Silicone bulbs…

I finally decided to try my hand at makin’ my own silicone bulbs yesterday. My first batch are jus’ plain clear silicone. I’m gonna make the colored, grubby ones next time.

Here’s the tut I used from Char…click HERE if you’d like to try it too. Thanks so much Char!!!

Here’s how I had them hanging to dry…it does take awhile for them to dry all the way.

Here’s a close up of one of the bulbs.

I think they turned out pretty good for my first time. I can’t wait to make the Grubby lookin’ ones like Char made.

Messin’ with candles…

Here’s jus’ a few candles I’ve been I’ve been makin’. I jus’ wanted to see if I could make some smaller “Nubbie” candles.

I started out with these long red tapered candles. I cut them apart to give me a few different sizes….being careful to not cut the wick. I then dipped them a few times in my wax…and rolled them in some cinnamon. Thanks to the help of my Dear Prim friend Donna.

I needed to replace the candles in my candle holder my sis got for me awhile back. I’m not real thrilled with the red candles that came with it.

Here’s the before…

And here’s the after…

I like the smaller “Nubbie” candles much better.

I need to hit GW to get more candles and keep tryin’ to perfect them...I’m still lookin’ to try to make them even smaller…like the actually “Nubbie'” candles you can buy. Over all, for my first time…I was pretty happy with the way they turned out.

My home made things...

Hello everyone!!
First off...I want to Thank everyone for their wonderful comments about the return of my Izzie girl!! She's been home for 2 1/2 weeks now....she's doing awesome....she is back into her normal routine. I was afraid that her personality would change since she was gone for 7 weeks...Thankfully it hasn't. I am Thankful to the Dear Lord every day that he gave her back to us.

Ok....on with my post...

So sorry for the lack of posting...hopefully the pics I post today will make up for it.

These are a few pics of things I made for myself and for my sis. Our golden rule is...if you make one for yourself....you have to make another for the sis...LOL

Remember....you can click on each pic to get a larger view.

This is my Prairie Dress Towel...the pic doesn't really show how grubby it is. My sis Kim helped me make this. She is a much better sewer than I am.
I keep moving it...I've not found the right place for it yet. Right now it's hanging on a 4 shelf stand my hubby made for me a few years ago out of old barn wood. I'm not liking it there.

These are my versions of game boards.
I really had a lot of fun making these. They were so easy to make.



This is my Old Glory bag...I saw a pic of this somewhere...loved how different it was. So I decided to make it. This too was so, so easy to make.



These are my version of Grubby pillows.
I only made one set....so, per the golden rule...I had to give it to my sis. I really need to make some for myself...LOL



Another project that I only made one....again, gave it to my sis.
Out of all the things I made...this was the hardest. That star was hard to sew and stuff....too small....I fussed and fussed with this thing...LOL But in the end it was worth it.



That's it for now....I do have other things I've been workin' on....re-do's, new projects, changing things around in my house....etc. I'll be posting more pic today...Be sure to check back!!
Also, if you have any questions on anything I make....Please feel free to ask 'em.

Have a Wonderful Prim Day!!!
