Frames and Silhouettes

Remember a long, long time ago in a galaxy...well this galaxy actually I bought some frames at the dollar store.  These frames found here, for 25 cents!  I wanted to do silhouettes of my children and try my hand at refinishing the frames.  They didn't turn out perfect because I do not read directions.  For $1.50, directions are totally over-rated!  WEll this week I got my rear in gear and finally finished my project and actually hung the frames.

 I love it!  Another fun way to show off my most precious possession!

Silhouette Quilt

Using the same technique that I used on the Mr. and Mrs. Pillows, a few of us moms are putting together a quilt for a retiring teacher.  Here is a sample block.  I am so excited to see how it turns out.  Hopefully as cute as I imagine!
