Time Fly's

Well life has been passing my by way tooooo fast lately!!!!!! I cannot believe that we are in July already and I cannot imagine that I will be walking down the aisle in 40 days to marry my best friend. We just recently had our Jack and Jill to celebrate the up and coming wedding. It was a blast!!!! Although I hate being the center of attention...... it wasn't too bad. I just thought of it as trial run of how it will be the day of the wedding.

So besides wedding stuff going on I have also been crafting my little heart away. First I worked on a couple of loveys to send off to Oklahoma for the children that were affected by the tornado that hit.

Next were some cards that I had made for a swap in a group that I am apart of. The theme for the first card was coffee/tea time so I found this beautiful pot with a lovely leaf design on it. The next card's theme was the color green so I made a frog card (what else is better to do with a green theme??)

 



I love making things for charity so I joined this group that makes quilts for children who are sick and for children in orphanages. The group is called Charity Cross-Stitching for Sfpsfc & Sick Children in Need  
they are always looking for more people to help full-fill the blankets or to sponsor a quilt for a child if you don't know how to cross stitch.  The next three pictures are made for a little boy who requested a bug quilt. The fourth picture is of Toby from Thomas and friends. One of the members in the group created the chart specifically for the charity group.

 Another one of my stitching projects is a HEAD chart called QS Porthole of Fantasy by Jasmine Becket-Griffith. I am part of a SAL for this project which is why I have gotten so far in it. Right now I am finishing up page 5 and will be moving one to page 4.

Well I guess that is all for today. I am off to work on my next project. Here's a sneak peak. I cannot wait for it to be put together.
