A Child's Jeans Apron
Last year a friend shared a project she had undertaken for some of her great nieces and nephews and I thought they were so cute. All year, I thought about trying to make some myself and have finished my first attempt. Here's the first one and I wanted to share it on Our Second Hand House's "March Craft Challenge Link Up - Jeans/Clothing" blog crawl.

Purple Lattice Quilt
I've been staying in where it's warm and cozy lately. One of the things keeping me busy is piecing a new quilt. I started with a plan (from Missouri Star Quilt Company) and some fabric.

Our son and his friends enjoy skeet shooting. Last Christmas, I saw a shotgun shell wreath at a local craft fair and thought Favorite Son would like having this at his apartment for the holidays

All year, I've wanted to make an Advent Calendar for each family of our young relatives. Our own kids enjoyed the Hallmark calendar we've had for years and knew these children would too. It would also be a fun keepsake for these little ones from our family.

Shutter Screen Project
I've seen several posts that have used shutters as decorative screens. We have an old house on our farm that belonged to Wonderful Hubby's grandparents. He is in the process of tearing it down and I noticed it still had a few reclaimable shutters.
