Tutorial for a Little "Cake Stand"

Ever since I saw this little beauty ( below) from Cherry's Jubilee, I've wanted to try my hand at one. Better late than never.
I think Cherry used a flat piece of wood, but I decided to use the lid of an old box.



Below, I cut my own striped scallops by using this Christmas paper as my pattern.







Using the gloss acrylic sealer really gave it a nice sheen.





Happy creating!  : )

Stars and Stripes Forever

I filed this photo away last year, from MarthaStewart.com. She gives the instructions on her website under 'Holidays' if I remember right.
I'm not sure why, but ever since I can remember I have loved anything patriotic, nautical, or red, white and blue. I just adore it all!!!




The next two photos came from Jenny B. Harris last year, of 'Allsorts'.

Since the Fourth of July is only a month away, I had to try my hand at these little patriotic tweets.

This little guy sold in between the time I listed him and got this Post published...no worries, I put another one in. : )
These two below, made me think of the Declaration of Independence AND the American Flag, together. Ha!
And...something new in the Shop this year. : )






Happy Summertime!!!!!!!

Next Big Project

See these 12 little flags?

They'll eventually be turned into this:



Did you notice the little flags on the star (below)? :-D

But before I can finish my flag quilt, I need to finish another one of these!!! This one below, is for a sweet friend. Go here to see the first ones I made for my daughter's wedding last Fall.
(Below), Margie took my suggestion, found here, and ran with it. Man, I'm jealous!!!

Have a good week,
