Other onesies I have made include: 
 Some for those that do not live in Michigan..

And for a Speech Language Pathologist..

Hi everyone!! Hope all is well; been kind of busy around here. 
Still working 50 hrs a week.. How do you like my new blog design?! 
My daughter and her boyfriend redesigned it for me. I love it!! So, I have just been doing a little of this and that.. 
Still really into quilting and making T-shirts (I just love making these) 
and since I have 2 grand-babies coming this year I'm on a onesie kick. 
I just made these two for my daughter-in-law. I like how these turned out.

My husband picked this pattern, for this big quilt and most the fabrics were picked out by him. It's all finished now and on our bed, but I don't have an updated picture. Well, that's all for now.. Thank you for stopping by Hugs, Norma Jean

Hi everyone,
I haven't blogged in such a long time! 
Haven't been making any paper crafts lately, 
I've been quilting and I just love it!  Here are a few things I've made: This is my very first quilt. I followed the tutorial from Missouri Star Quilt Company on YouTube, you can find everything there.
I made these two smaller quilts from quilt kits I purchased at local quilt shops. This is one of my favorites so far, it's a Thimbleblossom pattern. This quilt is from "The Month 5 Fat Quarter Fun". 
You can find the link for the pattern at JediCraftGirl 
on my side bar, they are really fun to make.
I have a few more in the works and more I want to make.. 
I just love quilting! Thanks for stopping by Hugs, Norma Jean

Hi everyone!! It's been awhile since I've blogged anything. Just been working and trying to get a few crafty things  done.  I bought a Serger and I love it!! I've been making pillow cases and  other things with it. Thank you for stopping by Hugs, Norma Jean

Hi everyone!!
Today I made an ATC for the Stampotique  Challenge Blog. I love their stamps! This weeks challenge is "Spots and Stripes". I used some stripe paper and a stencil for the dots. I love this little guy, he has so many uses for a stamp.
Thank you for stopping by, hope you have a good rest of the week!
Hugs, Norma Jean

Hi everyone!! It's been so long since I've done anything with my blog. I've been making some ATC's, it's about  the only thing I make anymore. I just love them, it challenges me to create in a small space. Oh! I have been sewing too, mostly baby blankets and burp cloths... and pillow cases. Just wish I didn't have to work sometimes; I think I would craft all day! Here are the ATC's I've made so far:



Thank you for stopping  by for now and  Happy Valentine's Day! Hugs, Norma Jean

Hi everyone, I hope you are all doing well. 
Well, got myself into a mess again. I ordered some stamps, then ordered more and more.. Yikes.. But, I love these stamps! I have decided after my orders come in, I'm not buying anymore stamps until I get rid of the stamps I don't use... LOL
Well anyway, found a new Facebook group and wow! a lot of very talented people there. Then, I found the challenge blog, Stampotique. 
This one is special too, it's their 200th challenge. Since I got new stamps, I decided to make a post card type card for it. I was Inspired by Rachel Black.. she's an amazing artist.. you can find her on YouTube. So, here it is: Thank you for stopping by Hugs, Norma Jean

Hi everyone,
It's been awhile since I posted.. Now I'm into pocket letters. Luckily, I don't have to go out and buy stuff to make them. I have everything I need... LOL They are like ATC's put into trading card pockets. Boy, like any project, some very talented people out there.  Today I received this one from my friend Cassandra.  I love it so much.. It is much more beautiful in person. Front of it; isn't it just beautiful?
Back of it full of wonderful goodies I'm so happy!

Hi everyone, 
I'm back this time with my try with the "12 Tags of 2015" with Tim Holtz. I used a lot of what I had on hand and found free printables on Pinterest. I made my arrow with paper using my Silhouette cameo and added inks to make it look vintage.. Well, at least I hope it does.. lol Thanks for stopping by Hugs, Norma Jean

Hi everyone, 
I hope you are all doing well. I've been making some treat boxes that are so cute. I got this idea from Brigit, all the info is on her blog. She is one of the most creative people I know! She is such an inspiration to me. These are from my favorite SVG company, Mary and Leo. They have the best SVG designs out there in the craft world. Here is the link SVGCUTS, this file is free.

Hi everyone, 
I'm back with another Inspiration Wednesday, an online workshop with Donna Downey. This week I wasn't feeling it at first, but after I started I had fun making these pages. Thank you for stopping by Hugs, Norma Jean

Hi everyone, I hope everyone is doing well. I am not feeling so well, so I took the day off work. I'm making some box cards from SVGCuts. Nobody can design box cards like Mary can, she truly adds so much  detail to them and makes them easy to make. 
The mailbox one is my favorite! Thanks for stopping by Hugs, Norma Jean

Hi everyone!!

Hi everyone, As you can see, I didn't do too well with the Doodle-a-Day Challenge. I don't have the time to do it everyday with work and all.. but I will keep trying because it's fun!
I did find something else I can do. A friend had posted about an online class she is taking and it looked like a lot of fun and I feel I can learn a lot.
It's called Inspiration Wednesday with Donna Downey. This is my first week. You can buy or make your own journal. I decided to make my own because I also hoard fabric!

Hi everyone!! Well, today is a sad day for me.. I have to go back to work Monday after 16 days off.. lol
I'm going to do my Doodle Post for the week on Sundays. This is my first time actually doing a year long challenge and I really want to stick with  it. Some will be big, some will be small..  I should have went and bought a book to keep them  all in. I think I might on my way home from work tomorrow.. I'm finding this to be very relaxing.
So, here is my first week of doodles: I love doing the flowers. I like the zentangle part, too. I'm learning, so hopefully by the end of the year I will get better at it. Thank you for stopping by  Hugs,  Norma Jean

Hi everyone, 
Wow! I can't believe I haven't blogged in over 6 months. I haven't been crafting lately. During the mid-summer we did a lot of painting and fixing up the house. Still have more to do, but it's coming along. I've been enjoying the Christmas shut down at work, 2 full weeks off, but it's coming to an end and that is making me sad! I have enjoyed not working a lot. First week was busy getting things ready for Christmas and this week my son and granddaughter have been here. So, not getting much done with a very active 4 year old! I love her so much.
The reason for this blog post is that I noticed a challenge on my friends Facebook page that she is participating in and it caught my interest. I thought I would join the fun.. 


It's calledDoodle Days 365 Challenge.Everyday for the year you're supposed to doodle something. Now I do not draw, at all, so this will be very challenging for me. I'm hoping this will help me become better at drawing and be…
