Glasses Cases

Tonight I made a couple of glasses cases, one for myself and one for Theresa.  But she doesn't know about it yet.  It is a secret. She doesn't read my blog. They started out like this:

Then I did the quilting.  Diagonal lines on Theresa's (which by the way is almost identical to one I made for Sarah last week.)
And straight line quilting on mine.  Mine matches the pillow I made to put behind my back in my car.
Then I sewed on the binding and added velcro, and they were done.  Not very much trouble,  but a lot of cuteness.

A Bed for Soucy (a.k.a. the most spoiled dog in the world)


You can buy dog beds anywhere, but making one is way more fun.  He liked it a lot, until I tried to put him there too many times trying to take his picture, and now he won't go anywhere near it.  "Oh, no, Mom is going to make me lay down on that nice soft bed again!"  I just don't know.

My First Blog

Hi, I'm Tina, and I am ALWAYS obsessively making something.  I'm 51 years old, and I have 4 kids, but since they are all grown up but have yet to provide me with any grandchildren, I have all the time in the world to do whatever fussily creative thing is on my mind at any given time.  So, instead of taking pictures of my accomplishments with my phone and texting them to my family,  I have decided to start this blog and keep the 3 or 4 people who are interested up to date on what I am doing.  Thank you for visiting, and I hope you might be inspired to make something yourself.  If you need lessons, and what you want to do is something I have done before, let me know and I will try to show you what I know.
