Seasonal

My mom is an amazing quilter and crafter and I am in awe every time I go to her house as she shows me everything she has accomplished. I truly have a lot to live up to! Last year she did a 12 x12 little quilted piece for each month and she hung it on a little stand. Most of them were so adorable and I enjoyed watching each month as she made new ones. This year she is doing something similar but they came prepackaged in months similar to a block of the month club. They of course are darling!! I do not have the time or money to make monthly quilted hangings but I thought perhaps I could make something a little more suitable for the yarn-y stuff I do! So I made some stitch markers!! I made little red and white heart beads out of sculpey and 2 little hearts with faces. Seeing as this is the first time I've ever made anything with polymer clay I think they turned out really cute!! I also made an owl (where I got the idea in the first place) from www.repeatcrafterme.com where she made such cute owl stitch markers. Anyway, it gave me ideas for other things to make as the year goes. Thanks for looking!!
