Great Skiing Weekend

We had a great time this weekend - skiing @ Northstar, in Tahoe. The snow was perfect and the sun was out...it was a bit crowded though, but not too bad...so glad we went. The kids did great on the snow too.

Snow Bound

Our skiies and cold weather gear are packed and we're headed to Tahoe for the long weekend. Not looking forward to the drive, but am looking forward to skiing and visiting with our friends. I've packed up some stamps, punches and paper for the kids to do some crafting - they're usually 4-6 young kids up there and it's fun to see what they create.

Happy Presidents Day! Valentines Day! Chinese New Year!

New Necklace

Kristen Robinson makes beautiful jewerly - I recently purchased this one from her etsy site. Just love how she packages it as well...I don't want to open it. I love jewerly art - cuz I can wear it too.

Rachel's Felt Food

Okay, Rachel is out crafting me...so she completed 5 more projects this weekend...while I worked back on my quilt and did some stamping & cutting with some new Catherine Moore stamps.

Here's Rachel's new projects from this weekend...Peanut Butter & Jelly jars; strawberry; carrot; cracker, cheese & ham.

Super Bowl Sunday was a beautiful day in the Bay Area...Lana, Frances, Rachel & I spent the afternoon over in San Francisco @ Japantown...how fun that was. We had lunch over there and shopped at some great little stores there, with just adorable stuff. It's now Rachel's favorite place to shop...not to mention, I found some great pieces myself. Can't wait to go back.

Rachel's Sketch Comes To Life

Rachel (11 yrs old) loves to sketch in her notebook every day - she takes the notebook to school with her and any spare time, she pulls it out and starts sketching away. Tonight, she brought one of her skteches to life (in felt). Here's some pictures of her sketch book...

More Hearts

You can never had too many hearts...I made this one tonight. A little bit of sewing, cutting and small embellishments. Nice quick project and I got some crafting in for the day.











I was happy to find this paper at Michaels' this weekend for only $3. It's the 12x12 pad from Making Memories - the vintage Findings line.

Finished Journal

I finished my "Remains of the Day" journal project by Mary Ann Moss. I loved using up old scraps (paper and fabric) and sewing everything together. I didn't take a picture of every page - but my favs...
