Coffee time- Freebie Friday & more

It's freebie Friday once again....today I thought a big cup of coffee was in order.  Sometimes the coffee feels like it has love in it...it is so good.  This would make a terrific wool pin to give to a coffee fiend!

Here are some new digtal signs I have just put on  Etsy.  This is a saying from Gone with the wind!

I love sayings that make you think.

Oh yeah...I love pink! 

Have you ever Danced yourself silly.....I have...it is so fun!

Here is a great sign for the sewing room or studio.

This saying comes from a great movie...."Hairspray"....Christopher walken says it to Edna (John Travolta...who I sat close to in a play in Idaho!)  I love this saying.....it is terrifically inspiring!

Have a great weekend!

Come join the party at Whipperberry

Embellishments....everywhere!

Hi everyone!  This is my organized mess...near my glue gun.....it is lots of embellishments to add to any project.  I got one of those old printer/stamp trays at goodwill but i thought it was a shadow box for collectibles.  I first painted it pink...but pink was not always good for my shows (cause I like to sell small goodies from this tray). I then painted it cream so it would be more versatile.

Old jewelry...ya know sometimes ya break a piece or lose one earring.....plus sometimes at thrift stores

you can get a whole bag for a few dollars.  Old jewelry makes great embellishments.

I love buttons....here it is only some brass ones.  Brass or gold buttons add a regal quality to a project.

Here are bits and snippits....of things. 

I like old domino's, old glasses (glue/decoupage a pic on the back), barrettes, scissors, and dice.

I have glitter Eiffel towers...old measuring tapes to cut up, corsage pins, felt flowers and lil banners.

I love making these....I have created lots of patterns with these in mind....fun fun fun!

This is a lil flower hair pin I made...go to make it and love it for a great tutorial ....love her site!

I like to glam up my business cards with seam binding or fancy yarn.   I tell ya...Vista print does great business cards and other printing....very cheaply.

Here is something I made up myself....my info on long strips of brown cardstock.....with fancy pink yarn. These are 7" long...fairly large.

 It is fun to tuck these in the mail with an order.  It would also be great at a show. 

See you tomorrow for freebie friday!

Easter Parade

This is a cute Easter Treasury on Etsy!  Love these eggs!

Oh boy....these are adorable!  It is a pdf pattern....wish I could crochet better. I may have to take a class...I can crochet some bowls...that's it.

Yummy bunny....I love how he is jumping.

Sweet and simple

Eggs are so beautiful

Sweet bunny pillow.

These are such cute egg warmers....fun!

There are lots of fun treasuries on Etsy....just go to the home page of Etsy and pick handpicked items.....then you will see all the latest treasuries....of all subjects.

Monday show and tell

I had a nice weekend shopping with my 2 sisters and daughter.  We mainly went to antique stores....so many here us Spokane Wa...so fun too!   I got this lovely old pre-plastic pink bowl....I can use it for holding all kinds of goodies...but right now I want to put Easter candy in it.

I wanted to have some kind of filler in the bowl,  I tried shredded book pages .....yuck.

I then tried shredded pink crinkly paper.  It is ok...cause cadbury eggs make everything better!

I tried green crinkly paper....not my fav.

Then in all my junk I found pink easter grass.....it is good! I just love pink!

Later this week I will have more to show you with antiques.

I made some butterfly hairpins and rolled flower pins.  A rolled flower tutorial can be found HERE.  There are many on the internet....free!  Just do a google search.  It is easy and uses up your scraps of wool or felt.  I started making all kinds of them...sort of addicting.  Check out this http://www.makeit-loveit.com/2011/03/baby-hair-accessories-wool-felt.html  as well.

Let's face it...you could easy make up hair pins for every outfit.

This is what they look like on the back.

Here is what my butterfly hairpins look like on the back.

The butterfly pattern is in this new terrific book by Tone Finnanger...called Tilda's studio.  Her website is Tilda's world.  I got my copy at Jo Ann fabrics.  This book is just filled with fun goodies...I really love this book!

Here is a peek in her book.....with flowers and butterflys.  She has other fabulous books too... she has a fresh feminine look.  Well I better get back to work....so much to do! 

Let's dream!

Every great dream begins with a dreamer. Always remember, you have within you the strength, the patience, and the passion to reach for the stars to change the world.

Harriet Tubman

What a wonderful woman....so inspirational!

Time to Organize those totes!

This SET OF 12 TAGS FOR LABELING YOUR storage boxes...you print and cut out, sooooo easy. I have many totes and boxes to store my holidays decorations and other important items that I need to store rather than keep out. These are a perfect way to clearly label your boxes...and they look good too! Pack away your old bills, books, old receipts, and baby clothes/toys/mementos. You can also use them for each holiday as part of your decor. These are on ETSY

There are the following: Everyday decorations, Bills, Easter, Baby mementos, Books, Receipts, Halloween, Thanksgiving, Christmas, 4 th of July, St. Patricks, and Valentine. They measure: 2 7/16" x 4 3/4".

Label your items....keep better track of your boxes and containers.

Great for holidays.

Here are my Titanic books...I have a whole suitcase full.  I love reading about this subject.

I have way too many totes for holidays and things I want to keep....I am always trying to downsize but I always have the same amount of totes full.  I guess I should stop buying...he he he.

Party O'Animal - freebie friday

Wouldn't this be cute printed out and made into a wearable pin for St. Paddys day?!!!  I will be wearing the green and hanging with my sisters and daughter....probably shopping til we drop.  Looks like the weather will be rainy all weekend here....boo hoo.  My hubby Dana will be watching MARCH Madness.  Go Zags!
