Winter scenes of Spokane

The only real limitation on your abilities is the level of your desires. If you want it badly enough, there are no limits on what you can achieve.
Brian Tracy

The above pictures are of my home town....Spokane. 
These are my winter scenes of Riverfront park...it was created when the 1974 world's expo was in our city.  Our town is the smallest city to ever host a world's fair!  My mom got us season passes...and we were not well off...we came from Hillyard(the scrappy side of town).  I was just a kid, but remember it so well.  We went there constantly....it was so much fun!
It is now a gorgeous park in the middle of the city...with the Spokane river going through it and beautiful falls all around.

Love is all you need...



I gotta share with ya my new pattern...

Love is all you need pincushion scissor fob embroidery pattern

Create a special gift for your BFF. The "All you need is love" pincushion scissor fob keeps your pins, needles, and scissors handy. The pins and needles can't poke through and hurt your table or you. This is the sweetest accessory to your end table or sewing room.

I added "x"s to the side of the heart....for fun.

This is a fast, easy, and fun project. Finished design measures: 4 1/2" x 5 1/2" not including ribbon.

I want to tell you all about my etsy shop...all patterns, signs, flash cards, collage sheets, and anything digital is now an instant download.  When you purchase an item...etsy sends an email with the link to download.... so fast and easy!  You don't have to wait for me to send it in an email....although I always tried to be fast.

I love that they made the change!

Fun Irish Brooches

Good Mornin'

It snowed this morning .....but it melted...yay!

Come on over to my Mrs. Tiddlemouse Etsy shop to see my new Irish pins.

I was making a tutorial for the Create it club last week and had to make some pins that are very similar...using alot of the same techniques.

They were a fun diversion.

Sassie Lassie is above.....I want to decorate for St. Patricks now!

I wanted to share with you what I use in my sewing room....when ironing wrinkly fabric or clothes.

It is linen water from the dollar tree(the price is right!).  It comes in lovely scents......my favs are rose and lavender.

Just spritz and iron.....suddenly your fabric smells fab and so does your sewing room.

Plus wrinkles are gone!

I put it in a jar on my ironing board so it doesn't fall over.  I am a wild iron fiend...not too delicate...lol.

 

I am finally well and no more flu...yay.  Hope you are well too!

The flu.....bad!

Wish I was here....and feeling good.

I have the flu.

Hope you all are feeling better than me.

Take care

A Berry Prim Easter



Good morning!  The sun is shining and hopes of spring coming are running rampant!

I wanted to share this ETSY Treasury that I am proud to be a part of.

Those eggs above are sooooo cool!

These lights are gorgeous!  The sweet simplicity!

I always love a cute stitchery

These eggs are so prim and lovely

Here is my pattern above..very easy to stitch up

Yummy carrots

I love yellow chicks

Who wouldn't want this lovely wreath on their door?!!

Please spring come faster!

Can't wait to take a walk today!

Happy Valentine's Day to you!

I hope you have a Valentine's day filled with love!

I woke up to a big heart box full of Chocolates and a red tea rose plant. 

I got my husband and my daughter a valentine bag (from dollar store) and filled them with goodies(gotta love costco too).

The dollar store is great....I recommend going there if you need last minute gifts.

They have tons of candy, cute sacks, balloons, and assorted goodies....plus cards.

Even if you just get some stuff there....it is a huge savings.

 

Later we are having heart shaped pizza from papa Murphy's pizza.....yay!

 

The tutorial for making the above project is Here on my blog!

Every minute....



For every minute you are angry you lose sixty seconds of happiness.

Ralph Waldo Emerson

By the way... this Love on a pin cushion pattern is on my etsy

 



Magic exists

Magic exists. Who can doubt it, when there are rainbows and wildflowers, the music of the wind and the silence of the stars? Anyone who has loved has been touched by magic. It is such a simple and such an extraordinary part of the lives we live.

This pretty photo above is from my Daughter Selina....Peacock Gumdrop...on Etsy

No more snow ...please! freebie friday

Don't we just want spring already!

I did see a lovely bud on a lilac tree yesterday....the kind of bud that will be a leaf. 

I want to take walks again....without freezing to death.

I want to walk around my house barefoot (no socks or slippers)

I want to hear more birds chirping!

Oh well...I guess spring will come in its own time.

I am working on a project that is getting me all excited....it is more work than I thought....but will be so worth it....I will announce it soon!  Please be patient with me!

That's a bunch of Blarney!



It'll be St. Patrick's day before ya know it!  Blarney seems to be a word seldom used...unless St. Patrick's day is close by.

I am Irish and Scottish...but I don't dare say they are similar...that is a no no.  Both sides would get mad.

I have designed all these St. Patricks day etsy products

Lots of fun!  I have a good time decorating for this holiday.

My mouse is very comfortable on this shamrock....very serious.

My pal Sue made a bunch of these for her next show.....she did a great job so cute!

I love these old pics with my funny sayings.I crack myself up!

This is a very prim shamrock wall hanging...complete with gold coins.

Flash cards..so cute at a place setting.

Ok...I don't like beer....never liked the taste...but isn't this shamrock cute!

I like a margarita.

These tags bring me joy....one says "Drinking Green beer made the gals prettier".  The pic of the girls are pretty funny...he he he.

These pins are super fast to make and come with the artwork..couldn't be any easier!

pretty wall hanging and pillows.

Badges are great for a party!

Lepre-cutie....lil mouse...so naughty!

This sign could be dangerous if someone tries to kiss you...whom you don't want to kiss with..lol.

Last year my daughter won a super cute Shamrock money tree at school bingo night.  It was so exciting....she really loved it.  Now when I see any shamrocks...I think of her tree.

She lingers where the flowers sway

Hey everyone!  I hope you are having a terrific Tuesday!

I have been painting the last couple days....having fun like a little kid. 

The above painting collage is: She lingers where the flowers sway.

This is a combination of acrylic paints, inks, and papers.

I actually added more to the painting after taking this picture...I was on a roll. 

I love the blues and maroon reds.  Usually I am a pink person....just drawn to pink I guess.

My mom loved red....that was her color.

I have a sweet painting....not quite done...which has the Eiffel Tower in it.

I will share that soon.

Ta Ta for now!

 

Cat quote of the week - catnip

 

Here is my "Lucky"....modeling again!

He is pretty fierce when it comes to catnip...his first step is the rip the catnip bag open and then eat it, roll in it, and look really stupid!  LOL

Usually he is very camera friendly, but this time...he did not want the camera around.

 

I gotta give an inspirational quote:

Keep in mind that the true measure of an individual is how he treats a person who can do him absolutely no good.
Ann Landers

 

Happy Monday!

 

 

 

Send in the clowns...

I am not a big fan of clowns....but this has to be the cutest clown ever!

Nothing scary about this guy.  I have a huge collection of valentines...just love them and the corny sayings.

Kitty cat love...so sweet.  Those are naughty green eyes!

Bowling?  yes...bowling is fun...and I love how it is used for a valentine card.

I thought this was an astronaut...but If I could just read...it says something about being sunk...so I guess he is a deep sea diver?  The drawings are fab!

Seems like Valentines is almost here!

Love reminds you sign

I have something really fun and cool in the works....I want it to be a surprise....Can't tell you much just yet....but I think you'll be excited about it and all it has to offer for you!

Got to run to hobby lobby...so much to do, never enough time!
