Not my best work

Okay so I have a friend having a baby in December. I have learned how to make "rag" quilts and tend to give those as baby shower gifts. Well her shower was last weekend and I was not able to attend the shower. But I still wanted to make her a quilt. I had a day off work last week so I headed to Hobby Lobby to get the makings of a quilt. I was so excited to get working on this that I finished it in one day. I can tell I finished it in one day because it looks really bad! My squares are uneven and there are colors too close together for my liking.

My mother, bless her, told me it looked great. So has everyone else I have shown it to. I really don't like it, when I told my mom that she told me to give it to her dog for Christmas and make another one for my friend, I am toying with the idea, but don't know for sure. I guess I will have to make another one and see which one I like best I guess. Let me know what you think. I can always use the extra criticism.

Christmas anyone?

Okay so I am a little ahead of schedule, but my mom wants to make her own Christmas cards and so do I. So I thought I would get started on mine while we wait for her newest order to come in. I came up with 3 different cards and don't know which one I like best. My husband likes the navy with snowflakes or the red one with the hat and mittens. Let me know what you guys think. I like them all, maybe I will make them all, yeah right.

It's been awhile, but I've been crafty

So I know it has been a while, but in that time, I have been busy. I made a lot of cards, but didn't get pictures of all of them. But here are a few of the ones I got. The first one is for my husband's cousin who recently had a baby and they had a shower for him.

Next two are for friends who have been having a difficult week or two and I thought a homemade card would cheer them up!!

I've been tagged

So I got tagged by Charmaine, sorry if I spelled that wrong. I have never do this before, so I hope I am doing it right.
