Making plans to visit my Wisconsin family.
Checking plane ticket pricing.
And we've flown from Gateway in Mesa,
which is less busy and cheaper even with
a large airline company! But we have to wait
until my fly date gets closer. The end of May
is my plan.
 
 
 
Little 4" bee skep made with jute.
 
 
More card bobbins.
 
 
Edited watch face photo.
 
My first altered bottle.
 
Spring is getting closer!
Everything is blossoming soon here in the
southwest...
Hope you all are having a
great Sunday.

Cardboard Bobbins~

 
 
More bobbins have been ordered.
I'm addicted to making these.
There are endless graphics
to apply to these.
 
 
 
Waiting to be cut out and applied to the bobbins. 
 
 
There are about 35 here, I sent my sister
6.  :)  In the vintage photo are my paternal grandmother (sitting
in the chair) and a few of her brothers and sisters.
There were 12 Shannon children all together!
 
 

 
I do have more lace
to fill a few more cards.
 
 

 
The crochet lace above was made by my mother-in-law
a long time ago.
 
 
 


 Fun, fun, fun.



 
 

 
Some of these trims are very old.
 
 

 
Vintage French lace.
Some of you are asking where I get my designs
and graphics.  Some of the bobbins are covered
with scrapbook papers. A few are done with graphics
And one is from Dawn's The Feathered Nest
I also used stamps and ink.
I'll do a tutorial next week.
 
 
Are you keeping busy?
 
Spring is on the way!
 
Have a wonderful weekend
Blog friends.
Don't be shy, leave a quick comment.
Love it when you stop and visit!
 
:)
