Class of 2016...freebie!

Congrats to the Class of 2016!!!

My daughter is graduating high school this weekend!

I am so proud and we are throwing a big party!

This freebie would make a great banner...save, cut, print and glue to jute/string!

*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.

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

Here is my daughter Selina!

Her high school colors are black and orange (love it!) and her cake and decorations will be those colors too. 

This is my one and only so I protect this little chick like crazy....but I am going to have to let go soon.

She is going to learn from me...lots of computer classes and art...plus learning home based business. 

So excited about her own laser cutting business.  Some of her products are pictured below.

She has an Etsy shop called: SelinaHudsonDesigns...which has all her jewelry, blanks and finished items.  Plus she sells through Checker Distributors.

Plus she has a photography etsy shop!

She is well on her way....a very productive young woman.

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

Have a fabulous weekend!

Oh snap... turtle freebie

Cute lil guy isn't he!

I don't think he would snap anything.

This is such a sweet yet simple design.

Hope you are having a wonderful holiday season!

Seems like it is going super quick.

My daughter Selina has some great new prints ready!

Like this yummy  new huckleberry cheesecake photo in her Peacock gumdrop shop.

She just took these Poinsettia pictures...lovely colors! 

I love the pink ones...so different and girly!

She took this photo at a fruit stand ... the pure beauty of fruit!

I love the intense color....and she is now printing these on a Epson sure color p800 printer, with premium luster paper and archival inks.  These will last 200 years or more. 

One of the last roses in our area this year!

I love this lil rose bud!

She specializes in nature and architecture.

If you are into the fun coloring book craze...like me...you will like these free Christmas coloring pages

I am going to watch the Jim Carrey Christmas carol.... it is just beautiful animation!!!

I made this scrooge/dickens sign a few years back...using their sentiment!

What is your favorite Christmas show or movie?

Ticket flower hair clip tutorial...FREEBIE!

Today I am very happy to announce that my daughter, Selina, has made a cute FREE ticket flower tutorial...

She shows how to make these cute flowers above...that are so cute with a barrette or hair clip glued to the back.

Come watch and we would love it if you share the video.

Here she is wearing one.

These are some of her amazing photo's....they are in her Peacock Gumdrop Etsy shop.

I love our Bleeding heart...I planted it near my favorite kitty who passed away a few years back.  Her name was Sally.

This barn she took while driving to Leavenworth....a German style city.

This photo was printed in a magazine......she was very thrilled about that!

Alot of these have won blue ribbons at our state fair.

This is Selina last year.....she is also very good at sports.

She loves duck tape....these are rings....she has made backpacks, pens, wallets...and more.

She made collages from her photography too.

It gives a nice idea of what she likes to take.

She has made many duck tape dresses

She paints alot....this is Katy Perry on brown paper.

Her paper dress won lots of awards at the state fair.

Selina holding a frame....I am extremely proud of my lil lady!

Thanks for coming by today!!!

Come to the Party bunch!  Come to the Pin me linky party!

Liberty bell freebie...

The liberty bell...with crack.

This is a very patriotic design ...  handy for celebrating the 4th of July.

Copy and save.

I think this would be a great ornament to hang on a hook.

Or great stitched up on a kitchen towel.

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

This is my daughter's art....her photography.

She has an Etsy shop called Peacock Gumdrop.

Above is her Pink lemonade Print. She is only 17....and is now officially a Senor in High School!

The time flies....doesn't it!!

Love this berry with a drop of water.

She loves taking pics of nature. 

And one of our cats....this is Lucky.

He is a natural poser.

Our other cats are a little harder to get good pics with.

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

Tomorrow my daughter is going to share a new cool tutorial with you...

come back and see...

Hint: Flower

Hint: retro cool

Little joys give us our wings...

Do you believe in fairies?

 This glittery gal is inspiring and uplifting! Such a charming embroidery project....so quick, easy and fun to do. Finish the embroidery in a hoop. Perfect for the little girl in your life and your own home decor.

This new pattern is in my Etsy shop, my Patternmart, and on my website (if you prefer a printed and mailed pattern).

Finished design in hoop measures: 10 3/8" x 10 3/4"

Embroidery design measures: 6 5/8" x 7 1/4"
This was a blast to stitch up....really got my excited about spring!

Here is a little springy goodness...

a collage of my daughter's flower photography.

Selina is 17, a junior in high school and has her own Etsy shop called

Peacock Gumdrop!

She loves to take pictures of nature and also of buildings...

especially old buildings and barns. 

She is my one and only....so proud of her!

Take time today to relax....I practically have to schedule it in now....yikes.

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

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.

Come to Thrifty Thursday!  Come to the Pin me linky Party!  Come to the Party Bunch!

Country drives....still fun

Yesterday we rode around the countryside ....hitting small and tiny towns outside of Spokane.

We enjoyed Rosalia ....it had lots of photo opportunities.

Here is my daughter Selina....with a Greek goddess painter...she has a palette and paint brush.

Selina has an etsy shop with her photography...Peacock Gumdrop.

She will soon have her new pictures up....including the creepiest old abandoned church....we were kinda scared! 

It felt like a ghost could have gotten us.

I love this...near the town main street.

It has a big flag in the rock.

I wish I could reveal more, but my daughter will be making cool prints of our adventures.

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

Summer is almost here.....some say summer begins right after Memorial day. 

This is a brand new sign in my etsy shop....simple and sweet.

The color is an orange and light orange/yellow.....feels warm like summer.

 

These are just some of the summer items in my Etsy shop.

Summer time flash cards

They are fun to put out among shells on shelves....in scrapbooking pages....and on a barbecue table display.

I am so excited to be sitting under the patio and relaxing....feeling warm instead of freezing.

I just need to keep the darned Prairie dogs away.

 

Summery Tags...that crack me up!

 

Sweet bee...

Bee happy Raggedy Ann doll with bee

 

She is a sweetie.  Every time I bring her to a quilt show...everyone wants to buy her.

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

My next pattern has to do with strawberries....should be out tomorrow!

How beautiful a day can be

when kindness touches it!
