October......

has just slipped up and made it's way to the calendar!   Where in the world did September go?   If you find it somewhere, send some of those days back to me.   I just know that I missed some, I don't know which days I missed, so I'll take any that you send my way!   ggg   Ok, I know that it really does not work that way.  It kinda would be good if it did.  Maybe a "do-over" day or two thrown into each month, I could handle that.

I started a small little project last night, real late.  I just got the pieces cut out.   I have a Ladies Night Out at church this month and it's also serving as a baby shower for one of our young couples.   So, my gift is "starting out" with a 3d baby carriage.   I have no idea what it will end up with.   I will post a pic or two when I get it along a little further than it is right now.   And I will ask y'all for any suggestions you have to go with the baby carriage and a card.  I am up for suggestions starting now.  So, if you have recently done something that would be appropriate for my project, let the ideas and suggestions fly.
So, this is what I have so far.  The frame of the carriage that is leaning up is actually three layers of Bazzilla cardstock.   (If you know who the creator of the carriage is, please let me know and I will be happy to give credit where credit is due. Thanks.)   The first two layers of the section is with the wheels glued together, and then the carriage section without wheels glued over that.   Then the box body part has all the tabs with scor-tape on each tab.  We'll see how that works.  And the four inked wheels to put on last with pop dots to make them stand away from the frame wheels.  Hope that makes sense.

I just hope I can bring this together.  With the difficulties I have with my hands, this will be challenging for me.  But, if I don't challenge myself, I'll never know what I can accomplish.  So, please say a prayer to God, The Father, on my behalf.

Ok, so I got the baby carriage finished.  I am satisfied, but I wish I could come up with something else to do for it.  I would love some input.   So, here it is:


If you have any ideas, I sure would love to hear from you.  I am having a mental block .  I may redo it.  I am seeing the white pop dots between the wheels.  I don't really like that.  Anyway, this is what it looks like now.  Again, I'm open to suggestions.

For now, if you are reading this, thank God for you eyes.  I just thank God every day for the ability to get out of bed, some can't.  I thank God for the ability to see, some can't.  I thank God for the ability hear, some can't.  Most of all, I thank God for Him loving me enough to provide a way to have a relationship Him, through Jesus Christ, my Lord and Savior!  I pray that Jesus Christ is your Lord and Savior, also!!!  Have a wonderful day in the name of Jesus!!

Hugs and October tidings to all, Patty

  2. I think it's adorable!!! The only thing I would change is the butterfly. It doesn't show up very good. Cut one out of white, run through an embossing folder, and see what that looks like. The pop dots don't bother me, but if you really don't like them, can you make it with just one set of wheels? not double??? Wendy

    1. Thanks Wendy. I appreciate you looking and giving constructive advice. I will give the butterfly a whirl. Probably just leave the wheels like they are, you said it doesn't bother you. Just needed an opinion other than my own. ggg Thanks again. Hugs, Patty

  3. That is super cute, Patty! Are you going to put anything inside the carriage? If not, maybe a little bit of felt or other fabric would be nice? I like monotone colors, but that may also be an area that could be embellished a little. Either a little black or white on the wheels and/or scallop trim? Or even some glitter glue to add one more little detail to the wheels or scallop trim. Good luck. Those are sure to be a hit!
