What I did on my Christmas vacation

[pugmom]

I've been having some crafty fun the last few days. So here's what I've accomplished:

First, I found a pair of ladies long leather gloves at the thrift store. I have small hands and they were even too small for me, sooooooo I altered one. This was really easy - I just put some bling on the glove and hung it on a vintage drawer pull that I also added bling to.

Next, I've had an inspiration piece in my files for quite a while -I guess you could call this a kind of paper quilt. I don't know who did the original so I can't give credit where credit is due, but here's my version. It's on a 8 x 10 canvas.

And today I made my 2013 calendar using a printers tray.

Very cool, Sue! You have been having fun!

I absolutely love them!

Oh Sue, I love all three. I have a printers tray and couldn't decide what to do with it. What a great idea! Where did you get the correct size calendar pages which I assume are replaceable each month.

Love all of it!! I need to do that with my printers tray!

Carol, I couldn't find a good calendar online, so I took one that the electric company sent and scanned it into photoshop. I resized, printed and cut. I stacked all twelve months and glued along the top edge, so I just rip off the top one when the month is over.

Thank you all for the lovely comments.

Oh, I love your version of the Cathedral Window paper quilt. Wow, that is wonderful! One of those wish I had thought of that!

Oh cool idea. We get little calendars in the mail. Don't think I have one yet but will be on the lookout.

Your projects are wonderful!

Those are all amazing. The glove is very elegant.

Great job on those Sue! My favorite is the calendar! Both the other 2 are a tie for second!

[troublesmom]

Love them all Sue! You have really been busy.

Oh my gosh - these are all quite fantastic! Great job.

I totally don't comprehend printers trays. I like the look of the ones I see finished, and I even have one that came from Swirlydoos, with a whole bunch of stuff. But I can't make any more sense of it than I can the random piles of things in my kids' bedrooms. My brain wants to take all of the disjointed unrelated random things and sort them and put them away. So I don't see a printers tray anywhere in my future. I should just RAK mine.

That canvas! Love it! I can so do that. I want one for my craft room. And what a great way to use pieces from the scrap box. Are they just punched circles that are scored and folded?

They are all wonderful! I agree w Marianne, but no way I could replicate that!
