Happy Birthday Banner Card
This is what I worked on one morning while the kiddos worked on math and language lessons.
It was inspired by something that I saw at Target the day before. To see a picture of the felt banner, click here.

Summer Swap Sneak Peek
If you are Sandi - don't look yet - it's on its way! Otherwise - I can't wait!!! (and I am afraid I might not get to it later).
A bit of a closer view:
My just turned 11 year old daughter got in on the action. She was very eager to get started on craft projects for the summer. If you go to the library, you can tell she has been there - the craft book section will be empty. These are two projects she found to add to the swap. The one on the left is a felt coffee bean sachet - great for the car, purse, or drawer. On the right, a hand crafted needle book. I love the that my girl is creative and industrious!
Next up: Hopefully a perfect gift for a Victorian Gypsy!
A tiny tin from England.
This is a truly original creation. The flowers are free handed. Can you tell what they are? Tulip, Impatient, and a crazy Dandelion in vintage orange. Can you guess what it is? It's a tissue cozy. Yep, no more crunched up tissues at the bottom of the purse. Pretty handy, huh?
Of course, I had to make a Bread Basket Blanket for her. I used some of my favorite material. Looking at her blog: www.VictorianGypsy.blogspot.com I figured it might work with her decor.
All wrapped up and ready to go!

Warming Up
This Will Be Fun
I was so excited to see that my friend Roxi is hosting a swap! I have been waiting to be a part of a swap after finding out about BackTack - I was too late to get on board for that, but we made a Wee Bunny anyway. The timing for the "Not Too Shabby" Summer Swap will be a bit tight with it being in May since it is the end of the school year, lots of field trips, birthday parties, etc. But, (throwing caution to the wind) I really don't want to miss out on this!
This is our Wee Bunny!
