New Found Hobby

At the beginning of the year, I was realizing I don't have a lot of holiday decorations. I purchased several of these block sets from Quilted Bear (another of my new favorite stores) for Valentine's Day and St Patrick's Day. But then decided it was ridiculous that I was spending money on these when I had extra time, a husband that could cut blocks for me, and some creative skills.

This set of blocks is versatile for Easter and Spring. A coworker's wife helped me with this set of blocks that she was already doing for herself. I loved her idea and appreciated her help.


This set of blocks I just wanted to do for all seasons and to give more color to our house. While doing them for myself, I decided to make a set for my sister and mom for their birthdays. They are cheap and I was able to personalize them for their house color schemes, which are actually very similar to mine. Smart minds think a like.


This was my most recent block set. I woke up one morning with the inspiration for them and started them over Conference weekend while home at my parent's and could utilize my brother, Mic's, art skills. This has been a fun craft that will possibly keep me busy this year but then I don't know what I will do next year!!!
