The Three Bears

Well, here it is!

The Goldilocks and the Three Bears pin!

I even added a bee hive at the bottom!

This was such a fun pin to make! 

Check it out at my shop!

Bye for now!

Everlasting Bouquet

I wanted to put some flowers in this little pitcher,

but didn't want to worry about my kitty getting into them,

and I wanted something that would last.

So I added chenille stems to some crocheted flowers

I'd made, and plopped them in. 

I think I love it!

Might add a few more when I get a chance.

 

Bye for now!

On My Work Table

 Just some pix of my work table this week,

always messy, but in a colorful way.

Also making tiny figures for my next chalet pin,

can you guess what they are for?

I draw them out on fabric 

and carefully cut them out.

 

Bye for now!

Is It a Good Day for a Tea Party?

My latest creation is another fairy tale design, 

this time Alice in Wonderland!

It was a natural to use Alice and the White Rabbit

for a weather house pin,

because you need to know if the weather

will be suitable for a Mad Tea Party!

 

Look for it in my shop!

Bye for now!

What We Wore, Part 2

Here is my daughter's outfit:

She and Grandma did a bit of shopping

over her vacation!

I love her hair this way, so pretty!

 Bye for now!

What We Wore Part 1

Today I'll show you my outfit,

and tomorrow I will show you my daughters

great outfit!

Belt, yellow bracelet and ring: Dots

Purple bracelet and purse: vintage

Come back tomorrow to see my daughters fab fashions!

Bye for now!

Natural Beauty

 Sometimes I forget how pretty hostas can be 

when they bloom!

 I was so thrilled to see this pretty goldfinch

on my clothes line,

let alone get a pic of him!

 And lastly, a shot of the young bunny 

on a cold rainy day.

Bye till Monday!

Shower Curtain Bunting

I found a wonderful vintage shower curtain

a couple of years ago that wasn't usable in the shower

because of damage.

I never had been able to figure out what to do with it,

till I realized I could make it into a bunting.

The plastic material cut very easily.

  

Then I punched holes and sewed 

around the edges with blanket stitch.

Then finally a shell edging.

I just single crocheted across the tops to connect them all

and tada!

I didn't even bother to work in the yarn tails, 

couldn't wait to put it up!

What do you think?

Bye for now!

Visible Monday

Today our dear daughter came home 

from her vacation with the grandparents,

Skirt: handmade

Tee: Old Navy

Belt, ring and bracelets: Dots

Necklace: thrift

Pin and purse: vintage

It's so good to have her back!

Come Home Soon

Here is a face I haven't seen in weeks, 

my darling daughter!

We miss her terribly, but at least I know 

that she is having lots of fun,

hiking and going on helicopter rides!

Can't wait till she comes home though.

 

Thrifty Finds

 Finally got to do some thrifting again,

the pickings have been slim for crafty items lately.

Did find this amazing 70s sewing pattern though,

and a nice hanger I can crochet a cover for.

Just need to get my sewing machine fixed first,

oh well!

Have you found any good thrift finds lately?

Bye for now!

Wordless Wednesday

 Amazing sunset!

Bye for now!

What's on My Work Table

Trying out different layouts for photos.

 Using fabric on paper applique 

to make birthday cards.

 With a little glitter added for good measure!

 Bye for now!

The Windmills of My Mind

 Sorry about the break, but I've been a bit sidetracked

by cleaning  my studio.

And I finished a new style of pin, a windmill!

I've added little windows, a door and some pretty tulips.

Find it in my shop!

Hope everyone has a great week. 

I know that many will be busy with 4th of July this week.

Bye for now!
