August Blog Hop! Doggy Days of Summer / Any Pet Themes Blog Hop

Welcome to my super awesome Blog Hop, this one is super special to me because I love my two dogs Daisy and Piper.

I am super excited to show you what I came up with. The Daisy Delight set was what gave me my initial inspiration.

I love my completed scrapbook page of my beagle pup Daisy. Participating in this blog hop has really inspired me to try new things. The background paper on the page is a mixture of Nature's Poem and Garden Impressions 6x6 DSP.

While creating this page my puppies kept me company in the craft-room. They love looking out the window waiting to spot the neighbors cat. I was lucky the cat didn't show up today, so things stayed pretty quiet and I was able to craft undisturbed. In the future I will have to create another one of these pages for my girl Piper.

Don't forget to take advantage of the August Bonus Days Special and use my hostess code: AXMBMQE4. For every $50.00 you spend you earn $5.00 to spend in September. Contact me for more information.

Fidget Blanket (Fummeldecke) Ideas

This will be my first time ever making a fidget blanket- I was so happy to have the opportunity today to gift my Oma a fidget blanket. I love her with all my heart, it just makes me so sad that not much can be done for her while struggling through dementia. She told me it was beautiful and she appeared to like it. I showed her each square and what she can do with it. The first thing she noticed was the wording; „Mit Liebe Gemacht“ which translates to „Made with love“. Oma Hildegard is German and I wanted to make sure she would recognize things and always remember that we love her. What is a Fidget Blanket?

Diamonds Are Forever Quilt Block

Saw this pattern on Facebook and Pinterest, so I eyed the pattern and came up with my own measurements. Supposedly... this is a old pattern. It caught my attention because it uses remnants of fabric and I hate seeing things go to waste. This project uses a dryer sheet. So... save your dryer sheets! Cut a piece of paper and dryer sheet to 6.5” square. Find the 2” width and mark with line. Draw a line on the left and right to the bottom center. Cut out pattern piece. Cut a rectangular piece of fabric for the center piece. 3” x 9.5” Place pattern piece on top of the fabric and cut to size. I used symmetrical patterns / colors on each side of the diamond. The width of fabric was 1/2” - 2”, s and used scrap triangle pieces for the ends. Watch short video clip „ here “ Finished block size should be 6.5“ Very similar to endless chain:
