A crowded nest is best- freebie

It's Friday...the first day in August.....so darned hot here in the pacific northwest. 
I thought this chick would be fun to add to this saying.
Sometimes I just love a simple stitchery to work on...super easy and super quick. 
Copy and save.
----------------------------------------------------------
 
The bees are also hot and getting a little angry, watch out for them swarming and trying to find water sources.
Time to eat up some watermelon and stay cool! 
Let's hear it for August!

A message from Lucky...

This is a message from my cat Lucky.
He is full of wisdom as you can see.

He is also that cat that runs like a bullet if your happen to sneeze.
---------------
On another note...our garden is going crazy....I have never had such a green thumb.
The blossoms are so hug and vivid! 
I have really cool gourds ...they are birdhouse type gourds....this is its blossom.

The label on the little start said cucumber.....yeah right!
Looks like pumpkins.....which is fine with me!

Here is another cucumber.....nice isn't it.
I will go somewhere else to buy starts....ha ha ha.

I guess my hubby will have to wait for next year to have home grown cucumbers!

Signs- for everyday

inspiring
My signs are in my Hudsonsholidays Etsy shop.
There are signs for everyday and also all the holidays.
This Purple sign is constantly pinned on pinterest....I need to turn off my notification emails....too many pins from this.
They are easy to purchase...an email comes instantly after you buy it and you just click on the download link. 
Just save the file and print on your printer.
These make great gifts and are perfect for your home decor.
I often just frame them in a document frame or an 8 x 10 from the dollar store....super easy quick gift.
It is really nice when the person you are giving to has everything and you don't know what to get them.
I print on either white cardstock, presentation paper, matte photo paper and glossy works great too.
These are not meant for resale however.
Just letting you know.
Another thing is that they are a pdf file (adobe reader opens it- free program) and they are not available in jpg.
They are meant to be signs.
They are great for holiday celebrations and parties.

I love how green this one is!
I have them for winter, all four seasons, weddings, birthdays, funny one, and inspiring ones.
These are also great to pack away in totes......I have lots of holiday totes...and these take almost zero room in a tote.

Pass the SUGAR freebie

This is the sugar for the tea set...the 6th in a series of tea related designs.
Next week is the last one....the glorious teapot herself!
Click on the image to make it larger and save.
I have been doing alot of stitching because it is so darned hot....so I stay inside and stitch...catch up on movies and shows.  I love the movie "Blue Jasmine".
--------------
Some quilts I have made use a lot of stitching....like the 12 month raggedy Ann on below.
 
This one was so fun....it is probably on of the top designs I have ever done.
My favorite is the October witch one.
-------------------
Below is my Halloween quilt....always hard to photograph because of the deep contrast between muslin and dark Halloween fabrics.  
Every design is done in Orange embroidery floss.....so easy that way.
It reminds me of redwork....but using orange...very pretty.
 
This is the crow on pumpkin...one of the embroideries in the Halloween quilt.
-----------------------------
Another favorite is the 12 month kitty cat quilt.

I made the cats fun and whimsical....I love the Christmas one best.
All these and more are here in my etsy shop.
