I have been crafting most of my life. I enjoy crocheting, floral design, paper crafts, jewelry making, painting, designing, sewing, plastic canvas, gift baskets, candy arrangements and embroidery. I also like to dabble in cake decorating from time to time. I hope that you will enjoy your visit with Mrs D's Craft Cottage I know I enjoy sharing my passions with you.

Snow Annie's Ornie
Snow Annie Ornies great for pegs, gift toppers, tree ornaments or bowl fillers. After the week I have had, microwave catching on fire and then today our washing machine leaking, working on cute ornies help to but a smile on my face. What I wouldn't go do have my own studio and just consume myself with crafts all day. Going to start working on one of my own designs with pumpkins, gingerbread and candy corn. I hope it comes out nice :)

Special Project for July
I'm working on something special for July. I'm hoping I can pull it off we'll see :)
Finally opened my new sewing machine my Dad and Dot bought for me. I made Dot a tablecloth. I never made one before. It seemed so easy but yet so hard I have a fear for working with large material items. All I had to do was sew around the edges. LOL
I think it has to do with something being so big that I can't see the whole thing at once. It reminded me how I have to have faith in the bigger picture of life. Just because I can't see it all at once God has a plan :)

Baby Shower
Today I went to a baby shower for Pregnancy Resources and learned of a great resource for ladies who become pregnant and don't have to face it alone. Pregnancy Resources is a place for hope, healing and peace. I donated some burp cloths that I made and have decided to continue to donate them throughout the year.

Made a skirt for Marie but she won't wear it she says it has too many butterflies. Well that's until she was told that Daddie picked out the material :) I think I need to buy some other material to make more. It was fun for my beginner sewing experience.
