My weekend project for the week is SouleMama's Gratitude Wrap Project. I made it for my younger sister who is a busy, busy lawyer. I am motivated to take on a more complicated craft project if it is meant to be a gift. Perhaps the sister would need a handy, dainty case to carry a journal/notepad/pen to use during meetings or conferences or wherever. Amanda' Soule's gratitude wrap tutorial can be found here.

It's been a searing hot day today with blue skies and tumultuous billowy clouds. The hibiscus patch was just blooming away!

By the way, Elizabeth of EV Photochic is having a photography sale of her beautiful still life and decorative prints on her Etsy shop from Aug 27 to Sept. 3. Have a look see!

Hello! A happy week to all! Just dropped by to show the completed Miss Cupcake Doll (from Emily's Black Apple Doll tutorial) and doll quilt I've been working on since last week. Just finished sewing them today. It's a holiday in here so I really enjoyed uninterrupted free time just sewing and creating. This is also the first time I've ever made a doll quilt or a quilt for that matter. I think it can double as a placemat or table accent too.

Have a blessed week!

Feel free to adjust the pattern sizes on your printer's photo editor before printing. Resize patterns as you see fit.

I share Hanna's love for all things cute and girly! No matter what my age, I'll always be 11 years old giddy. Indeed, I truly believe in keeping one's inner child alive and happy. I paint my own blue skies, string pearls of rainbows, walk on green grass like it's holy ground and just wonder at the beauty of this earth and the great opportunity of being alive and connected to all that is.

The beautiful Gina passed on this award to me a couple of weeks ago and I listed 6 things that made me happy as of the moment. Now, I'm passing on this award to the following six gals. I would love to know the Six Things that Make You Happy Right Now!

1. Suzanne of Create Fun & Mess
2. Cindy of Lucy's Tales from Home
3. Louise of This is My Patch
4. Hanna of Create and Live Happy
5. Elizabeth of EV Photo Chic
6. Rachael of Sweet Nothings

A big thank you to Louise for sharing her Blogging Friends Forever Award with me. Thank you for thinking of me! Your friendship means a lot.

I'll be back with some more posts. In the meantime have a fantastic Saturday!

I put up a little clothesline organizer/bulletin thingy today. I decorated it with a dress up doll paper ornament from Kiddley. You can download the paper doll template here.

1. Make some fabric/paper birds in spring time colours and decorate with beads, buttons and ribbons.
2. Gather some wooden clothespins.
3. Hot glue birds to clothespins and let dry.
4. Use on your clothesline organizer or use as paper clamp.

Also, we can never have too many pincushions can we? I made this little hedgie pincushion using this pattern. Adorable but my hedgie looks like a rat. I should try making another one in felt I think.
