Zombie sneaky peak, plus more

This is a sneaky peak of my next pattern....

No Brains!  I want candy!

It is the second of my zombie girls.

Last year I came up with this one....

Zombies just want hugs.

People love it.

Some people have been asking me where to find the Christmas ornaments that are on the current cover of the Somerset holidays and celebrations magazine....

You can find it right here!

These ornaments are just the perfect addition to your Christmas decor. There are 8 different designs...deer, candles, angel, Merry & bright, noel star, tree, a sweet snowman and Snow! Make a batch today... so fast & easy. Hang them on a tree, stack in a basket, or have them adorn a package.

They took really lovely pics!

Make them sparkle and shine on your tree. They also make great wearable pins.
8 Finished ornaments
each measure: 2 1/2" x 3 1/2"
to: 3/4" x 3 3/8". 

It's always a thrill to see your info in a magazine! 

My Witch mannequin is also in this issue.

This pin keep is primitive and spooky, made to look like a vintage Witch mannequin dress form and it keeps all your pins. So cool!!!! It measures: 20 1/2" tall depending on the candlestick stand.

This is not a new pattern...I designed it years ago.....but it is a classic and really turns out stunning.

People have copied my pattern...and made their own patterns....but mine is the original and has lots more detail than the others.

This pattern comes with photo to make witch cameo and special grunging treatment for candlestick...it is great to use to use on old cans, spools, and anything you want to look old. The skirt is trims and even strips of a page from a book...with stars. Make broom too!

So excited to see this....I encourage everyone to submit their own designs to these Somerset magazines...they are really sweet.

I also have my zombie tags featured in the gallery.

You can purchase the collage sheet of these tags here.

There are 6 different tags...sayings include: Never trust the living, Zombies dig chicks with brains, You can't break a dead girl's heart, Great minds...taste alike!, Zombies eat brains, looks like you're safe!, and zombies just want hugs! These are just for fun, all in the spirit of HALLOWEEN. Each tag is 2 3/8" x 4 7/8".
These are great for you scrapbooking, altered art,crafts, and decorations.

Have wonderful holiday!

Cutest pumpkin in the patch!

Here is my newest pattern: Cutest pumpkin in the patch-

#335 Prim pumpkin doll and skull balloon.

I am really in love with this guy!

The pattern is in my Etsy shop, Patternmart, and on my website (printed/mailed).

Nothing scary here....just sweet and innocent!

Haunt your house with this adorable Pumpkin doll...he has candy corn buttons, a leafy collar and a fun skeleton balloon to hold onto. This is a sweet mix of Prim & cute. Fast, takes simple supplies, & is easy! 

Pumpkin doll measures: 8 1/2" x 23"

Skull balloon measures: 3 1/2" x 10"

It looks so cute hanging or sitting!

These guys are so much fun and a great addition to your Halloween decor!

I love mixing vintage style with sweet and cute.

----------------------------

I have another Pumpkin character almost done....he will come with a set of 6 tags to fit your mood...

Gotta come back to see!

Come to Thrifty thursday, The pin Me linky party and the Party bunch...for tons of fun!

So many ideas....come get them!

You probably know that I am part of the Deflecto design team by now....so excited about it!

Deflecto is a great company that  provides all your solutions to stay organized so you can concentrate on your projects not your clutter.

I want to share my final frame projects with you.

The above picture is my Jewelry display....great for your bedroom to hang your necklaces on or to display necklaces in a craft booth.

For this sweet Jewelry holder..I used the big 12" x 12" frame. I added my favorite scrapbooking paper. Then clipped my old clothespins to the top. The necklace hangs on the clothespins...by a loose knot in the chain.

I used the magnetic frame as a message board of inspiration. The barn photo is my daughter's photography and I added some wheat.

This is a business card holder made from two frames....3" x 4" and the very tiny 1 1/2" x 2". I taped them together at the bottom. I added an atc card I made that says "Bloom". The small frame has a bit of pink paper where I stamped "Take a card".

Another angle of the business card holder made from two Deflecto frames.

I used the Pink 8 1/2"x 11" frame and added my digital art sign. The saying comes from Les Miserables. I added vintage ribbon flowers.

I love using little bits and pieces that I have been hoarding for projects like these.

I have shown you this before and the following, but I just wanted you to see the whole group of them together.

This one is my raggedy Ann watercolor painting in the green 5" x 7". I added a little scrap of fabric to the lower corner with an even tinier scrap of muslin with the word "Cutie" stamped on it. The scraps are sewn together and then glued on (I taped so I could use the frame in another project).

So simple! 

I love frames because a lot of what I do involves frames....like my digital signs I make and sell on Etsy.   This is my "Home of the free because of the brave" sign in the stand alone frame. 

 I added some tulle rosettes and a small paper banner to the bottom.

Here is a Halloween watercolor of a scarecrow. This is in the purple 5" x 7" frame. I added my flash card (I design flash cards too) that says "Scarecrow" and also added fall leaves. So easy.

Another very simple project.

I really love the large pink frame! Here I put a watercolor print of mine in the frame....and added a paper streamer rosette...with a vintage paper punch circle and a decorated bottle cap.

The bottle cap has a floral image and pink glitter. I added the words "Be Kind" to the rosette. This would be so sweet in a little girls room.

This is my mom (she's has been gone almost 17 years now) and I thought she would look great in the black 5" x 7" frame.....sort of retro. Her pic was taken back in the 50's. I punched out some scalloped circles, stamped the letters for mom on them and then glued them onto a pennant shape made from pretty paper. I glued them onto ribbon and then attached to the frame.

I love going through my papers to see what fits best. 

Here I took one of my drawings on brown craft paper and just added layers of black stringy yarn to the bottom with a vintage button.

The magnetic frame is so nice for the fridge....nice strong magnets! I just put one of my calendar pages inside....so very easy.

The 3" x 4" frame is great for artist trading cards....I put one of mine in and added a little tea dyed muslin banner. The banner is stamped with stazon ink (pad)...I used the word "Cutie" and then added a line a glue around the banner and sprinkled with glitter. After it was dry I just tucked the banner in the side of the frame. 

Here is my daughter Selina's Photography ....a beautiful Sunflower.
We put this in the 8 1/2" x 11" frame with pink border.....love Pink! I added raffia around the frame and a sweet tag saying "This is the life!"

I love raffia...especially with fall coming.

------------------

Please take a peek at Deflecto....and I hope you have a wonderful day!

 

 

Come to Thrifty thursday, The pin Me linky party and the Party bunch...for tons of fun!

ABC freebie series!

Happy summer August day to you!

I am starting a series that will last a long time....ABC designs.

This is the first....just in time for school to start!

Each week I will put the next letter on with a cute design...they would be so cute in an embroidered quilt for a child....or stitching up just the design...like this apple. 

Can you guess what design will go with the "B"? 

Make a guess in the comment section!

---------------------------------------------------

Here is another sneaky peak of my next pattern....coming very soon!

I have been having headaches lately.....I used to have migraines but they went away.

I am trying to take it alittle easy and relax...hard to do when I have so many things to finish up.

-------------------------------------------

I am designing with Deflecto products now....and it is such a pleasure!

Deflecto provides all your solutions to stay organized so you can concentrate on your projects not your clutter.

The picture just above is an acrylic frame that I put one of my ATC cards in.....then I just added a banner. The banner is stamped with stazon ink (pad)...I used the word "Cutie" and then added a line a glue around the banner and sprinkled with glitter. After it was dry I just tucked the banner in the side of the frame.

I really love the large pink frame! Here I put a watercolor print of mine in the frame....and added a paper streamer rosette...with a vintage paper punch circle and a decorated bottle cap. The bottlecap has a floral image and pink glitter. I added the words "Be Kind" to the rosette. This would be so sweet in a little girls room.

 Here is a closeup of the rosette. 

I have badge patterns for every style and occasion you could think of in my etsy shop.

This is a drawing I did on brown cardstock....a pen and ink. I wrapped lots of black stringy yarn around the base and then added a vintage button. It goes well with the drawing!

 

These frames come in all kinds of styles and sizes.....but one thing I noticed that I LOVE is......it is so easy to change what is inside the frame.  I get so tired of the back of other frames with hard to remove staples or funny metal tabs that usually rip your fingernail.

 

Until next time...take care!!!

You gotta be kitten me! plus Sneaky peak

Happy Monday!

Here is Lucky complaining to me....no wet food in quite a while and he is mad!

I just don't like the smelliness of wet food.

I thought this caption was perfect for him....a play on words.

My garden in going crazy growing everywhere.

Our garden is in our old hot tub... it is great!

I added the sunflowers for fun....but there are tomatoes, gourds, pumpkins and catnip...peppers.

The pumpkins just grow over the hot tub.

You have to watch where you walk.

By the way our pumpkin were supposed to be cucumbers.

One is turning orange!!!! Along side a roma.

We put a netted support for this guy....he wanted to start growing on the edge.

The weight would have broken it.

Side note....the dollar tree has these cool googly eye push pins.....I had to have.

They are in the back to school department.

Sneaky peak!!!

Pumpkin guy coming soon!!!

Lastly I leave you with Lucky sniffing the lens.

Not his finest pics...but he doesn't know!
