Grow...freebie embroidery design

I can't believe how much everything is growing outside...it is amazing!

Everyday I go out and see such a change in the scenery!

Even the air smells sweet ... just love it!

Today's freebie is "Grow".  

This would make a great stitched up piece in a black narrow frame!

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

This is my latest sign...

"Enjoy the little things"

I illustrated it....making the background pattern too...I like how the white oval is transparent enough to see the pink background.  This is another $5.99 digital download sign...u download and u print....fast fast fast!

I get inexpensive frames from the dollar store, walmart, and thrift strores.

Remember the United States wall decor my daughter bought me?

Well I painted it... 

I decided to go with alternating colors....soft colors. 

It was very bright when I was finished.... 

So I sanded it...I may sand it some more too.

I straightened the picture better....I just love it.

Trix says...Please check out my Instagram!!!

I share lots of photos there that I don't anywhere else!

Have a Spectacular Weekend!!!

Come to the Pin me Linky Party!      Come to Home Matters linky party!

My LIL PATIO

Everything is coming up roses.

Not really...I have a bad summer cold....that is driving me crazy, but I still hang out on my patio and enjoy the fresh outdoors.

Here is my patio....in the morning....hard to see with all the shadows.

My potting bench....that holds flowers.  I have to keep the petunias away from the silly prairie dogs who think flowers are candy.

The painting in the background is one my daughter did....of downtown spokane.

I took an old enamel bowl that rusted through....and planted flowers.

I found these hen and chickens dying in my yard so I put them in an old frying pan.

They are happy now.

cucumber flower.....

This is supposed to be a cucumber plant...think it is squash

same here(supposed to be cucumber)....but this looks like a pumpkin....who knows.

I guess everything will be a surprise!

I hope to get over this silly cold soon....it takes all the energy out of me.

Hope you are feeling great and enjoying the summer!

 

Back in the day...1982

Good Saturday to you!

This is me and one of my sisters.....back in 1982.

My sister is on the left...her name is Angie  (Angie baby...if you sing the song to her..lol)

I am on the right.  She is four years older than me.

We have had some seriously fabulous times...laughing so hard our mom would yell at us to be quiet for the millionth time.

We would play old computer games like digdug and remote control....with a  Kahlua shake.

Watch the "Kids in the hall" until our ribs would ache with laughter.

She would make a string contraption all across our room so she could pull it and turn out the lights.  She would also fall asleep with gum in her mouth...to find it stuck in her hair....lol.

We would cover our walls with tiger beat pictures of Shaun cassidy, leif erickson, and elton john.....and also that hunky guy from the blue lagoon.

 

Anyway...I could tell a million stories...but she has serious back pain right now....gonna see her next week. 

I hope she gets better soon....I know back pain can come and go.

She also has arthritis now...so that is bad too.

 

She should have a Kahlua shake...I think I will text her that!

Sneaky peaky ... new design coming soon

Hello Wednesday....hump day is here.

I just wanted to share a sneak peak at my new design which is coming soon.

 

My poor hubby is sicky....summer cold.

I am taking care of him...but I don't want him giving it to me.....yucky

He likes to be pampered when sick....but he pretends he doesn't want anything.

I have my sisters coming and I do not need to be sick.

 

What is a good wedding shower gift?  My niece is having a party...seems like everyone has what they need already....which was the point back in the day for a bridal shower.

If you have any ideas for me....I would love to hear them!
