Easter Buckets

Easter Baskets don't have to come from Walmart.  You can make your own with things around your house.  Think outside the box, it doesn't have to be a basket.  These Easter Buckets are made from the many galvanized buckets I used to decorate the pews at our wedding.  With some material, hot glue and  embellishments you can have Easter Baskets that will last for many years.

My first sewing machine

I can still remember playing with it.  Who knows where it is now.  This one sells on Ebay for $39.99!  Who would have thought??

I've found my creative outlet

It has been said that "Necessity is the mother of invention".  My story is no different.  Loneliness in the night has led me down the path of creativity.  Sewing never came naturally to me, but I always found the task fascinating and satisfying.  So with little experience and lots of enthusiasm I begin my adventure in making toys.  If only my hands could work as fast as my ideas.  The possibilities are endless...I'm already getting ahead of myself.  Stay tuned…
