Fruit of the Spirit Dish Gloves

I had a special request from a good friend for 18
 of my "Fancy Smacie" Dish Gloves.

My motto is...
If you have to do housework
you may  as well look good doing it!

This was Linda's  last week for the bible study she was leading
 on "Fruit of the Spirit". 
 She wanted to do something special for the gals.
  So why not FANCY dish gloves. 
 Last year I was in the study and you may recall the gloves I made.  Take a look HERE.
Linda's only  request  was that the fabric had to have fruit on it.
So off I went to find "Fruity" fabric!

Here's what I came up with...

 .
I didn't want to use the typical fruit fabric.
  I wanted something bright that reminded me of spring time.


I love the PINK plaid fabric that I used for the yo-yos. 
I think you know by now that PINK is my favorite color.
 The fabric worked well with PINK dish gloves. 
 Gotta have a rhinestone for some BLING
 while doing the household chores.
So I added these MEGA teardrop rhinestones
 to the center of the Yo-Yo.


I wanted to do something special for Linda,
so I decided to make matching gift bags for the gloves.


I had lots of scrap fabric
because I had to match the Fruit pattern on each glove. 
I tore the fabric into strips and hot glued it to the bags.


The color combo was PERFECT !



 I made a tag for each bag that had the verse from Galatians 5:22.
I added a little flower and a bit more BLING
 with another  rhinestone.


This Red and White polka dot ribbon went perfectly
 and I had it in my STASH!


 
I had to try on a pair while doing some dusting.
It put a smile on my face.


The gloves were delivered and the last bible study was today.
Everyone seemed to enjoy their new
"Fancy Smancie" Dish Gloves.


These gloves are the perfect Mother's Day gift. 
 If you are interested in a pair with the matching gift bag,
 contact me.
.  The gloves and matching bag are $15.99 plus shipping.
  I also have some fun styles in  my ETSY SHOP.

Handmade Coasters for a Gift...

Recently I have taken up knitting.

 I like doing it, but I am frustrated.
I've started about FOURprojects!

You might say that's quite ambitious,
 but let me tell you why...
I am constantly making a mistake!
So when that happens,
 I need to set aside the project until I can ASK bother again, someone who can undo what I have knitted incorrectly.
  It is frustrating and I can't wait until the day
when I can fix my own mistakes.

Well, you ask what does this have to do with "Coasters"?
One of my "knitting friends" was having a birthday and I needed a quick gift for a get together.

Here's what I came up with...




Don't you just love the saying.  

I love the site Quotegarden.com
Just search for a specific subject and they will have a saying for it.
Actually it did not say "knitting" it said needlework. 
I just switch it! 


I found this wonderful frame HERE at the Graphics Fairy.
I did some work on my computer and  printed it off the image
 on some scrapbooking paper.
I had purchased these ceramic tiles
 and with a little bit of Mod Podge I had my gift.


Made a cute matching gift bag...


Since it was all about "KNITTING"
I thought I would use some fun yarn to embellish the bag.


This PINK Frame was also from the Graphics Fairy!


Like the PINK leopard ribbon bow?



I finished it off by cutting some squares of cork
and gluing them to the back of the coasters.


Wrapped them with more pretty yarn
and added a girly flower petal and
GOTTA  HAVE BLING
rhinestone!
