Make Mine Buffalo Plaid


Here is another tree ornament just like the Jute ornament, only using fabric strips!  I am thinking about adding a ribbon bow on the top of the tree.



The supplies are: foam tree (from Hobby Lobby), one strip of fabric that is about 1" in width and 30" in length.  I tore it so it would have the rustic look.  You will need a glue gun and I used jute for a hang loop on the top.
 I started at the bottom on this ornament. Glue a strip on the bottom, then cut as you go, layering the next strip above and keep going up.  Just before I put the top layer on I cut a small square and put it on the tip then layered the last strip.  Is this clear as mud?  

 I think the fabric can really be a great way to go to use the color theme you choose.  And adding bows on top would really be cute!  Let me see what you do with this project!!!

From Twigs to Trees!

OK, girlfriends, I'm ready to show you what I have been working on for weeks and weeks.  I told you I was working on something for two special people - it is done!  Let me tell you who, what, when, where, and why.  For as long as I can remember I have given my girls a "Happy December" present.  I just love the Christmas season so much that I am ready to begin the celebration.  So on December 1 I would have a gift for my kids.  They might come home from school and find a Christmas shirt on their bed or I would present them with Christmas socks or a Christmas trinket, maybe cookie cutters or sticker book.  Just something.   For fun!  This year I made: Grapevine Christmas trees!!!!  I had lots of help!  My sister, Nancy, Mark, and Hank all helped me gather the vines.  Poor Hank got poison twice from helping me find vines!  Then I wrapped the vines around a tomato cage using the vines and thin wire. ...

One Month To Live

Have you ever focused on life on those terms.....one month, 30 days, and it is over?  There is a book by Kerry and Chris Shook entitled just that.  "One Month To Live."  If you consider, contemplate, study this aspect of life in an honest for real way - you just might begin to walk a little differently. This past Sunday, my husband introduced this thought of what would we do if we knew we only had one month to live.  He passed out 3 X 5 cards and asked everyone to write what they would do.  I will tell you the expanded version of what I wrote. 1.  I would like to spend time with my family (bonus: at the beach) so I could enjoy the love and laughter and fun we always share.  I would want time with my kids so I could tell them how awesome they are, how proud they make me feel because of their heart they each have for God, because of the love they share with one another, and because of the way I see them care for those around them.   I love to see...
