I want to say HAPPY HOLIDAYS to all of you!  I say "Merry Christmas", where you may say "Happy Hannukah" or "Happy Kwanza", or a different wish altogether!  Whichever it is, it is all meant in the same way...Be Happy and Be Thankful! I've also been thinking about my blog and my Facebook page.  I really want to do more with them, and make them more fun and interesting.  I have a few thoughts, but

A BUNCH OF ZIPPYS! I haven't created anything new for awhile, and it began to drive me crazy! I had always been interested in trying a zipper bag, so....I did! I googled "How to make a zipper bag", and found lots of great tutorials.  I read thru many of them, taking mental notes, and adjusted them to create what I wanted to end up with. My first one was OK, but I could see many things I needed to

CRUMB QUILT I just decided that I want to start giving 10% of my profits in my Bon Bons and More shop on Etsy to the feral cat program I help my sister with, WIFCaP.  So from now on, I will do that! It feels so good to hear that those kitties are being fed decent food every day, being spayed or neutered (which means no more new babies & healthier!), and that winter shelters will be provided for

"Happy is the home with at least one cat" ~ Old Italian proverb My sis Kathy is working hard at getting her feral cat program up and running in Walnut, IA.  She is having her first organizational meeting tomorrow, and is getting all possibilities covered! She has set up both a blog and a FaceBook Page for the program. The blog has a really cool spot where you can easily donate any amount to the

BUTTONS AND BEADS KEY CHAIN So I've been looking at my big collection of buttons for quite some time, trying to figure out what to do with them.  The other day, this idea popped into my head! This is my first try...I like it, but like most creators, as I was working on this one, I thought of many other things to do with this idea.  But you are seeing my first one! Part of the reason for

OK...more about helping kitty rescue groups... I had a bunch of old sheets, and plenty of poly batting, so made up some small kitty quilts, or cat mats... I cut the sheets into approximately a fat quarter size (18" x 22"), matched 2 different coordinating prints, and sewed them together with the batting in the middle. It was EASY and QUICK!  The five shown will be sent to Shadow Cats Rescue in

More on my q-pon (coupon) adventure... I have continued to google about q-poning, and am learning more and more everyday. I realize there are some guidelines and rules that I am going to follow. Because we are an empty nest couple, we obviously don't need as much as a younger family with children. So I'm thinking my stockpile will be much smaller, and a bit more defined. Here are a couple

Have you seen the new reality show "Extreme Couponing"?  Its pretty fantastic! It shows women and men that have taken coupon clipping way beyond what I ever dreamed of doing. I must say, many of them go to the extremes, literally.  Some of their stockpiles would last for years, and they have the stockpiled items stashed in every room of their homes. But it got me to thinking....Maybe I could save

BON BONS SKIRTS Yesterday, I had the urge to make something cute, so came up with a couple of summery little girls skirts. I had a great striped sheet I wanted to repurpose, so found some of my gorgeous Kaffe Fassett fabrics that blended well, and created these sweet "Bon Bons" skirts.  (Bon Bons is the original name for my first Etsy creations a couple of years ago). These skirts can be

I've been reorganizing and destashing my quilt studio. TOO MUCH STUFF!  I have so many great quilt magazines, and have enjoyed them so much over the years.  Sometimes, to either relax or get inspired, I would sit with a stack of them in the evening, looking through them.  It was funny, because as my interests changed, I would notice a different project each time I looked through a magazine...it

My daughter is getting closer to her due date for Baby #2.  She is scheduled for a c-section on April 6, and the ultrasound says another "Boy" will be appearing.  Living half a country away from my kids makes me sad, and I'm hoping some day soon we are a lot closer.  But for now, I have to be happy with a few visits a year.  And of course, being there on the first day of a new grandsons life is

I've been trying to figure out fun ways to use some of the buttons in my collection, and tried these out today. They are fun to make, and addicting! These are all made to pin onto something...your jacket, bag, sweater, or whatever... but I'm going to add some flowers to head bands, too! ENJOY!

"IT'S A HOOT" BABY QUILTJust wanted to show off this fun quilt, the first in my new "Modern Baby Quilt Series". I'm usually a traditional, very scrappy, quilt maker, but I have many of these bright, contemporary prints in my fabric shop, and was inspired to make something a little different for me. I'm binding the second one in the series today! And the winner of my Fat Quarter Give Away has been

Things have been a little hairy around here, which is my only excuse for not updating for a while! One thing I have accomplished in the last few days is creating a Face Book Fan Page for my businesses.  I still have a lot to learn about making it what I want it to be, but its looking pretty good. My goal right now is to get more "LIKES" on my page, and would love for you to help me with that!So .

OK...I just spent a lot of time looking through a bunch of quilt magazines, my 12 year collection.  I kept a few that I felt I really needed, but the rest I would love to pass on to others.  I haven't counted, but there is somewhere between 100-200, published back into the 90's, all gently used.  I'm going to sell them, but at low prices.  My objective is just to find a new home for them, with

"RED, I SAID..." This was a fun quilt to make.  I gave myself the challenge of making 16 patch blocks with squares and half-squares, and coming up with interesting block designs using those elements.  And of course, its scrappy fabrics! This quilt is listed for sale in my Etsy gift shop, Bon Bons and More.

How cute is this?  This is my 2 year old grandson, Ben, dressed up as "Super Why" for Halloween.  I'm not up on the current childrens shows, but I guess he loves "Super Why", and he had so much fun in his costume that his mommy put together for him.Its just wrong being so far away from him!

MAKE YOUR OWN "GREEN" BUSINESS CARDS I was browsing around on YouTube yesterday, and found this cool video - "MAKE BUSINESS CARDS FROM CEREAL BOXES"I loved the idea because I love to recycle, repurpose, and reuse.  So this morning I put the idea to work for me.  I had to do mine a little different.  I don't have a rubber stamp with my business info on it, and I'm too impatient to wait for one!  I
