looking back to 2018.........part 1

Last January we made this Starbucks Journal for Valentine's Class at the OKC  Paper Crown

February Shrink Pin class........

March classes........

March fun.........

April was a full month.........

and then off to the Whatever House in Kansas........

and  return back to teach my last class at the OKC Paper Crown.........

Looking back to all these photos brought back so many wonderful memories we all share and still remember the good times and friendships we made because of Cindy and the Paper Crown.  We all miss those days, things change and life and living still goes on.  As the store closed I knew I had to do something to keep my days and mind busy........so stop back by tomorrow to see what happened after those sweet doors closed at Casady Square.

Happy New Year's Eve.......stay safe and see you in 2019!

 

Merry Christmas 2018

Even though this is from a few years back I just wanted to Wish you all the Merriest of this holiday season and the reason we celebrate.  This past year has had a lot of changes........for the most part the older we get you have to be flexible and just move forward...........so with saying that we are moving forward into 2019 ................MERRY CHRISTMAS everyone!!!!!

punch needle ornaments........

I finished these small ornaments up and hopefully they will make someone happy!  You can see the little red berries (beads)in the last 2 photos, and I added the gold string to hang........to finish the back I just cut a piece of felt the same size as the ornament and glued it .........super easy!

Hopefully next year I can get with the program now and make a tree full of these. 

Happy wet thursday here in Oklahoma..........

happy wednesday...........

Finished this big 6 dozen order for Christmas Sugar Cookies last night..........although I love to frost cookies when I have time, these took about 8 hours! A little more time than usual but I wanted to make them special for a dear friend.  Sure hope she likes them.

 

Last week we went out of town for a couple days and I came back with some new Punch Needle work.........

Changed up the colors a bit on this........not quite finished but Santa needs eyes, a few berries on the tree and then he will be ready to turn into an ornament.........

This cute lunch box holds all of my fun threads............my collection of these threads was to much for my other bag so thought this would be a fun way to hold them.......

 

Hope you all are keeping busy with holiday fun............Happy Wednesday

 

it's cold outside but smells like Christmas inside today..........

One of the vendors this past weekend at the Christmas Market has a local florist shop ( Lily Grass) and she had the most wonderful fresh greenery.....so I just had to have a couple bunches..... my house at least smell like Christmas ( this is our off year for the kids not to be here so I don't decorate) and this is my only decorations ............but when you walk in it smells sooooooooooooo good!  Any time you can get fresh greenery to look and smell this good everything is going to be okay!

 

( and thank you all who have emailed and ordered)   Happy tuesday all.........

december 2018..........

I always love making a December Journal even if I don't keep up with the days but it's always fun to do one.........these are just a few pages.  I used an old red and black hardback journal that was the right size....( you can even see in the last photo on the spine it says Journal) I took all the insides out and replaced it with 3 signatures......I know it is way to many but I just kept on adding pages......

 

Thank you to all those who came and supported me at the BFC Christmas Market........so much fun seeing so many of you and to visit for a minute.  This was the second year my church has put on this fun market. If you didn't get to come and are needing a gift or two I have a few things left over.  Email me at jpeter@cox.net and maybe we can solve that problem.

 

Happy monday and have a great week!
