Annie

This darling owl is made with Minkee that has been textured with Texture Magic™. I stitched the Texture Magic™ with elongated U shapes…to look like feathers.
Annie is waiting for her valentine, Hoot. She is hoping he will join her in time for the Valentine tea!

If you would like your very own Annie and Hoot the pattern in available in my shop.

I love my Clover yo-yo makers, so when I found this cute printable card I just had to embellish it with yo-yos.
I am planning a Valentine tea, and these will be the invitations.

I already have many, many ideas to incorporate Texture Magic into projects but it is so exciting to find brand new patterns, I can’t wait for the new line “Touching the Seasons”.

Touch the Seasons - New Patterns from Texture Magic

These patterns are designed with all the cutting/sewing information to use Texture Magic right in the instructions. The first pattern available will be something special for Easter…with a patriotic design following. Check back for more details, coming soon.

I love finding God in unexpected places. Today I was looking at adorable crafts on several blogs I’d not visited before. I started out at One Pretty Thing which led me to Creative Breathing.  The author has a Gnome penny rug pattern for free (and lots of other great patterns, take some time and look around). I love Gnomes even more than zombies…so I was intrigued about the book that inspired her penny rug. I went to Paula’s Palace of AltAred Art to find out about the book “The Gnome Book of Christmas Crafts”. Paula’s blog has all kinds of lovely gnomeishness, and best of all the book is fabulous. I ordered a copy from Amazon. So after that bit of excitement I began checking out a few of the blogs that were recommended on both the aforementioned blogs. It only stands to reason that if I loved their blogs I would probably find some pretty nifty stuff as I explored.

One of the blogs I found that I simply love is Lallee’s Cottage, you have to check out her etsy shop. I love her cupcakes and I really hope she is going to be adding even more of her creations to her shop…I’ll have to keep taking a peek, so I made her shop a favorite.

Okay, back to the God part; Lallee’s Cottage has a wonderful post about New Year’s resolutions and what she is doing instead of making a list of resolutions. I love the whole concept of WIJIT (pronounced widget), and rather than explain it myself you should read her blog and the blog she references. Trust me, it is worth the trip!
