Little girls...

Thanks heaven ...for little girls!

I love drawing little girls and love creating designs with little girls.

I have such a strong bond to my own daughter...it is like we have forever known each other....

maybe it is because it seems she has an old soul.  If there is such a thing as a past live...she would definitely have been with me before.

Above it my patriotic girl...a combo of fabric applique (super easy) and embroidery. 

This is a different shot of my "She lingers in the garden" quilt...

It has fabric applique and simple blocks background. 

(The color is off on this pic...should have fixed it...sorry)

I love the simplicity of this one....it is a super fast embroidery....framed in a hoop. 

This one reminds me of Cinderella...which has always been a big favorite of mine.

My dad used to call me "Cinderella Dorothy Queen"....my 3 favorite people...lol.

This design started out as a simple doodle in my sketchbook...I love finding my original sketch and seeing how it changed for my pattern.

Sweet fairy!

Can you see the glitter on the wings and dress? 

This is the "Vintage Garden party girl"...

I used some scraps of vintage fabric for this one...love her green eyes! 

This pattern ...called True love lasts...comes with the 3 designs.

Her flowers have lots of little beads...very easy to add to the embroidery. 

Sweet Witchy poo

She is definately not scary.

See the bat dropping off a candy corn to her...lol.

Speaking of little girls....

I have to show you my little girl's prom pictures (before prom).

She is a junior and she got all glammed up. 

Here is the cute couple...Selina with her boyfriend.

A little nervous yet excited.

They danced all night...had a great time!

....

Now I feel really old!

Boo hoo

...................

Find a little time for yourself today!

Come to thrifty Thursday!  Come to the Pin me linky party!   Come to to the party bunch!

New design- Everyday is a gift

Yay!!!.... my new pattern is done....sometimes things just get in the way and you can't finish something for awhile.....but I did it! 

This is Everyday is gift Stitchery hoop art pattern, #283  on  My ETSY 

and also on my PATTERNMART.

Inspirational sweetness...Everyday is a gift. This lovely lady is made combining fabric, embroidery, & special easy art techniques. Change hair and eye color to match a loved one. Frame the design in a hoop... so quick! Hoop art measures: 8 1/2" x 8 1/2"

As the years go by....I realize how true this statement is.  My mom died 14 1/2 years ago....she had a terminal disease and she literally willed herself to live to see my one and only baby.  20 days after my daughter was born...she passed away.  She didn't get to see my daughter grow. They could have had so many special moments.  She missed my business grow from a few craft shows I did ... and now designing patterns.  She never got to see the internet, cell phones, and other little things we take for granted.  We missed out on having her for all the holidays, advice, good times, and such.  I could go on and on! 

Everyday is a gift!

Come to the party....Whipperberry party

Everyday is a gift!

Here is a sneak peak of my new Pattern:

Everyday is a gift!

She has a Cinderella quality....I loved giving her a vintage fabric dress.

I am truly inspired by this saying!  This pattern will be available very soon! 

Have a sunny wonderful day!

Come over to the party..... at Whipperberry....see all the creative things everyone has been up to!

Easter bunny, Cinderella, & Pink teddy bear

It's freebie Friday.....I thought you would like some cool images....like this Easter card....with a super cute bunny and chick.  I am sorry I didn't crop very nicely...I was in a total rush cause I am watching Etsy online lab for sellers.  It is always a good idea to learn more.

Here is an old print of Cinderella I found in an old magazine...just tucked in between the pages.  I loved Cinderella as a child....my dad used to call me "Cinderella Dorothy Queen"...cause that is what I wanted...he he he.

Here is a very sweet teddy bear....Look how it says for your first Easter....as if you need an Easter card when you are 1 or younger..lol.  You just can't be sad looking at his bear!!

Have a fabulous weekend!
