Saint Patrick's Day Decor

Since Valentine's Day is over I need to decorate my door for the next holiday. I didn't want to spend any money on decorations so I looked around and used what I had. I had a cute door hanger I was given that is a  leprechaun lady. I needed some sort of garland to hang at the top of the door. Another teacher at my school had made a garland from scrapbook paper and used it in her classroom. I decided I could do that.

Here are the steps for a very simple and low cost garland.

Supplies:

White thread

Sewing machine

Cricut machine or large paper cutter for the holes

card stock ( I used left over scrap book paper)

Step one: cut out circles to use

Step two: add circles through the sewing machine one at a time. 

Step three: done and ready to hang up

Now I need to go rewrite my chalkboard too!

Trees in Bloom!

It is an exciting time of year around my house. All of my fruit trees are in bloom. We have been lucky with warm and beautiful weather so that all the trees will be pollinated.

Apricots just about ready to pop!

Its really starting to feel like springtime.

Jewelry Designs

This week I have been enjoying time off from school for our February Break. For the past few years I have been designing, making and selling jewelry. This week I needed to update my jewelry at the stores I sell at and even made a bunch of new pieces.

I made a bunch of necklaces with conchos I had purchased in Las Vegas

Here is some of the jewelry I put together this week. I had fun working with turquoise, pink and blue stones.
