Spooky witch- trick or treat bag

Wow...is this trick or treat bag spooky!  Not only is she scary/ugly ...she is also sporting some vampire teeth....a double whammy!  I love treat bags of old...the new ones look a little dorky unless they are copying the old fashioned styles.

Once begun....is half done

I want to share with you the sign I made and have in my studio above my work table.  You can copy (Click on it to enlarge it) and save/paste.   I really believe this quote has pulled me through....so that I can get alot more done!  It is a really true statement.  I think alot of people quit before they even get started....just starting and trying is HUGE! 
I never give up on my dreams...I just keep pushing....my business is always growing and changing.  Go for the things you want in life....time is fleeting.....Seize the day (I love it when Robin Williams tells the schoolboys that in "Dead Poets Society").

Oldies but goodies

Good day to you all, here in eastern Washington...it is rainy and looking like fall. 
I just wanted to show you some of my oldies but goodies...older patterns that are still spooky and fun!

This stitchery purse is adorable...cheesecloth fringe!

I love needle-felting on pumpkins of wool felt.  They feel so good.

I love a nice set of them.

My crows are big and make a great large display.

Here are some small needlepunch crows.

This is always a huge hit at shows....just what a witch would would if she got a stocking of goodies.

This is also popular and very vintage like.  He is one of my first designs I ever made.

This cat has banners you can change to suit the seasons.

Halloween ornaments...my paper collage sheets.

This funny guy is from my big Halloween orangework quilt....where there are several stitcheries....all in orange! 
Everyone of these patterns are available on my website or my etsy site.....thanks for taking a peek down my memory lane.

Anytime is nap time- cat quote of the week

Anytime....is nap time!
This is my "Trix" when she was a teenager.  She was playing with the other kittens...like crazy.  At the time we had tons of ribbon, rickrack, and strings hanging from our trees in the backyard...we called it "Crazy string land".  My daughter and I had great fun creating this.  Trix was playing and then literally fell asleep in the crook of this tree...just like a kid who is too tired to admit it.  When I got the camera...she was waking up...probably cause we were laughing so much at her.

My Wolfgirl

This is my daughter Selina.....also known as WOLFGIRL!  She got this cute hat-scarf-mitten thingy at the fair a couple weeks ago. 
Poor Trix got caught.
Selina is such a card!  She is in eighth grade and having fun in softball right now.  She has so many ideas.....that are really good.  She might be an inventor or cop or singer/songwriter or designer or artist or baker...the list goes on and on.  I try to teach her all I can, so she will be ready for her beautiful life.
