I promise that I have not fallen completely off the edge of the earth. I am actually crafting but am juggling taking care of some family things as well. I’m apologizing in advance that it’s difficult to stay on top of the emailed questions. If you are waiting on an answer from me, I hope you’ll understand. In the meantime, I hope that you are all in the holiday spirit and have found some special time to spend with family. If this month is like the others it will zoom by in the wink of an eye ;-) Be back soon!

Speaking of Pincushions . . . I realized that I had not shared this one with you. I made it during my tenure on the Dirty Dozen and can share it on my blog now. Just in case you didn’t know . . . I love to knit and do quite a bit of felting. Once you are hit by the felting bug there’s little hope. What happened for me is that I was doing small felting projects like purses then started looking for way to bring that wonderful texture over onto my cards. Fast forward to the present time, about once a month I hit the Goodwill store and pick up sweaters that are 100% wool. When I get them home, I put them in the washer and dryer (separately, and in a pillowcase) and felt them right up. Oh my word, that felting cuts like butter under steel rule dies. I pull out some of my old Sizzix Steel Rule Dies and go to town. So my pincushion is made from old sweaters! When I saw this cute cupcake made by Betz White, I knew I had to make one. It was just the icing on the cupcake to cut flowers from the same felted fabric and make a matching card.
Stay warm friends! By the way, guess who’ll be celebrating 27 years of wedded bliss on December 4th? Me!! My sweetie pie is under the weather, but it won’t keep me from giving him a great big juicy smacker!  SHAREthis TWEETTHIS EMAILthis
Hi there!! Today marks another fabulous JustRite Stampers Blog Hop. Today we are sharing gift ideas using JustRite. I have an altered item to share with you today and something that will hopefully come in handy for the crafter. Using JustRite Tiny Words Borders and Centers I created a set of pincushions using canning jars and with JustRite Preserves Borders and Centers I put together a tote to cover and carry them. Here are the pincushions themselves, they contain buttons and perle cotton plus pins. They were made using little canning jars I purchased at the Container Store.
Here are the pincushions in their tote around caddy. When finished the lid can just be put over them and back on the shelf they go.
Are you surprised to see a recipe box? The recipe box makes the caddy. This one was purchased for $1.00 at Michaels. I turned it over, covered it with paper then added the handle :-)
Be sure to see what the other designers have up their sleeves. You will not want to miss these locations on the hop! JustRite Blog

Good evening, Becca. I can only reiterate what has already been voiced by the others. When you have served your family and are ready for your fans we will still be here, but God and family come first
No worries. Take care of your business and we will be waiting for you when you are able to return. Hugs from Michigan
We’ll all be here when you can come back to us. In the meantime I hope that everything turns out well for you and yours. Family is the most important thing, if you take care of that everything else works out.
Hugs,

Thanks for thinking of us and letting us know what’s happening with you. Please no apologies needed.
May you and your family have a blessed holiday season and we’ll be waiting like kids at Christmas wanting to see what’s under the tree.
Take care of you and your family.
Becca we all know how hectic this time of year can be and of course your family comes FIRST. I will just wait patiently on your return. Your spark means so much to me that I can’t begin to express my gratitude.
Becca, we all enjoy your projects very much, but you are special to us too. Our thoughts & prayers are with you.
