It's five o'clock somewhere...freebie friday

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.

Spooky days ahead...

My Witch Mannequin dress form pattern is the sale pattern of the week!

IT is only $2.99 in my etsy shop!

These are some of the mannequins I have made in the past...all sold quickly.

Each one can look different....choosing different fabric, photos, embellishments...etc.. 

Notice the glittery stars...just cardboard with glitter on top! 

The skirts can be paper, yarn, ribbons, and string. 

The shawls are cheesecloth.... 

This one has a tulle skirt and an "EEK" badge.

This is a great craft show seller!

Superbowl Sunday!

It's Superbowl Sunday once more

Gotta say....GO SEAHAWKS!

Above and below are some new pictures from my daughter Selina.

We live in Spokane Washington....home of Expo 74.

The smallest city to have ever hosted a world's fair!

This is the clock tower...a wonderful part of the riverfront park we have...a huge park right in our downtown...with roaring falls all over!

They lit up the clock tower with the Seahawks emblem.

We had to go at night and see it! 

She added special effects....all of these are in her Etsy shop...Peacock Gumdrop!

My daughter is a junior in high school, 17 years old.

We are always shocked however when we go out...they are always trying to put us in the bar section....I keep saying she is not old enough.  

This is perfect for the Seahawk fans out there. 

Also ...another huge site in the city is this extremely tall set of towers....which were colored with lights...for the seahawks. 

There are 12th man flags everywhere...people dressed form head to toe in Seahawks merchandise.

Like my hubby...lol

He has his shirt, hat and candy.

He loves his new shirt....and plans to buy more Superbowl gear after we win.

He was cracking jokes while I took this pic....I will not tell you what he said...bad boy!

Have a good Sunday and I hope you have fun...no matter what you do.

Winter scenes of Spokane

The only real limitation on your abilities is the level of your desires. If you want it badly enough, there are no limits on what you can achieve.
Brian Tracy

The above pictures are of my home town....Spokane. 
These are my winter scenes of Riverfront park...it was created when the 1974 world's expo was in our city.  Our town is the smallest city to ever host a world's fair!  My mom got us season passes...and we were not well off...we came from Hillyard(the scrappy side of town).  I was just a kid, but remember it so well.  We went there constantly....it was so much fun!
It is now a gorgeous park in the middle of the city...with the Spokane river going through it and beautiful falls all around.

Time to be Valentines!

Here is my Brand New 2013 Valentine pattern...

Time to be Valentines

I love Alice in Wonderland....so I thought I would play a little with it!

The white rabbit isn't running late .... It's time to be Valentines! This is a fast, easy, and sweet design to make. This looks so vintage like...so pretty hanging from a door knob or peg.
Clock artwork is included.

Aren't these hearts sweet!

Finished design measures: 14" x 5 3/8"
Embroidery design: 5 3/4" x 3 3/4"

 

Do you have Valentine decor up in your house....I want to put them up...just need the push to do so!

Happy New Year...Make your dreams happen!

Yeah!!! It is the New Year....so many things to look forward to.  I love this fresh starting point.....a time to get our goals in gear! I have set lot for myself this year....we all have inside us the stuff to make our dreams happen....we just need to get to work on them....ONCE BEGUN IS HALF DONE!

This year....why not start the day by asking yourself....what can I do today.....to make my dreams happen?
