This week I worked on some repeating halloween designs...like Franky and his gal pal..

they are holding their treat bag and doing some serious trick or treating.

It was fun playing with colors and changing things up a bit.

I drew this and watercolored it on sunday...while by my sister's pool.

I love bringing a small watercolor pad and just making something up on the spot.

I can always sell the original, scan it and make it into a print or tags, or I could make it into a repeating pattern design...

the sky's the limit.

This is going to be make next pattern...but it won't look like this when you see it next!

I also was playing around with raw edge applique...so much fun and so much texture!

I will share more about this next week.

Have a terrific weekend!

Come to the home matters linky party and to Craftastic Mondays!

Shine bright...freebie embroidery design

I love glitter!

This is my freebie this week..."Shine Bright".

I stitched it using a darker pink floss and added seed beads on the dot areas.

It fits perfectly in my daughter Selina's hexie pendant blank.

Selina has all kinds of wooden pendant blanks and more in her etsy shop and on her website.

I added glitter to this...just some glue and pink glitter....the picture didn't show off the glitter has cute as it really is though.

Copy and save...

This is her hexie 3 pack....and it comes with this bunny design.

She also has tons of other packs!

We share a studio...so I just walk right on over to her stash and choose what I want...I am spoiled!

It's five o'clock somewhere...yay!

This is the Friday Freebie this week!  

This design is perfect for my daughter Selina's mini hoop pendant blanks.

Her shop is on etsy and she also has a website!

This is super easy to stitch and fast too!

Just copy and print out.

Transfer the design with a light box or window onto muslin using a disappearing marker.

Put your muslin in an embroidery hoop and choose some floss colors.

For the center are of the design...I added little tiny wool scraps...I just added a french knot center and stitched down the edges.

Then I removed the marker with water.

Then popped it into the pendant blank.

Her mini hoop packs comes with instructions and a free pattern...."Hello". 

They can be necklaces, pin/brooches, magnets and even a key chain.

I love how this turned out and it kind of reminds me of the watch the white rabbit holds in Alice in wonderland.

I wanted to share something I made years ago....It was supposed to be a bird feeder full of seeds...

It is a scrap of a wood 4 x 4 post...hooked onto a round cake tin.

Then I painted it and added butterflies too.

I just could never bring myslef to put it outside because I knew it would get yucky!

So I added some buttons to it and it looks great in my studio!  I have this orange wood spoon to scoop with.

Cute huh!

I love raffia too...makes fun bows.
