You'll never know what you will see beyond the looking glass --- sew, sit down a spell and enjoy the talented ladies as we hop along in Wonderland. Warning, watch out for the Queen of Hearts as she is losing in the game of croquet and its off with your heads!!!!!

For my last project to share with you on this hop is a card =D
I made the lantern paper piecing by taking a circle punch and cutting the yellow/Gold cardstock into strips. I highlighted the edges using a Copic marker and then arranged the strips on a black strip of cardstock paper. 



We have some great blog candy to offer from April Nourse and PSA Essentials.

Chinese New Year Blog Hop January 22-23, 2012

For my project, I created a "Red Envelope"

It is custom for elders to give a gift of money to a child for New Year's in a red envelope. By doing so it is to bring you and the child good luck, prosperity and happiness. The color red is a symbol of happiness. Traditional red envelopes are often decorated with gold Chinese characters like happiness and wealth. There is a custom way to give and receive this red envelope as well. When giving someone a red envelope, use both hands to present the red envelope to the recipient. The red envelope is also received with both hands.The recipient of a red envelope at Chinese New Year or on his or her birthday should not open it in front of the giver. This is for respect.
