Bloggers I Admire - Gail at Purple Hues and Me

It's one of those special Wednesdays when I get to introduce you to a favorite blogger of mine.  If you haven't met Gail from Purple Hues and Me, you are in for a treat!

Gail is a great "all-round" blogger.  She pretty much covers it all, cooking, sewing, crafting, gardening!  She has some killer knock-offs as well.  I've followed Gail for quite a while and I can tell you she is a great supporter, which in my opinion is an important part of blogging. Yep, she's talented and friendly! 
I wanted to share Gail and her blog with you at Christmas time because she has created some beautiful holiday decor that just amazes me!  When I asked her for some of her favorite projects, these are the ones she chose.  (I'll be showing you a few of my favorites in a bit.)

This first one is a so pretty and it's pretty special too!  All of the jewelry is from family members!  How cool is that??!  You can click on the link at the bottom of the pictures to see the projects.

Family Jewelry Christmas Tree

 This ornament is so interesting and beautiful.  Gail created it from a memory she had of an ornament her mother-in-law made.  She gives a great tutorial on how you can make one yourself and customize it to suit your own decor.

Ribbon Angel Ornament

 I think Gail likes angels.  She also made this cute beaded one that would look great on a tree or tied to a package. If you want to make your own, she's provided a tutorial on this as well.

 Now here are a few of my favorite projects that Gail has done!  This first one, you probably already have seen because it was featured everywhere and rightly so as it is just stunningly gorgeous!

Poinsettia Tree Skirt

 Christmas isn't the only holiday that Gail can make sparkle.  Check out this cool beaded pumpkin she did for fall.  She'll show you how to make one for yourself as well.

 Gail can sew as well and you all know how I admire anyone who can create beautiful things with a sewing machine!  Check out what she did with the fabric she found that matches some new chairs she bought!

Leftover Fabric

 Finally...Gail cooks up some great recipes! How about a fabulous appetizer?

Broccoli Bites

 Or maybe this belongs on your dessert table at Christmas!  (It looks so gorgeous doesn't it?)  Gail will show you how in a very easy step-by-step tutorial.  Really, doesn't it remind you of stained glass?

Mosaic Jello Dessert

 You can see why I love Gail and her blog, right?  Seriously, this is a woman who does it all and does it all very well!  So take a minute to visit Gail and her blog and maybe even follow along. Not only will you find a warm and wonderful blogger, you'll find something there that inspires you.....I promise!  
Thank you so much Gail for letting me feature you!  You have a great blog and by the way....an awesome new blog design!
