I love playing with paper as much as I love playing with fabric. I love playing with colors. It was just a happy coincidence that I am a quilter now! I have a pretty selection of Christmas fabric but I was just too tired to use it! Instead, I bought colored paper and a few paper punches. I already had a few polystyrene shapes and because my 3 year old nephew Alex was here for many days, I … [Read more...]
45!
Yesterday was my birthday - I am getting older! But the good news is that I am very happy with my life and I have no desire to be 20 years old again.

Sanda was part of it; I would have loved to share it with all my quilting friends that were part of the quilt. Isn't the … [Read more...]

I have now Orla Kiely pencil holders - made with wrapping paper. How much did they cost me ? Under $2! ...and after! If you are curious about Mod Podge, here is an article - … [Read more...]
Paper Stars
Yesterday I played with glitter paper. I made these stars, following this tutorial. Quick and easy ! The stars look great if you glue them on a window. And if you use semi-transparent paper, the pattern of the star looks even more complicated. It is very easy to fold the 8 pieces. Glue can be used to assemble the star. Since my paper was very thick, I stitched them together, using … [Read more...]
