9KLRdsPVB1DOUZbtCp6QQ/s1600/log+cabin+quilt+002.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" nda="true" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgv0VA6DB5QyZBUdttnGxgZPaDlRRSgxVRmC1EiT-RsTayOmQba5dQjQ7rLJcl4fA2l5qLXDWJZYSWSNzBlFUkb1mjjukyUeZ7epEjxWdOXpgEj3mde0Y-HQK9KLRdsPVB1DOUZbtCp6QQ/s640/log+cabin+quilt+002.jpg" width="480" /></a></div><strong>So this quilt was born.</strong><br />
<strong>It measures 50" by 62". A nice size for a lap quilt.</strong><br />
<strong><br />
</strong><br />
<strong>It all started last fall. I was offered a Schwinn bike.</strong> <br />
<a class="image" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Cruiser_bike1.jpg"><img alt="" class="thumbimage" height="300" src="http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/thumb/1/11/Cruiser_bike1.jpg/220px-Cruiser_bike1.jpg" width="400" /></a><br />
<strong> Yes it's has been awhile since I rode a bike</strong><br />
<strong>but you know the old saying you never forget. So I did a trade off.</strong><br />
<strong>The bike for a quilt.</strong><br />
<strong>I am really pleased how this lap quilt turned out and I know the recipient will be pleased.</strong><br />
<strong>So this Easter weekend I pick up my schwinn bike</strong><br />
<strong> and my sister-in-law gets this gorgeous quilt.</strong><br />
<strong>I can't wait to go riding with Mr. Dh.</strong><br />

All winter he enjoys working with wood.<br />
<br />
Here is his another finish... A Bulldozer. He made three. One to keep for his collection<br />
and the other two went to a dear friends grandsons. They were delighted. One boy was 10,<br />
the other was 5.<br />
<br />

</div>This last project was the longest and had the most pieces to cut.<br />
Again he made three, one for his collection and the other two went to <br />
nephews. They also showed much delight and thanks. These young lads were<br />
3 and 6 years of age.<br />
<br />
The shop has been cleaned now and sits for his arrival next Oct.<br />
So without further ado here is his latest <br />
<br />

<span style="font-size: large;"> It's a crafting party here @ Lavender Ridge.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;"> Here my grandaughter painted her 8 x 10 canvas blue.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"> Then she added her clouds and a beautiful gold sun.</span><br />
<br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;">Out came the glue gun and glued on sheet moss as well loose moss.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">Then with the green rafria and some pink and purple tissue was added to make</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">flowers and nests.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">Then she started making eggs of many colours with clay.</span><br />
<br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;">The fun part was gluing the eggs onto the nests. </span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;">Next came the Easter Bunnies made also from clay and of course the carrots.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">Don't they look yummy?</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;">Now did I happen to mention that my grandaughter is only <strong>8 years old.</strong></span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;">Yesterday we had a balmy 5 degrees celcius. That's warm for this time of the year</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">in Ontario. Our snow just about gone.</span><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />
</div><span style="font-size: large;">Now the weatherman told us it's going to snow. So be prepared.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">We expected a storm like no other, but we received maybe 4 inches of the heavy stuff.</span><br />

<br />
<span style="font-size: large;">Well I have been sewing up a storm and still have </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">more than half of the quilt </span><span style="font-size: large;">to finish.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">Somedays I just can't seem to get inspired enough to go to my sewing studio.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">Do you have days like that?</span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;"> Oh well it's winter still here in Ontario, Canada.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">So I have been in my sewing studio sewing my little heart out.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">I'm making a queen size quilt for my eldest grandson.</span><br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhN4Woj2Qt9rIctwfc5ShQhrEq2-cZ9ul513FC18Le8bSU1RDzGMqs7RGYTRdvAGqC2qScZb1H8YNJP_-OtlGehh4Q-eMEm0Q5_PluN-C0FLiB3UNqXRzF7JCLWpO4gCtTcG0U-8rEjYbg/s1600/erics+quilt.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhN4Woj2Qt9rIctwfc5ShQhrEq2-cZ9ul513FC18Le8bSU1RDzGMqs7RGYTRdvAGqC2qScZb1H8YNJP_-OtlGehh4Q-eMEm0Q5_PluN-C0FLiB3UNqXRzF7JCLWpO4gCtTcG0U-8rEjYbg/s320/erics+quilt.jpg" width="240" yda="true" /></a></div><span style="font-size: large;">This is the fabric I picked out and started cutting 2 1/2 " strips.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">I find that my June Tailor Shape Cut Plus works best and cuts the time in half.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">The rail fence pattern goes together with ease.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">Sew 3 stips together than cut at 6 1/2 " intervals. I get a total of 6 cuts from each.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">I need a total of 224 6 1/2" blocks. Well I have a long way to go.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><strong>Just a reminder that my giveaway is still on til Feb 20.</strong></span><br />

It measures 68" X 84".<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />
</div><strong>I JUST LOVE HOW IT TURNED OUT</strong>.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />
</div>I also made a <strong>pillow sham</strong> <a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjF6m9kbQZGzoPxDnjlGJsz4wB1bZnN9GuxtBeto4FG9-Wh2u83tCIu5XecYacrun-qAM0-lBKv_xEFU5QRN7N5BxwC8tYwkCJa8fL94tUoHmrRfgSmlxLSeS4kEmky7OqGnii55tzoQUY/s1600/alex+new+quilt+011_picnik.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" gda="true" height="300" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjF6m9kbQZGzoPxDnjlGJsz4wB1bZnN9GuxtBeto4FG9-Wh2u83tCIu5XecYacrun-qAM0-lBKv_xEFU5QRN7N5BxwC8tYwkCJa8fL94tUoHmrRfgSmlxLSeS4kEmky7OqGnii55tzoQUY/s400/alex+new+quilt+011_picnik.jpg" width="400" /></a>to match. The sham measures 32 x 25 with a 2" flange.<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
I used scraps to make the centre and then used my leftover fabric for the rest. <br />

I do all my own quilting on a little gracie frame. <br />
I used a meandering or stipple effect on both the sham and the quilt.<br />
<br />
Enjoy!<br />

</a></div>I had seen them on the <a href="http://confessionsofaplateaddict.blogspot.com/">CONFESSIONS OF A PLATE ADDICT, </a>and I knew I had to have them.<br />

</a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"></div>Here is my inspiration from BALLARD DESIGNS.<a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-Xf_jdbMkleM/TvSCJKIfMnI/AAAAAAAACn8/hZx-mUJwefQ/s1600/ballard+pillow_thumb%255B5%255D.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="312" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-Xf_jdbMkleM/TvSCJKIfMnI/AAAAAAAACn8/hZx-mUJwefQ/s320/ballard+pillow_thumb%255B5%255D.jpg" width="320" /></a> Now that looks super easy.<br />
I had all the fabric , so I went to my sewing studio and began to cut a finished 16 x 16 pillow.<br />
Added the JOYEUX NOEL first with my iron on transfer then on went the tree. I used Jute for the trunk and a red ribbon bow for the top.<br />
Here is mine<a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-6kv5RT6X5nw/TvSHZcNKMWI/AAAAAAAACpE/SQz1cVvwm-8/s1600/joyouix+noel+pillow+001.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="300" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-6kv5RT6X5nw/TvSHZcNKMWI/AAAAAAAACpE/SQz1cVvwm-8/s400/joyouix+noel+pillow+001.jpg" width="400" /></a>.<br />

Now I'm not done yet, PB had a poinsettia pillow on line for 37.77 , made with burlap linen and felt.<br />
<br />
You know where I'm going with this don't you.<br />
Cut my burlap linen to size, cut out poinsettia leaves , adhered them to the fabric with my glue gun, added<br />
the bells for the center, stitched the two together and stuffed it with poly fill..<br />
This cute little pillow cost me O. <a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-pG3ZkpL--yM/TvSGIkwSYrI/AAAAAAAACoU/On2ew5fmlwc/s1600/poinsettia+pillow+002_picnik.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="300" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-pG3ZkpL--yM/TvSGIkwSYrI/AAAAAAAACoU/On2ew5fmlwc/s400/poinsettia+pillow+002_picnik.jpg" width="400" /></a> Just my time.<br />
<br />
Not finished yet..On to another project. I had these stars that I made years ago for a craft sale.<br />
I printed off some sheet music (<a href="http://graphicsfairy.blogspot.com/">courtesy of the graphic fairy) </a>and went about glueing the torn pieces onto the star with Mod Podge. When the piece was still a little tacky I sprinkled on some glitter.<br />
Here it is all finished and hanging inside a wreath.<br />
