Sugar Cookie Scrub

I thought I would try another sugar scrub.  I have super sensitive skin and seem to have more allergy issues the older I get.  Which is not that much fun, but you learn to deal.  It calls for a few more ingredients than the Lemon Sugar Scrub, that I had made earlier.

W.I.P. Wednesday #6 - When Dresdens Attack

I have a confession.  I am addicted to making Dresdens.  I can't seem to get enough.  I dream about them.  I scheme about them.  They are in my every thought.  I finished two this week, both the same and both very different.  But alas I can only show you this one, I hear there is to be a Dresden Challenge coming up with prizes.  A little birdie told me at  Freshly Pieced.  I am quite excited since I can't get them out of my head.



I was going to send the other pillow off to the Sewing Shop this weekend, but I couldn't bare to see it leave.  I could decorate a whole room around the  two of them.  (Unless they are stolen in the night by a family member.)  My sis has an eye for the new one.  I might have to change the locks.


Found this great camo material for another one of my bags.  Too bad they are being left in the dust by the Attacking Dresdens!


W.I.P. - one messenger bag, two swim bags and two more Dresden pillows.
Accomplished - two Dresden pillows and one crocheted flower pillow.

Hopefully I can keep more of the Dresdens at bay next week!

Memorial Day

Here is the United States, we have Memorial Day.  A day in which we pay tribute to the men and women who have made the ultimate sacrifice for our country.  We also say Thank you to all the men and women who served and made it  home.  Most come with battle scars that are visible and more with ones that no one but them can even see.  So this day and every day, I say "Thank You", to the soldiers and their families that have served before and are currently serving.  Now, I will leave you with a some Red, White, and Blue.

Dresden Pillow - Mystery Project

I starting working on this as a competition for a local fabric shop.  They supplied the purple color and I had to come up with the rest.  It is the first Dresden I completed and I loved every minute, and I am actually working on a second.  I am so excited to show you my completion.
