My Garden Scrapbook

I started creating a scrapbook about 3 years ago that features the plants in my garden. I finally dug it out of stash and decided that this is the year I finish it.

For the scrapbook I am altering an old readers digest. Originally I was going to keep the cover as shown in this photo.

And yesterday this is what I did to the cover. I made the flower using some old cotton fabric that I had.

I must say forgive me for the quality of pictures. I can't find the disc that transfers the photos from my big camera to my computer so am using my phone for photos.

And here is a look at the pages I have done so far. I still have about 20 pages to go before it is finished. Getting this done is my goal for the summer.

This is the opening page underneath that confetti envelope I will put a small poem about flowers and the dates.

I will come back and do another post once I get the book finished. Thank you for taking the time to stop by and to look at my project.

Staying Focused

I don't know if it has to do with age, stages of grief , depression or the weather but I have a hard time lately staying focused on one thing. 

I was starting to find my way back to doing project life, scrapbooking and cardmaking and then WHAM nothing. No longer have my Mojo!

So I went back to sewing which seems to keep my mind occupied and my hands busy.

Here are a few projects from the past couple of weeks.

My knit dishcloths and scrubbies (not pictured) remain in high demand and I can't keep them in stock.

Large coloring activity totes are new for me this year. Last year I created the smaller version for young kids. 

A friend gave me a ton of fabric and a charm pack so I created some quilts for gifts and a few to keep to be used later.

More of my large coloring totes. I made 8 for our church bazaar which is held in December. I still need to add crayons to some of the bags.

And one last tote. This one was popular with the ladies at my church craft group.

Thanks for stopping by and I hope to be back soon with some kind of paper crafts.

Enjoy your day my friends.
