Come to the pin me linky party and The party bunch....so many wonderful ideas!

Being in magazines

The other day...while organizing my back room of my studio...

I found one bundle of magazines.

They are magazines I have been published in....I haven't seen these in ages.

I have been in a lot of magazines.....and try to keep a copy of each....even though it takes a lot of space.

I LOVED the Country Marketplace magazine.  Now they only publish Country Sampler.

I had a project on the cover of this one.

It was my country garden chenille pillow.

I embroidered in all black embroidery floss and then painted with watered down acrylic paint.

Here I made a fun black cat Halloween mat from wool.

I loved making things with fun foam(now I think...yuck)

these were post it note holders....with magnets on the back.

I made a scarecrow necklace purse.

Again it was stitched all in black, then painted

Lil witch pouch purse

Dream heart...funny to see how things change and evolve.

Bunny lamp in a silver pail.

I made a lot of these and sold them at craft shows.

Santa claws pillow

Little pins to wear.

and a Chenille snowman.

Remember when chenille was sooooo popular?

I still have a lot of it.

Will it come back?

I'll share more of my published designs some other time.

............................... 

If you have designed something yourself...take a pic and send it through an email to a favorite magazine.

It is a blast to have your project published.

Some magazines pay money for a one time publishing (yay!), give advertising, or other compensations.

 

 

Forever begins today.... freebie design

I love to be inspired....I think this quote is wonderful!

This would make a great embroidery design...framed in a very small hoop and hung by the door!

 

*Please note that all freebies are for you to use to make finished goods (no mass producing) and gifts...they are still legally my designs.

Days of Heaven- a movie fav

One of the most beautiful movies I have ever seen is:

Days of heaven.

Yes...it's Richard Gere...back in the late 70's.

When you watch this.....your really appreciate living now... life is much more fair now.  People really had to work hard...just to survive!  But the movie shows how lovely life is...those simple moments that we overlook.

It features lovely music...Listen to the opening song

The cinema photography won an Oscar....they soooo deserved it!

Love the farm house....yes I will take that!  It needs a tree however!

Love the little girl in this...she is the narrator!

I won't tell you what happens....but it involves love, what is right, and the hard life of 1916.

I just thought I would share this with you...I will share more movie favs from time to time!  In the past I have talked about "Midnight in Paris" and "Picnic".  I love all kinds of movies!
