Halloween lights

I made some candle jars for Halloween...

book jewels

Here is another project I got started on - book jewels.  Sheri gave me a beautiful book mark for Christmas one year, and it inspired me to make some.  I had a lot of fun, and used up a lot of beads and thread I already had at home (and I bought more, of course).
I sold some at craft sales, and gave a lot away to my card club, my book club, my D.U.P. club.  They were fun.

Pillowcases

Here is another project I did one year - pillowcases!  I made pillowcases for all of Sheri's kids for every holiday during the year, including birthdays, and even seasons.  They have smaller pillows, not a full-sized one, so a half yard was enough to make each pillowcase.  And all during the year I found cute fabrics for the coming seasons and holidays. Here is a photo of the Valentine's Day cases...
The kids love to sleep on them, and when I go to visit, I sleep on them, too.
