A Creative Twist - Quilling

A Creative Twist is the new shop that I just opened for my sister-in-law. I mentioned her over the summer when she showed me how to do what she does. She makes quilled gift boxes, bookmarks and gift tags. If you double click on these photos you can really appreciate the details of her work. She lives in Colombia so I brought back some inventory with me and I'll be selling it for her from Etsy. You can visit her page HERE. I hope she does well because she truly enjoys what she makes. Aren't these cute? I certainly don't have the patience for this kind of work!

another break

I'm going to be taking a blogging hiatus this week (except for Crafty Synergy which I'll continue). I need to catch up on a ton of work. Lots of good things going on so this isn't a bad thing. I'll be back with good news.

Have a good week everyone! :)

Something blue

So here is the little guy that I semi posted the other day. I got this idea to make the little people on my cards more 3D-ish and here's the result. The canvas is 6" x 6" and the actual baby and bassinette are about 2" x 1.5". I don't know why I started out with a baby boy. I don't know anyone that is having one any time soon and I'm certainly not going to either - we're DONE! ;)

a good night's rest does wonders

I just re-read my post from yesterday and it seems so whiny - the CS part. So I'd rather leave for the weekend on a positive note by sharing some photos.


I got some "just because" flowers (the best kind!) from my hubby yesterday.


Our princess (as she calls herself) has been painting a masterpiece this week.


Lastly there's a table set by yours truly, with the direction of our little C. Anyone hungry? Cookie Monster and Ernie are willing to share. :) Have a great weekend!
