Happy June to you!
Oh boy, this time of year is great...schools ending, warm weather, vacations, enjoying the outdoors, camping, celebrating dads and grads....the list just goes on and on.
The living is easy in summertime....and the day lasts so much longer!
I designed some new calendars for your tablet or phone...click here to download and save as wall paper.
The orange/yellow side is perfect for your icons on the computer...you will still be able to see them.
I already got out my fans and I especially love having the night air in my bedroom...it's so fresh and makes for great sleeping. The crickets are a peaceful sound too.

I recently made up this sweet set of halloween art dolls...
they graduated from Halloween High 2019.
I made some last year...and had a blast creating them....I know its early but Halloween collectors buy early....
Everyone of them sold except the zombie with brains (she is available here)
I sew them up in a primitive style...and hand paint their faces....
They all have embellishments and extras to hold.....
The mummy has his bandages and a wool red heart....
Franky has his bolts in the neck and little scars on his face.
My very favorite was Dracula....I love how his head tilted.
Most of them sold with in a few hours.
I also had to make some patriotic ones....uncle sam and lady liberty.
His eyes crack me up....so blue and innocent.
They have both sold as well.....
but....
My newest ones I am working on are getting close to being finished....they will be in my Hudson's Holidays etsy shop soon.....like this fun Werewolf.
This pumpkin and witch will be there too!

My daughter Selina has a new item in her shop!
Tassels are everywhere now, have you noticed?
They are all the rage.
This is a crafting tool....that come in three sizes on a keychain made from wood... plus mine comes with step by step colored photos and instructions.
The small tassel tool makes a 1" tassel, Medium makes a 1 1/4", and the largest makes a petite 1 1/2".
Make tiny tassels for jewelry like necklaces and earrings (in my pictures I show them on my pendant blanks), use them as embellishments on pillows and pincushions, add them to paperclips for planners and on bookmarks. They make great graduation décor....just use your grads colors. They look great on flip flops, on tags, zipper pulls, hang on purses and make up bags, hanging hoop art, lamp light switch pulls.....and much more!!!
Use floss, yarn, bakers twine, thin crochet thread, string....and make them fluffy or thinner. These take only scraps so it is very thrifty
I like having these on my books I am reading.
They make great embellishments.
This blue one is sweet on her jar pendant blanks.

And by the way ...
you can find our kits of pendant blanks and patterns to go with it
at Nancy's Notions!

My daughter Selina gave me a wonderful gift on Mother's day!
A beautiful clear roof over my patio....and other goodies to make it special!
Now, no rain will fall on me or my cushions!
We painted up this giant mirror and the reflection is wonderful....it make the patio even larger.
She bought me a cool lantern....
new cushions....Trix discovered it and claimed this spot.
We put little light up too
and a table to eat on.
Plus a beautiful rug....I;m very lucky!
Now I can read magazines, books and stitch to my hearts content.
So let's Welcome June!!!
