Happy December!

Wow...it's the last month of the year!
We are getting really close to a the year 2019....are you ready for it?
I made these sweet candles ...which remind me of retro Christmas designs of the 60's.
Here is a free tablet/phone calendar for December...click here for the download.

and here is the Desktop calendar for your computer.
The left side darker blue area is perfect for you icons to be seen.

This is a busy month...I hope this makes keeping track of the days easier.

I love stitching...and small projects are so satisfying.
I decided to buy this cute design for Wild Olive/ Mollie Johanson
This design is one of many in a pattern called Teeny tiny occasions.
It has lots of little holidays- right up my alley.

I used C & T publishing wash-away stitch stabilizer.  
You can print your designs onto a sheet....cut out the shape or design and stick it right to the muslin.
Then you stitch.  After that you rinse the stabilizer away under plain water.
No tracing.....easy peasy. 
It was soooo fast.
I then put it in my daughter Selina's mini hoop pendant blank. 
These are super easy to use...just pop in your design.

I made a simple little red embroidery floss tassel to add to the chain.
I will have to make a small tutorial for it soon...super easy.
I added blush to the cheek's of the wreath to make her come alive.
I can't wait to wear it!

Just letting you know that this "It's the most wonderful time of the year" mat pattern is now in my Etsy shop. 
This one is cute on a shelf or as a candle mat.

On Thanksgiving....us ladies decided to watch a watercoloring class and get painting.
It was a lot of fun and we all had a very different lady after we were done.
The left was my sister Julie, and middle was my daughter Selina's and the right one is mine.

I gave her curly hair.
While the men watched football, we were creative.
I want to do this again soon...hopefully with all my sisters together.

This is a closeup of another girl I painted...I love her nose...lol.
Painting can really become addictive.
