Applique quilt show Tampa February 25, 2017

 I went to a applique show this past weekend.  They sure had some wonderful quilts.  People are so creative.  These are some of my favorites.  I love the cute relaxing bunnies and the carrots.  So cute

 I am a tropical kinda girl so when I saw the hibiscus I feel in love.  This is done so well

 Here is a close up.  Perfection

My mom was a bird lover.  She passed away 28 years ago and she really would have loved this one

Bowling Ball Bobber

Yep, check it out, a bowling ball turned into a bobber.

 This is the finished product.  My hubby was a excellent fishermen.  He passed away and I am always looking for ways to honor him.  I planted a tree in his honor and I plan to place this under it.

 This is a old bowling ball my sister used to use.  It was pretty dusty so I had to really clean it off.  I put masking tape around the ball and painted one half with red outdoor acyrlic paint.

 I also painted a tuna can, get it,,,,fishing, tuna,,,,hee hee

 After I let it dry I flipped it and painted the other half white

 Next I hot glued the tuna can on top

 And then added a ring to the top using hot glue and using a Sharpie marker wrote some words. And sealed it with a outdoor clear coat spray.

Soda can flower

Today I have been busy busy busy.  I finally got around to making a soda can flower.  I cut out one regular soda can and then one small juice can.  I used a screwdriver to make a hole through the middle and then used a drawer pull to secure it.  Hung it using fishing line and sprayed it with some mirror spray paint.  I love how it came out
