My sweet lil girl

Recently my sweet lil baby girl turned 17!

I can't believe it!

Seems like yesterday we were strolling her around.

She had a wonderful birthday and had lots of fun. 

We went to the fair on Saturday...and she won a Special grand award for her paper dress made from vintage dictionary pages.

It fits her as well.  She is very artistic and talented.

She also won awards for her photography.

Here are some of the photos she won blue ribbons for...

a digitally enhanced starry night -church

 

Her very popular barn

 

The pink cone flower (my fav!)

Her black and white flower

 

Lucky the cat....

Multnomah falls too

All her photos are in her Etsy shop!

 

I entered 4 paintings and won 4 blues...I am a happy camper too!

The theme of the fair this year was the Wizard of oz.

I wanted to share a wrist pincushion I made featuring the wizard of oz fabric.

Sweet isn't it!

Any favorite fabric can be used in this pincushion pattern

Like this cute lil girl fabric.

I gotta pick up our goodies at the fair now...my daughter is going to help me.

Try to enter something in your local fair next year...it is fun and believe me...people want to see your creations!!

 

Grow along with me.....freebie embroidery design

 

I swear summer days just fly by....I never get as much done in summer as I do the rest of the year.

I wish I could, but I do the same thing every summer.

Stitch up this design during your next baseball game or dentist appointment....why not!

 

 

There's no place like home



Always be a first-rate version of yourself, instead of a second-rate version of somebody else.

Judy Garland

This picture above is from one of my patterns....Oz badges. 

There's no place like home is on my Etsy. This little pattern is of a cute Cairn terrier.  I love the saying "There is no place like home"...it is soooo true.

 

A new Oz movie is coming out soon...looks like fun.  Nothing can be like the original....but it can be enjoyed anyway.

 



Little stitcheries

Here are some of my new small inexpensive embroidery patterns....all new!

There's no place like home is above....it is a Cairn Terrier like Toto from the Wizard of OZ.  These are very quick to stitch up!

Paris Poodle

I love this poodle...would be cute in pink!  I imagine this lil girl walking the streets of Paris.

To be loved...be lovable

Who doesn't love a Dalmatian?  I've always wanted one.  I will have more dog designs soon.

Under your spell

You know how I love Halloween!  I always think of this Holiday way to much!

Ready to spook

This girl pumpkin is fun and wants some treats!  I sadly get no trick or treaters.  I think kids think our area is dark and spooky...we are all by ourselves.  I would like to move someday....to a neighborhood full of trick or treaters.
