Happy May day!

Please let me introduce you to my new grand baby Alice!

She was born March 23...and she is the sweetest lil girl.

She looks a lot like my other Grand daughter Jessica.

I love these girls sooooo much!

I am lucky to be a grandma...such love!

Jess gets a bit jealous...but she is a good Sis...always fetching her something and loves to throw away her diaper...lol.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

It's time to celebrate 250 years of this glorious country!
These beauties are fun to make and are frankly addicting.

I have a brand new pattern: American Bowl fillers and ornaments #457... it is available in my etsy shop.

It is a big pattern...12 pages long..lots of photos, detailed instructions and tips!.

Sew up some vintage like Patriotic Americana bowl fillers & ornaments...Using velvet & lace! These make great decor from Memorial Day...to Flag day.....to 4th of July and to Veteran's day!
There is a rectangle flag, Uncle Sam hat, a Rocket firework, a heart flag, star flag, a square with stars and patriotic strawberries!

Make use of your laces and beads...most everything is at hobby lobby if you don't already have supplies....including velvet!

They make a great gift and look amazing sitting on a little shelf or hanging on a tree or knob. Plus they are terrific craft show sellers.

These strawberries are so fun...easy too! They great pincushions as well.

Finished sizes are: from 6" x 4" to 4 1/2" x 3".

Stitch up this Unlikely Friendship... Of a cat & mouse... to celebrate your friends! This is a sweet design with 2 friends in a garden.
Make it into this cute pillow with patchwork borders...
Or frame how you like.

This mouse and kitty are best buddies!

This embroidery is easy and quick. The pillow is made with a pillow form. The directions have color charts, diagrams and several pictures.
Embroidery design measures: 7” x 6 1/2“ long
Pillow measures: 12” x 12”

This is my FREE design.... from me to you...for my blog readers!

It's super quick!

Lastly... I want to share some of my finished goodies in my etsy shop.

Hello March!

Happy March!

I think it's safe to say we all want winter to go away!

The green is cheerful from all the St. Patrick's day decor!

It won't be long before the first signs of spring will be here.

I heard birds chirping like crazy the other day... it was beautiful.

I made another phone/tablet calendar for you!

Click here to download it.

The theme is a mouse with shamrocks.

I painted these using acrylics.

__________________________________________

Now onto some more serious content.

I've decided to simplify my life more
and post LESS on my blog and newsletters.

I have been working hard on these throughout the years...sometimes stressing out about getting it done and making all the content.

Since having a stroke and other health complications back in 2020....I have had to really change my life. My health is number one and of course... my family.

I am not going to stop creating....just changing a few things to make life easier.

I love creating art and making patterns... they really feed my soul.

So I think I will just occasionally post on my blog and newsletter.

I will continue to post on Instagram and Facebook!

Please follow me there and get daily content....

about things I have been doing, art, designs, and more!

I will stop making monthly calendars.

Freebies will be an occasional thing.

I will have all my designs on Etsy for instant download

ETSY

They are easy and fun....make them into these cute decorations!

It measures: 5 3/8" wide x 4 3/16", but could be enlarged or reduced.
