Just Puttering

Well hello there.

I really am here. . .I have done a few things to post.

I really did decorate for Valentine Day.

Not very much. . .But I did set a few thing out.

I know it is gone and past, but I will still show you 

I even made treats for my children and Grands.

Home Made Bread!

And

Cinnamon Rolls.

They loved it. . !

You see I haven't posted much because I have some

Health issues going on.

And I just don't feel up to doing a lot.

My decorating just stays the same.

I did feel good enough to "update"

My Aunt Carol Hutch.

Oh, how I love this hutch.

Every time I look at it. .it reminds me of my 

Aunt Carol.

 

 And my blogging friend Sheila at

Note Songs

Has the sister  to this hutch. . 

Well, we are sure they are related in some way.

So there you have the few things I have been

Puttering with lately.

Oh, I have some easy projects I am doing right now.

I have a crochet doily I am working on.

I keep saying I won't stay away from my blog for very long.

But, then reality sets in and I to slow down a bit.

So visit often, you never know when there will be a new post.

Cup Cake Pillow Cases!

Well, Hello! Hello!

My goodness where did January go?

It is FEBRUARY!

And I love February. . .

I know I have been away from my blog for several weeks.

Life some times gets in the way.

And to tell you the truth, I haven't felt well,

Therefore I had nothing of interest to show you.

Today I am going to share with you my 

Cup Cake Pillowcases!

Well I think everyone should have Cup Cakes Pillowcases.

It makes me happy!

(Not good lighting in my bedroom, so pictures are not the best)

I like to make my own pillowcases. By making my own

I get the variety of cute printed pillowcases on my pillows.

I found an easy way to make the "cuff" of the pillowcase

Without the seams showing!

I am sure many of you sewers know how to do this.

It is call the "burrito" way of making a pillowcase.

Someone told me about it, and tried to explain it,

But I just couldn't figure it out.

So. . .of course I Google-d it, and a blog came up.

She had easy instructions to follow and. . . WaLa! 

I have these adorable  "seam not showing" pillowcases.

At Christmas time I made 12 of them to give to my

Grand Children,  They loved them,  

Even the 20-somethings, loved them.

I have been sewing away on pillowcases.  

Now I am making Valentine ones.

I hope I can get on my regular blogging schedule.

Oh, wait. . I don't have a regular schedule.

I just blog when I have something to show you.

Well, I hope I won't be away for a long period of time like 

I have this last month. . . .Like I said.

Life just gets in the way of "things".

I hope all is well. . the winter months can be brutal.

Here in Utah, it has been dry. . hardly any snow in the valleys.

That isn't good for us.  We need snow storms.

So please say a little prayer that the good Lord

Will send moisture to the western part of the country.

Hope to see you soon.

Here is the blog I went to for directions to make the

"Burrito" style pillowcase.
