Hoop Wall Art Tutorial

2012-02-12T14:42:00.000-08:00

What you need to make Hoop Wall Art:

Various sizes of embroidery hoops
Fabric of your choice
Craft glue
Scissors
Wall for your Hoop Art

I purchased all my supplies at Hobby Lobby.

Here is my Hoop Art! I rent, so this was a perfect way to add colors to the wall without upsetting the landlords.

Supplies

Cut your fabric slightly larger than your hoop. Then lay the fabric over the center hoop.

Place outer hoop over the fabric and center hoop. Make sure fabric is tight.

Flip over and place glue on the center hoop.

Once covered with glue fold fabric down and press.

Let it dry.

Finally you trim up your edges with scissors and you are finished!

Mug Rugs for my other Grandparents!

Zig Zag Mug Rug

This one was for Grandma. I used this tutorial to make hers @ Sew Happy Geek.

Cross Mug Rug

I made Grandpa's Mug Rug just playing around. I'd seen some cross quilts and thought this would be something he'd like. I didn't want it to be too girly looking but still wanted it to match Grandma's. The only thing I'd do differently was make it bigger. His turned out quite a bit smaller than hers.

A Life of Fear

2012-02-02T10:47:00.000-08:00

1 Peter 1:17-19 If you address as Father the One who impartially judges according to each one's work, conduct yourselves in fear during the time of you stay on earth: knowing that you were not redeemed with perishable things like silver or gold from your forefathers, but with precious blood, as of a lamb unblemished and spotless, the blood of Christ.

Observation: God is a judge. I looked up to see the meaning of impartially, it means fair judgement. God is a fair and just Judge and a responsible Father who "won't let us get by with sloppy living." (1 Peter 1:17 MSG)

Conduct yourselves in fear...What is this fear? It's a healthy respect of a believer for the all-powerful God. It's an awareness that one is always in the presence of God. It's a life of one who is in awe and worship of God.

God paid for our freedom from sin, not with money, but with the precious blood of His own Son Jesus Christ. Only through Jesus can we be freed from the bondage of sin. That right there should bring us to utter awe of our Heavenly Father.

Application: We have been redeemed by the precious blood of Christ. I don't know about you but I want to make the changes I need to live like it. Let's turn our backs on our former lives. I know that I cannot escape sin on my own, so I must rely totally on Jesus, only He can free me. I cannot ignore God or treat Him casually. I must show respect to my Heavenly Father. For He is a good Father who Judges fairly.

Prayer:
Dear Heavenly Father,
I praise you and worship you for being a good Father who judges fairly. I thank you for the price you paid, the precious blood of your own Son Jesus, to free me from the bondage of sin. I know that I cannot escape sin on my own so I ask that you would help me have victory over sin. In Jesus' Name, Amen!

Mug Rug #1 Front
My hubby designed the coffee mug for me so I could applique it onto the Mug Rug. I'm not very good at drawing so anytime you see applique, chances are the other family members contributed to that project.

Holiness

2012-01-22T19:16:00.000-08:00

1 Peter 1:14-16 As obedient children, do not be conformed to the former lusts which were yours in your ignorance, but like the Holy One who called you, be holy yourselves also in all your behavior; because it its written, "You shall be holy for I am holy."

Holiness is the desire and duty of every Christian. When we follow Jesus we repent of sin and through Christ we no longer have to live in the former lusts of the flesh. As we grow in Christ, our lives begin to imitate Him, the Holy One. We should strive to be holy in all our behavior.

God's qualities in our lives makes us different and sets us apart, our focus and priorities must be His. On our own we cannot become holy, but God gives us His Holy Spirit to help us obey and overcome sin. We can call on God's power to free us from sin's grip.

"Blessed are the pure in heart: for they shall see God." Matthew 5:8

This is my daughter's work-in-progress 9-Patch Wall Quilt. Since this picture was taken we've added heart appliques to the solid pieces. I can't wait until it is all finished.

Sewing Machine Cover

2011-10-31T12:44:00.000-07:00

I was in serious need of a sewing machine cover but didn't want to go buy a boring white thingy so I searched for a pattern to make one and here is what I found: Sewing Machine Cover

Her tutorial was super easy, especially for a newbie like me. My daughter helped with the sewing. She did an awesome job! I didn't have enough of a solid material for the back so I just used my leftover strips, either way works!

Husker Mug Rugs

2011-10-13T09:21:00.000-07:00

I met this wonderful woman who offered to teach my daughter and I to quilt. So I took some time off blogging and making jewelry and got busy quilting. I had tried sewing once before and that was years ago to make a shirt for my sweet Grandpa Jim. I did that with the help of my mom. Well it just was to hard so I never tried again until recently. Now I'm absolutely in love with sewing and quilting. Projects so far: one twin sized Log Cabin Quilt, many Mug Rugs, and my daughter made her very own Wall Quilt. Photos coming soon!

Mug Rugs? They are mini quilts. You can use Mug Rugs as a coaster or a little place mat. The ones pictured here are my most recent. I had made a few before using cheater binding but was not to happy with them so I decided for these I'd use double fold binding. And I was much happier with these.

I bought all this Husker material before I knew I was moving to Oklahoma. So as soon as we are more settled into the new place I will be making some more to sell at my Etsy Shop. The two pictured here are SOLD already.

Materials:
(1) Backing Piece
(1) Front----Patchwork Scrap
(1) Strips for Binding
(1) Batting Piece
Coordinating thread

Size: There's no wrong size. You can make it however small or large you want.

2010-11-16T18:15:00.000-08:00

I made this bracelet using a design by Rae Arlene Reller. It was so much fun making this the second time around.

The colors used were black, garnet, pearl cream, and translucent gold seed beads. And a button clasp to finish it off. This bracelet is 7 1/2" long and the width is 3/4". $22.00

Twisted Herringbone Necklace with Glass Heart Pendant-SOLD

2010-11-09T18:19:00.000-08:00

Black Twisted Tubular Herringbone Necklace with a Black and Turquoise Glass Heart Pendant

17" long

It's been a long time since I put any jewelry on here and there is a very good reason........I've been beading!!! This necklace took me forever to make, it's my first ever beaded necklace using the twisted tubular herringbone stitch. At first I thought this was the hardest thing I've ever made and wondered what on earth did I get myself into but once I got the hang of it I found it to be almost as relaxing as making chainmail. I'm hooked on beading and am currently working on 3 different bracelets. Check back in over the next few weeks. I will also have some Husker bracelets for you lady fans out there.

You can place all sorts of stuff in the center of the ribbon flower: buttons, crystals, more flowers, miniature lace, etc... The possibilities are endless just as long as you are willing to keep creating.

Luckily my mom had plenty of scrap to spare and below you can see the fabric rose headband I made. She looked adorable from head to toe.

I ♥ TEXAS!!!

2010-07-17T11:57:00.000-07:00

My family and my brother's family went on vacation to San Antonio, TX. It was my first time to visit Texas. We drove through all the big cities. It's absolutely gorgeous out there. So we visited Sea World, The Alamo, The Tower of the Americas, The Riverwalk, and The Japanese Tea Gardens. We didn't even get to do everything because there is just so much to do in San Antonio. We had such a blast at Sea World that we spent 3 days there. It's absolutely wonderful and amazing there in San Antonio. If you've never been well you just have to go and experience it all for yourself.

Helm/Parallel Chainmaille Bracelet-Custom Work

2010-03-01T16:44:00.000-08:00

These Sterling Silver Bracelets were made using the helm (also known as parallel) chainmaille weave. For womens bracelets I use smaller jump rings in 18 gauge sterling silver wire to make it more feminine. This can also be made into necklaces and earrings. The mens bracelets I use 16 gauge sterling silver wire to make larger rings and a figure 8 clasp. These were custom ordered as a his and her gift set. I unfortunately did not get pictures of them side by side to see the difference in sizes.

With my google search I found Kelleigh Ratzlaff Designs and she had this awesome template and tutorial for exactly what I wanted and needed. Here is my finished project.

Japanese Chainmail Necklace with Jet Black Swarovski Crystals

2009-12-16T11:39:00.000-08:00

This necklace ended up being one of my all time favorite projects. The weave is a Japanese 12-in-2 weave. The hardest part of the whole piece was wire wrapping the Swarovski crystal briolettes. Wow, that was a challenge for someone who has never done it before. But after breaking a few crystals and wasting some wire I got the hang of it and was very happy with how they all turned out.

4-H Gift

2009-12-10T19:37:00.000-08:00

My daughter had a 4-H Christmas Party and they were asked to bring a $5.00 gift. After thinking about all the possibilities out there we decided to do a Scrabble Tile Pendant as the gift. This one is a little different and cheaper than the other two I've posted here on my blog. I used a Shiny Silver Plated Ball Chain instead of the beads and Swarovski Crystals. Which cuts my cost and yours so if you would like just the ball chain and Scrabble Tile Pendant I charge $5.00. The ones with beads are not interchangeable with other Scrabble Tile Pendants. With ball chain you can buy many pendants and change them out as you like. Keep checking back for different pendants.

S.S. Double Cross Necklace with Amethyst Swarovski Crystals

2009-12-07T16:09:00.000-08:00

I just finished this necklace today. I had intended for these jump rings to be made into a bracelet but they ended up the wrong size. I tried everything I could think of hoping they were not a total waste. Then when I was going through all my old stuff and saw the earrings that match this necklace I thought I'd give it a try and it worked out which led to the birth of this necklace. This necklace is for sale at my Etsy Shop. Double Cross Necklace.
