What's Black and White and Red All Over

This week, it's my turn to be the hostess and since it's Halloween, I decided that I'd do a Halloween/Fantasy theme to close out the month and with my love of all of Mo's fairies how could I resist using one of her fairies to represent the fantasy end of the spectrum.  This is one fairy that I don't know why   took me so long to add to my collection.  I had Fairy 2 and Fairy 3 for quite some time but what took me so long to just add Fairy 1 to my collection anyway you can find her   HERE.

P is for Please

This week our wonderful team mate Kim decided that we should use the color yellow for Mo's birthday since yellow is her favorite color.  So once again I decided to make something a little different.  I found theses chip board letters at Michael's so I decided to use this letter "P" and make this.

I used it this adorable image called Please which you can find HERE  I fell in love with her, just look at her face I can hear her  saying Pleeease....

This is the Honey Cowl that I knit for Pat as a special thank for treating me so special when she was in New York. She spoiled me rotten and I loved every minute we spent together. I truly treasure her friendship and am truly  blessed to have her in my life.  It is one of two scarves that I knit for her as my way of saying thank you.  This is the first one which she knew about since she  picked it, the other is a surprise and will be posted at a later date.  Both are done, but I just can't post it yet since she hasn't received it yet.   So Pleeeeease forgive me for this Thank You taking me just a little bit longer than anticipated.

My husbands aide Althea loved the gift box I made earlier. So when she  asked me to make her one for a baby shower she is going to at the end of the month I new I had to use Baby Fairy Sipping which is a set of 3 adorable baby faries  and you can find this cutie patootie right .
HERE along with the other two cutie patooties.

Of Course I surprised her and  made her a matching card to go along with the little gift box.  So I made a gate fold card and placed  matching band around it, just to make it a little different.

Children's Challenge and Anything Goes

Wow, it's now June and it's our special children's challenge at Mo's.  I am so excited to see what the children have created.  I love walking around the halls at school to see what the many children in my school have created.  Since the ages range from 5 to 13 the art work varies.  I have tons of artwork on my file cabinet from a few kindergarten students that have touched my heart.  The smile on their face when they bring it to me and hang it up is priceless and it reminds me of the days when I hung  refrigerator art my kids came home with when they were that age.  I still have a few of those tucked away.

So if you have a child in your life that loves to craft, why not have them get involved and have them color an image and design a card using a Mo's image and enter in this weeks challenge to win a special prize from Mo.    Just remember to use a Mo's image and your good to go.

I have a baby shower to go to at the end of the month for my niece Jenn who is expecting her first baby at the end of August.  We know it is a girl and the entire theme is "Bees".  She has a thing for bees.  So that is why as soon as Mo  came out with this adorable little Bee Fairy it was a must have for me,  So of course I made her card using her and you can find her
HERE

The same thing happend when I saw the pattern for this Buzzy Bee Blanket.  As soon as I saw it I ordered the entire kit  and tucked it away.  It was ordered before they were even married knowing she loved bees  When  I found out she was pregnant I began to knit away.  This is a picture of the finished blanket.   Of course she will get a hat and booties, better get buzzy since the shower is on June 29th and I haven't started on those yet, but I am quite proud of the blanket and confindent that I will finsih those in time as well.

Treat Box

This week it's anything but square, a hard one for me. Although I like to think outside the box, when it comes to cards, well, lets just say, I've always stuck to square ones. So thanks Kathleen for making me think "Outside the Box".  I still love you...lol  I thought this pillow box would  be perfect since it can be used for such a variety of things like birthday treat boxes, little thank you's .  All you do is decorate then fill them up with your favorite confection and you're good to go!!!

At first I was going to make a tag, figured that was an easy way out of  not making something square.  So I went through my Cricut cartridges looking for my Tags, Bags, Boxes and More cartridge and my hand hit this Easter Cartridge and a light bulb went off since it has a pillow box on it. Only this one has a little bunny cut out on it.  So I covered up with the band (don't tell anyone).  These Pillow Boxes are great since they can be used for anything.   I used this new image from Mo's called Dragon Hugs which I fell in love with the second I saw it you can find HERE  So here goes my Anything But Square

#158 Cute & Cuddly

Well, it's time for Mo's which means it's Thursday and this weeks theme is Cute and Cuddly.   I used this cute little Fairy called Kiki to make a card for a baby shower.  My Sister-in-Law asked me to make  a baby blanket for a shower that she is going to for a co-workers daugher.  They know it is a girl so I was asked to do the blanket in purple. I guess that they are doing the room in those colors.    Once  I saw this lilac, I knew I had to make this blanket and use this  Fairy called Baby Fairy Kiki which you can find HERE.  I fell in love with her.  I just want to pinch that little behind.  She is just so precious and to me so cute.

So here is a picture of the card

The pattern for the blanket is called Alex's Baby Blanket and can be found on Raverly

I also made matching booties and but after the picture was taken

C is for Candy Corn

Please scroll down to see my Mo's Digital Pencil Post.  

This is my little peanut he is 4 months old, and with the cold weather approaching, I decided to make him this adorable Candy Corn hat...  So far I've made 4 of these, two small, one medium, and one large.  These were so quick and easy to make.   I used Cascade Alpaca 220 yarn, in Orange, Yellow and White and this is the end result.

These are two out of the four.  I made two for my little nephews whom I call my peanuts cause they were so small when they were born, and two for my Assistant Principals who each have a grandson.  One born at the same time as my little peanut but he was almost 10 pounds so I call  him my meatball.  They were a HUGE hit with everyone!!!!

Can't wait to make the Santa hats which are next on the list...lol

Thanks for stopping by...Debbie

Anything Goes at Mo's # 151 and Something for Moi

It's the first Thursday of the Month so you know what that means, it's Anything Goes at Mo's. So once again, the skies the limit so use you imagination and let your creative juices flow and lets see what you come up with.  Just remember you must use one of Mo's images and you're good to go.

As for me, I had to have this Fall Fairy the second I saw it and once again decided to merge it with the pumpkins.  I love the fall maybe because I love the colors or maybe because I'm a fall baby, or maybe because it's that crispness in the air, but whatever it is, this is what I came up with.

I haven't made a criss cross card in ages and wanted to make something different, so I decided to make one of those. I used my cricut to cut the circle at 4 1/2 " using the George cartridge since I don't have any large nesties and merged Fall Fairy Jensen which you can find HERE and Pumpkins which you can find HERE

I found this poem on-line and thought it was perfect for the criss-cross card:

I also made a shawl for myself. Hey with the fall coming up, it will come to good  and since  I've been knitting for everyone else, I decided knit this shawl for moi and I have a few more lined up, but another baby blanket for a shower for my sister in law in between that and a sweater I am making for myself which should be finished shortly.  Again this is a free pattern on Raverly and is called Acadian and is knit from tip to tip.

A close up of the pattern on the edge of the shawl

Pattern: Acadian

Welcome Baby Joseph

Well,  it's the first  Thursday of the month and you know what that means, it's "Anything Goes at Mo's"  So the skies the limit as far as your creativity goes.  Just remember to use one of Mo's adorable images and you're good to go... This time however, I couldn't decide which one to use, so I decided to use two different ones.  One for the tag, and one for the card.  For the tag I used Baby and Bunny which you can find in both the new store and the old store HERE and HERE and for my pyramid card I used this adorable little set of sailor boys which comes in a set HERE.        

As you all know, I've been kniting away and making tons of baby blankets, but this one is special since this one is for my niece who just had her second baby.  A baby boy who came to us a little earlier than expected so welcome Joseph Nicholas.

Buttercup Fairy

Well, it's the first Thursday of the momth which means it's "Anything Goes at Mo's".. So with that in mind and all the baby blanket's I'm making I needed another baby card and tag since my sister in law asked me to make a yellow baby blanket along with a card to go with it for her dear friends daughter who is expecting. So this is what I came up with. Nothing fancy as far as the blanket goes since the mom to be isn't into anything frilly. Plus she don't know if it's a boy or a girl So with that in mind, I decided to use the basket weave stitch along with a seed stitch border which to me is perfect for both a boy or a girl. I used this adorable baby fairy which comes in a set of 3. This one is the Buttercup Fairy I made this card and matching tag to go along with the blanket she will be giving at the shower later on this month You can find the set of fairies HERE
