Cowboy Boots

Cowboy Boots are the perfect gift for the country-western little  person in your life!! 

Mocha (brown), Warm Brown, and Buff  are classic western color combinations; perfect for a girl or boy! Each boot has a "false heal" that makes them look like real boots! The boot decoration, done in warm brown, completes the western look.

This pair of Cowboy Boot was entered in the Santa Cruz County Fair and received a third place!! 

I am pleased at how well they did! There was some pretty good competition there!! 

Size: 3-6 months

Sole: 5 inches long and 2 1/2 inches wide

Length: (from the bottom of the sole to the top of the boot cuff) 7 in.

Shell Frame

Shell Frame

(to make)

 Supplies:

A frame (any size)

Hot Glue Gun and Sticks

Various Sea Shells

 I love to make these for gifts! 

Many of my friends love the beach; so this gift is perfect!! 

All you do is decide where you want your shells and glue them on! Simple as that!! You can cover the frame in shells or just put a few on, whatever you like! 

Inexpensive and nice shells can be purchased at Dollar Tree, they also have decorative glass stones for floral arrangements that are pretty and add a slightly different look to the frame! 

Mix it up and make it personal! 

Mostly just relax, have fun, and enjoy! 

 

Fall

Fall Is Upon Us

With the changing of the months comes a new season; Fall. I love Fall! 

The color changes, the spices, the decor, the fairs, holidays, family and friends gathering together! 

It's a wonderful time of year!! 

  

With the change of the seasons comes a change in crafting! Now scarves, fingerless gloves, warm socks, and the need for lovely home decor come into being! 

Below are a couple photos of some lovely fall material I am, Lord willing, hoping to wrok with soon!! 

Posts soon to follow about the crafts!

Craft Room Update

Craft Room Update

I am blssed to share part of a room in my parent's home with Mom. We call it the craft room!! 

 I started out with a table and it has grown! 

As we have collected more craft things, we have changed things around.  

Here is a little update!! 

My brother painted this cabinet for us! 

It looks great now!! 

He's a pretty awesome guy that brother of mine!

 In the craft room and stuffed!! 

It's so nice to get lots of "little things" put away that clutter up things!!

My craft table...

(That doesn't happen or last long!!)

 Thank you to the sweet lady who gave me these organizing shelves!! They're pretty awesome!
