What's new with me?

I have been doing a variety of things lately....pretty much having a blast.

I have been painting more Big eyes....

Since I can't have purple hair in real life...I made her have it....she likes it.

This is my kitty ...mid way through....she is now finished.  I will have to take a finished pic.

Bunny girl...with her butterflies.

Sometimes I pick up unfinished wood pieces at goodwill to paint on....why not? 

Here I am trying to finish my embroidery design... You will see what I decided to do shortly.

I didn't do exactly this. 

Punchneedle!

I wanted some bright colors and a flowery motif!

I picked out a rainbow of colors....thank you DMC! 

Last night I couldn't stop myself from punching....it is addicting!

I kept watching "forensic files"....another addicting thing!

I have been recoloring my repeating zinnia pattern...I love blue and purple...they are my happiest colors. 

It is amazing how colors change they way you feel about something. 

I love lime green...it is very cheery.

My favorite yogurt is key lime pie....to die for. 

When I think of Halloween ...I think ORANGE.

These colors remind me of Halloween ....very non spooky....just harvest like. 

I could change colors all day long! 

Sweet black and purple...so sophisticated.

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

I had a great weekend.....hanging with my daughter and hubby.

I better get back to work....I keep doing fun things....lol.

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

You R Sweet freebie

You R Sweet.....it's freebie Friday!!!

I love coming up with little designs....it is so satisfying to draw.

This would make a sweet sachet.

Copy and save.

*Please note that all freebies are for you to use to make finished goods (no mass producing) and gifts...they are still legally my designs.

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

This is my new What's new pussycat? design.

It is a PDF instant download, u print... in my etsy shop.

This would look great in your home and particularly in your child's room. I designed the artwork....making pretty repeating patterns and making the kitty blue calico.

I took this picture of it around my petunias.

Last year Prairie dogs came in my yard and ate every blossom,

I do not like prairie dogs anymore!!!

I caught them in the act too! 

Here is one of my cats....Froy. He is looking very snooty (as my daughter says....per usual).

He is annoyed with me because I was trying to take a pic when he was eating catnip.

We have some on our outdoor table....the cats love coming up and nibbling. 

This is his attitude for sure.

Animals sure do have different personalities.

This is what he looks like most of the time....confident and happy.

Have a 

Fabulous

Weekend!

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

Congrats graduates...fun idea!

Can you believe it is already time for this year's graduates to graduate?

Seems like this spring has went really fast.

Are you needing an idea on how to decorate for the big Graduation party?

For this easy project...I used a few supplies...

A Deflecto wet erase board in the stand....

Deflecto's cool and bright markers for chalk boards.

Party streamers 

and tape or glue.  

This is how the sign looks undecorated. 

It is double sided....it looks the same on the back as it does on the front.

I am a big fan of party streamers...

they are sooo inexpensive and easy to get in any color.

I cut a 4 inch piece....then cut three slits longways in the strip. 

I put many colors together and did the same thing to all of them.

You can make this much thicker by adding many more strips.

I just rolled up the non cut end. Glue or tape to secure.

I scrunched up the party streamer ends with my fingers...lightly. 

These markers are so bright and much nicer than colored chalk...

they erase easily with water and paper towel. 

I wrote my message and added the pom pom's to the sign.

Choose your school colors! 

The sign is great all year round....for whatever you want to use it for.

Here I wrote a to-do list.

I can see me using it for funny messages to my daughter....

personalizing it for birthdays....

changing it for all the holidays....

welcoming guests to the party...

Etc...

- - - - - - - - 

Next year my daughter will be the graduate....her colors are orange and black....

wow time flies!

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

Happy Mother's day!

Abe Lincoln said it best....All that I am or hope to be, I owe to my mother.

Happy Mother's day to all Mom's!!!

This is

Me and my mom....with matching dresses! 

She has been gone for 17 years...miss her greatly.

As I have told you before...

My only child was born and my mom died 20 days later....

As one angel came into my life...another left.

I cherish my time with my daughter....she is my everything...so is her daddy, my husband.

My daughter, so small, and her daddy.

I gave my mom the Andy Warhol treatment....lol

Once again

Happy Mother's day!!

Enjoy the little things

Enjoy the little things!

I love squirrels...we have some that visit our yard everyday....they are amazing to watch!

One just figured out how to get in our new birdbath....he is a stinker.

I just don't want that skunk to come back....yikes!

My new punchneedle pattern is complete!

This is Liberty Flag punchneedle. 

It is in my Etsy shop, My patternmart....as a digital download...

And it is also on my website as a printed/mailed pattern.

Celebrate your patriotic side...this punchneedle design is perfect for your home decor! 

What a cute box topper & handy to store little supplies or treats. This punches up fast & is very easy. The banner says "Liberty".  The box is paper mache (1 Dollar at jo ann fabrics)...easy to make it look old. 

Finished punched design measures: 3" x 3 

I love how it looks with supplies inside the box.

All week my husband has had a cold...feels like I am starting to get it...boo!!

Guess I will get through it...haha.

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

Rosie outlook...floral surface pattern design

I have been designing some floral repeating patterns....which I intend to submit to a fabric company.

It is also great for other products...and I love practicing...which is very important.

Above are some hexagons....they are each the same design...just in a different color combination.

Which do you like best?

These larger images will give you a better idea of the actual pattern design.

This pink and red was the original.

This one is alittle strange....but I had to see it it in orange.

It is really fun changing up the colors.

These next two should be bluer...something changed when I converted the file.

Super bright yellow!

I llike this one alot.

More yellow ...this time with some pink.

Next I gave it some browns....kind of earthy.

I really like this one for some reason.

Green!

Green and black.

Here are the earthy ones in a hexagon formation.

As you can see....it is fun to play with.

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

I will have to now make some designs to go with these.

If you have a favorite....please tell me in the comment section...

I would love to hear from you!!!
