Valentine sweeties

Hello Friend!

The weather has been crazy hasn't it?!

We had fridged temps and I must say I hated it... but everything comes to an end... and things got better.

I also had my wisdom teeth pulled out and was pretty miserable for 2 weeks. Usually I am not such a baby when it comes to the dentist but this took the cake!

I have to go back tomorrow..ugh!

On a happier note-

I have a new design finished.

Sweet Valentine ornaments & bowl fillers pattern, #429

Stitch up these easy valentine ornaments from scraps of wool or felt.

This is perfect to use up your scraps!

I do love hexagons!

Use very simple stitches.
These make great pins or bowl fillers too.

6 designs in one.
There are hearts,flowers and more!
They make a great gift and look amazing on a package. Use bakers twine or string for a sweet hanger.

I love the softness of the heart vine.

I have so many scraps... I love putting them to good use.

I love making these in the evening while watching TV.

You could also make a darling little magnets.

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

I hand painted some valentine ornaments...they are flat plastic discs...there is a front and a back on each.

They are in my etsy shop.

I hand painted these and the backs either have a saying or are painted with hearts.

All are signed and dated.

They come with a ribbon hanger.

Each one is unique.

I have a white tree I decorate for every holiday... I love ornaments for all holidays.

You could also hang them anywhere.

Now ... I have to show you my Grand baby Jessica!

She is 2 months old!

She is the light of our lives and such a sweetie!

A friend is a Greenbay Packers fan and bought her this...

he was dying for her to wear it!

Her Grandpa is a Gonzaga Bulldogs fan and they dressed up for a game!

Cheerleading...lol

She is a good natured baby and smart (do I sound like a proud grandma?)

She is also fashionable...gotta wear it before she grows out of it!

Here is momma Selina and Jessica.

Selina and Jaryd are very good parents and seem like old pros at it.

I love babysitting and playing with her. It will be nice when the weather gets better for strolling around the neighborhood.

Happy December to you!

I want to share the gift tags I made from some art I created!

The PDF file is here or you can copy the picture above.

Just print on white cardstock or a thicker white paper... cut on cutting line and use for gift tags. Print as many as you like.

This is a gift from me to you.

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

I wanted to share the many emotions of my little grand baby Jessica.

She was born November 12th!

Here she is being pretty Angelic!

She is a total sweetie, what a blessing!

She is doing great and so is Selina... Dad (Jaryd) is doing great too!

I love her so much!

Happy New Year...2023!

Yay!

Happy New Year!

2023!

I love when we have a new year....time to reflect, gain some wisdom from the past and have new goals!

Do you have health resolutions? New business goals?

Time to organize? Plans for a vacation? Personal Goals?

Now is a fabulous time to brainstorm what you want from this next year, and set some goals.

Split the goals up into smaller goals if you need to.

The only way to change is to work on these smaller goals each day.

You can do it!

My goals are:

I am working on my diabetes( my A1C is 5.8) and weight (overall health)....I have art goals and I am organizing all my hoard of things (plus getting rid of excess).

I love making new calendars.

I created this artwork on my iPad using procreate. It looks like a painting with paint right?

Made 2 sets of snowman ornaments... all with a snowflake/rainbow scarf theme.

They all sold.

I used my vintage pipecleaners for arms.

The scarfs were dyed silk cut into strips.

These are started from muslin...like my dolls in my charming dolls book.

At a family Christmas party ...we made crayon shavings ornaments

We took a glass ball, shaved crayons into pieces, put them inside the ball and heated it with a blowdryer. We made sure to hold it with some craft pliers. When the crayon melts you swirl the ball around to coat it.
