Hello all,
I usually post clothing-related items on this blog, but I am in the midst of a very busy Monday and I thought I'd just show you some other crafty things I've been doing.
I'm preparing to host a tea party at Church this Saturday, and I am working on some of the non-food items currently...like décor and party favors!
My mother and I went to Joanns and picked out some pastel broadcloth for table runners. I am working on sewing those up.
My mother got these cute gift bag kits from Stampin' Up! recently...they're perfect to hold party favors!
I have yet to string ribbon through the holes in the top, but that is the plan.
We decorated clothespins using stickers from Dollar Tree,
and adhered strong magnets to the backs of the clothespins. Perfect fridge magnet clips!
The gift bags will be filled with two chocolates, a clothespin, and some notecards.

I found some finger-kitting yarn on clearance at Joanns. I had to snatch it up...it's in one of my favorite colors!!
My oh-so-soft scarf.
Our neighbor taught us how to make hexagons with fabric (English paper piecing). I'd like to make a quilt with these!
They are made by gathering a fabric hexagon around a smaller paper hexagon. The stiff, glossy paper from junk mail advertisements works well for this. Then you hand-sew over your gathers to secure them. You take the papers out once you're ready to use your hexagons in a project. Starching them first before you take the papers out is a good idea.

Aren't those colors beautiful!?
to God be the glory,
Miss Humphrey
