While we were at the retreat we went into Sundre (just about 5 min from where we stayed) and they had the cutest iron on transfers...so many of us bought these - so adorable

Ducks - my MIL and me love ducks.

couldn't resist the dogs

more puppy's (see I couldn't resist)

When I was at the creative stitches show, I found these excellent scrap booking letters that I use for applique - works great and they were a good price. Since I purchased these at the show I have seen these chipboard letters at the dollar store for $1 - I paid $6 and thought that was a steal.

I will do a tutorial on these in the near future so you can see what I mean...

found this cute pattern for pin cushions...which I will have to make aren't these awesome? Who wouldn't like one of these by their sewing machine?
