One Hump or Two? and An Announcement

Ahh, Just One!

Well, I have been working on this little

cutie.

Love those lips and her painted toes.

 

I am working Sophie the Squirrel.

The little antlers make

me laugh.

 

 



 

 

Brooke Nolan has these

cross-stitch patterns that

are free of charge.  I omitted

the number on the patterns.

 

If you recall, I am going to make them into

cute little ornaments.

Like these furry friends.

 

 

I best get busy because I am super

behind.

 

Sew, I bet you wondering

What is the BIG ANNOUNCEMENT?

 

It will be my 3rd blogging anniversary in March.

Yes, third and guess what?

 

I am going to have a great line-up

of sponsored giveaways,

like some pretty threads,

fabric, supplies,

and a little home décor/thread holder.

 & Lots of fun.

Sew Looking forward to it!!!

Eclectic Elements Blog Hop

 Welcome to my

stop on the Eclectic Elements Blog Hop.

 

I absolutely love the work that

Tim Holtz does. 

All the fun scrap booking elements

and of course this great fabric.

 

Since the fabric I found,

 definitely looks guyish,

I decided to make

a shaving travel bag.

 

 

Love both prints.

A fun and functional project.

(I am still working on the pattern)

I also bought myself an Accuquilt

Isosceles Triangle die

and it showed up a few days ago.

 



I didn't have time to finish up a

whole project,

but I was totally enjoying

playing with the fabrics and

the new die.

Accuquilt does have a bunch of

their dies on sale.

 



 

Not sure exactly what the plan

is for this.

I might have to whip up a

fun pillow for one of my fellas.

Or it might end up as a lap quit.

Who knows..

 

Go check out the other hoppers.

What Glitters?

Did you ever wonder

what would happen if

you let a teenager loose

with Mod Podge

and some glitter?

 





Aren't they so much fun?

I can always use a little glitter

in my life.

 

I bought some wood letters,

spray painted them,

and gave my teen the go ahead.

With a coat of Mod Podge,

and the sparkly stuff,

she created these.

 



 

I love the bling. 

"SEW" Pretty
I guess being a little daring
paid off.

We Support You Hop

Welcome to my day of the

We Support You Hop.

I personally have had someone
very close to me have cancer,

 in just a few days

it is the 10th anniversary of my

Grandmother's last day of battling lung cancer.
I pray that there will be a
cure.

I thought a lot about this

hop and how I could represent

my grandmother.  

She was an absolute gem 

and dearly miss being able to talk to her

face to face. 

My grandmother never had a clothes dryer,

while I was growing up. 

So, all of her clothes were hanging

out on the line in the summer breeze.

Even her unmentionables.

I never recalled grandma

having a number like this on

the line, but she would have

laughed at it.
And probably would have said, "Oh, my."



I had to add more on that

line.



I lost an uncle a few years

after my grandmother to the

same disease.

So, to represent all the

fellas out there that are fighting for their

life, I added a little pair of boxers to

the line.



I thought I would show you just how

small the little bra and undies are.

I took the pattern and made it

25% of the original.



I used Aurifil 12 wt. thread

to crochet lace around both the undies

and the bra.  It worked perfectly around the

edge.

Go and check out the others

who are there to offer their support.
