Sugar Cookie Rainbows and Unicorns

 I made these pretty cookies for my granddaughter'party.

Pillow Covers

My 20 x 20 in. Pillow Covers.

16 x 16 in. Pillow Covers.

 12 x 16 in. Pillow Covers.

I love all these pillow covers and I am pleased how they turned out. The smallest ones (12 x 16 in.) I made for travel.

Hanging dish towel

Wow. This hanging dish towel took effort and patience. This is a first for me. First time pleating 15 inches into 6 inches. A first time sewing a button hole. 

I made mistakes. I sewed the top part and went to mark a hemline but accidentally grabbed my rotary cutter and cut off the bottom. So I had to cut out two new pieces to sew together and re sew. 

I keep tell myself that practice makes perfect! I do know that the more I sew the better I get.

Easter Banners

I used a bunny template I printed from Pinterest and traced it onto corrugated paper (easier to do tracing with). I then traced bunnies onto my scrapbook paper and cut each one out. 

The bunny tails I used a circle punch and a permanent glue stick. I saw a lot of tutorials of bunny banners where pompoms were used as the tail. I thought paper would be nice to use and easier to store for next year. 

For the bird banner I used one of my bird punches. So much easier than cutting out the bunnies. I used left over scrapbook paper. 

I used a hole punch on the bunnies and birds and put string through the animals to hang up.

It’s fun to add color and cuteness to your home decor. 

Sunflower artwork

This turned out to be lovely. I purchased the metal sunflower from Hobby Lobby. I painted the wood dark green. I stapled twine to the back so I can hang the art work. I used gorilla glue to attach the sunflower to the wood. 

Using scaffolding to trim palm tree

My husband uses scaffolding to get up high enough to cut the dead palm fronds off the palm trees in our back yard. I took this picture of him as he laid down to rest for a short bit. It's a lot of hard work to maintain the palm trees. I appreciate him for his ability to work hard.
