I have a lot in store for you today, so be sure and read through the whole party post!! wow!!! There are special tidbits all the way through, but there's a special something something at the end!! 🙂

To begin, how about some fun projects I've created using this FABULOUS fabric line?

Using my big shot and a 3-D flower die, I started with this…

PA173182

and it became this:

PA183185

PA183189

PA183190

After seeing these and playing with them, a certain 17-yo told me that she was never buying hair things again…that I would be in charge of making them for her from now on!! Fun!!!!

Here's a fun, random project that I whipped up in no time!! (no making fun of my quilting exercises!! even good cellists still play their scales!!)

I love to practice my free motion quilting…

I love this reference to the scripture about how God cares for us even more than he does for the birds of the air and the lilies in the field {matt 6:25-42}!!

still working on my "echo" quilting…it'll get better and better the more I practice…you know what they say, "Practice makes perfect!!"

PA183216

Fun raw edged ruffle pillow!! I am loving this stocking die from Stampin' Up! Perfect for fabric!! And I created a little Christmas tree ornament out of my scraps! We are not wasteful here in Sally's Angelworks…no sireebob!! LOVE!!!

And how about something for that hard to buy for person?

It's a little mini quilt with the stocking open on top perfect for slipping in candy or a gift card or two or three!! You can wrap it in a sweet little box and surprise them!! Perfect for a quilter, too!! Who wouldn't want  a little mini quilt filled with goodies???? (You can fill it with little pieces of coal if you need to…just sayin'!!)

You know that last week, I spent a good amount of time with my darling friend, Julie over at the Intrepid Thread! And while we were talking through things (our blogs, religion, sci-fi…you know, all the important things girls talk about!!), we came up with the idea of doing a VLOG. A video tutorial just for YOU!!! And we did it!! When I got home, I put it all together and uploaded it last night on YouTube just for you to watch!! And so when you win one of these little kits, you can actually make it immediately after watching Julie's phenomenal instructions (and my giggling!!)!! yay!!

Here it is just for you!

I'm soooo excited you joined me for my fun Delighted party today!! I hope you had as much fun as I did!! and for parting words, I thought today's verse of the day on Bible Gateway was super appropriate and providential:

PA183209
{Take delight in the Lord, and he will give you your heart's desires!}

do you think that applies to cupcakes? I definitely do!! 

blessings to you today!!!
