Kind of a big deal freebie

Isn't this elephant cute? 

and big!

So he is kind of a big deal...thought that would be a fun saying with it.

save and trace and stitch!!

*****************************************

Hope you have a wonderful Merry Christmas and I am going to keep it sweet and simple!

Easy as pie freebie

Easy as pie!

Sometimes it is pretty easy, like when you buy the rolled dough....but when you make the crust it gets harder. You know, to get perfect rust.

Have fun with this freebie and please let others know...every Friday is another freebie.

***************************************************

My daughter made apple pie for her boyfriend...and all the buddies came over and it was gone!

It reminds me of when my mom would take hours to make homemade bread and it was gone in seconds.  There was never left overs back then.

***************************************************

My latest obession is using Sulky sticky fabric-solvy for embroidery.

I just print on the paper...perfect for downloadable embroidery patterns (like mine!)...peel and stick on your fabric.

Here I am stitching on vintage linen....and printed out one of my designs on draft quality print.

It is easy to stitch through and would be awesome on dark fabrics or fabrics where you couldn't see the transfer pen.

After stitching you rinse away the printed paper/sticky stuff.....and let dry.

I put it in one of my daughter's small tag wood shapes, which she willhave available very soon.

Now it's finished... I added a pinback to it and put a ribbon in the hole.

Here is what the sulky looks looks like. it is in the sewing  notions area of craft stores.

I just cut from the roll a page size piece and print.

I wanted to share this vintage item with you...which I think is a sort of bingo card.

I love the sweet graphics.

We love huckleberries....which are really popular around here....my sister is always planning her picking times in the woods.

Sweet tomatoes....good and round

Eggs....love it

I keep meaning to grow some sunflowers each year, then forget.

I never see cows this cute....guess I am looking in the wrong fields.

If you know what this card was used for....I would love to hear from you!

Thrifting and sneaky peaky

I went thrifting on Saturday with my husband and daughter!

We slipped over the border of Washington to Idaho- which is really close.

I love getting more creating supplies...cheap!

Above I got these sweet candle rings....which I got for the berries.

I got an antique rug hooking device for 2.50 and I always pick up hoops which are great to frame embroidery in.

This is a huge spool full of great  vintage black trim....I'm thinking witches, Halloween, and more.

Only 5 for the whole thing.

I got a pack of fun fabric...love getting velvet!

Here is a whole pack of white bump chenille...fun for arms and legs on mice and more.

I also got salt shakers for mini mannequins, pipe cleaners, and twine.

I love frames...you never know when you will need a quick gift for someone....frame it up!

I also got scissors, and tape measurers.

35 cents for vases, perfect for large mannequins.

I love paper mache....I already have bunnies and now I can add this duck.

Ultra suede scraps...good for mice ears, legs, and arms....plus much more.

Candle sticks are great for bases for projects.  I love getting a deal on stuffing.

This baskets set is great for organizing small items.

I also got some things for our home like a ceramic bunny, green dishes for St. Patrick's day, a huge glittery owl for thanksgiving, Tudor playing cards, and more....I totally rocked!

My daughter got a cool carpet, some photo shop discs and accessories...she really didn't buy much fashion as she normally does.

My poor husband didn't find much, but he had fun anyway....we laugh and make fun of weird items....then hit Red lobster- gift cards- yay!
