I have been working on hand towels for an upcoming show at a rodeo and love this design. I am wondering what you think of the color combinations. Do you like the 2 color (pink and white) or the multi color ones? I only have black towels in at the momen
Well, I won"t be able to do any crafting for the next 3 months or so, and it's not warm enough to do gardening yet (it's below freezing today here in western Canada). Why? Well, I had to get my pinky finger joint on my right hand fused yesterday. I
200 wedding favors done! It took me a couple of weeks to get them all stitched and my lovely granddaughter came over yesterday and put all the snaps on for me while we had a lovely visit. I still need to put the key rings on, but I'll save those for my
So this isn't entirely embroidery related, just wanted to brag a bit. If you've ever heard of Weird Al Yankovic he's currently on tour and was in our city last weekend. In one of his sets he invites local costumers from the 501st Legion to join him in
Hi ladies! It's been a long time since I've posted anything, so I decided to give you all a chuckle with my latest adventures. So.... How can a simple job like recaulking the bathtub leave you feeling like you've just gone 10 rounds with Evande
Just a note to everyone that although I do not comment on a lot of the beautiful projects and designs everyone is working on, I faithfully look through them when I have time. I wish I had time to give everyone double flowers for all their hard work and c
Here's a picture of the smoke from forest fires 600 km (375 miles) to the north of me. It is so bad that I have to stay in and work on projects (Boo Hoo :-) Now if I only had my embroidery machine back from the 'hospital' it would be even better. H
Arrrghhhh! Suffering withdrawal symptoms . Have made more than 2000 fobs/zipper pulls in the last 4 months and wore my machine out! Poor baby is in the shop and may be gone for up to a month! What am I to do with all this time I have on my hands? Hmmm, ga
Cat backside keychains. Another 230 key chains done. Most will be donated to animal shelters so they can raise funds for needed equipment. Vida
700 zipper pulls finished! Wow, what a large project. I did not realize how many I had made until this morning. Most of these zip pulls are destined for the children's cancer clinic, but a few will go to my grandson's classmates and I will hold a few
How Many? I designed this up for my niece, who is a teacher. She has many children who face learning challenges and I thought this might help. She picked it up today and was so excited! She was going to take it home and play with it herself. She is g
Here's a pic of hubby modelling his 'chemo' shirt. I cut open the sleeve of a sweat shirt and attached binding so I could put snaps up the sleeve. This works really well when he goes for treatment as the nurses can just snap open the shirt to expose
My new "plant"! What kind of seeds do you plant to grow kitties? I tried wintering over a diplodenia and grew a Boo instead :-) Boo is growing into a very loving and kneedy kitty. He loves attention, cuddles and pets. He is still gett
Cat butt key chains. I had so much fun making the shamrock key chains, I decided to try my own hand at making a pattern. I saw a crochet pattern for a cat butt mug rug, so took that picture and drew my own. You can't see it clearly in the picture, bu
100 Shamrock keychains finished. The pattern is from The Bean Stitch. I decided to make as many as I could from a spare piece of vinyl and managed to squeak out 100 of them. Will give a few away to the coffee ladies and friends. The rest will go to th
