Play - Freebie Friday stitchery design pattern
Yeah!!! It is FRIDAY!!! I've had alot going on this week...a visit from one of my sisters (we watched Blue Lagoon...one of our teen fav movies), visited my brother's new business adventures, and now its time to redo our bathroom. **Just as a weird sidenote...I am alittle younger than Brooke Shields, but back in the 80's she had sewing patterns...which I loved and I was always sewing a new outfit of hers up. I recently went through an old box of mementos and inside were all the small pamphlets with her newest(back then) patterns on them...it was like stepping into a time machine...I loved it!
This is the Sixth week of an 8 week all Summer long freebie friday event!!!! The theme is Inspiration!!!
Each Friday I will give you a design...like the "Play" design and by the end of 8 weeks you will have some beautiful Embroidery bowl fillers, pillow tucks, or ornaments. You could also use the designs to make other items like wearable pins or small pin cushions.
Take a scrap piece of muslin and trace the PLAY design onto it. I like using a disappearing marker....that disappears when water is applied to it. On my left sidebar is a tip on how to make a lightbox to trace embroidery designs.
Also trace the square around design. Back-stitch your word on muslin in any color you choose. Trim muslin design down....1/4" away from outside square. Remove disappearing marker and let dry. Make into a mini pillow...with a backing and stuff it. One bowl filler is done. These also make great pillow tucks on a shelf. Tell your friends about the all summer long freebie friday!!! The previous weeks were: Dream, Life is good, , relax, Do your best, and Choose joy. Look at the FREEBIES on the right sidebar for them.
These lil pillows are very fast to whip up...so lets get started...I will post mine also....it would be GREAT to see yours too!!!!
Come to the party at....Whipperberry Friday flair...you'll be amazed by all the projects!
Chocolate....gotta have it!
My brother and sister-in-law have bought a new business here in Spokane...The Chocolate Apothecary.
Here is the facebook link
Here they are Vince and Emily Bozzi...he is my big bro. They also own Bozzi media and Spokane Coeur d'Alene magazine. We had some great Sweet Mayan cocoa....after the rain got us good.
We had lots of great samples...I got some chocolate frogs for Selina my daughter and a huge bar of chocolate with potato chips inside.
They have an amazing selection.
Yummy!
We spent a long time selecting.
It is at the Flour mill in downtown Spokane...next to the amazing Spokane river.
Another business venture is having the bottom floor of the Flour mill as an event center...he puts on all kinds of events, now he has a great permanent location
Inside it is huge...reminds me of the Tudors style.
This is my Brother's Magazine: Spokane Coeur D'Alene Magazine
He has always been a guy who went for it and is a risk taker.
He is also goofy and silly too...I still see the young mischief maker that he was as a kid!

Artist Trading cards - tiny pieces of art
I love ATC's! Those 2 1/2" x 3 1/2" pieces of art. I have made alot of them....some watercolored, some with papers and old pics.....some with inks and colored pencils.
They are very portable...and your imagination is the only limit!
I love my witchy girl!
I have used old wallpapers for some....and go my old typewriter out to make a memorable message. Just add papers....draw, paint, glitter....etc....
Inspiration! Stand up for what you believe!
I cover them when they are done with a clear small envelope...made special for these cards.
Each one is like a little treasure.
I have made them for every holiday....since I love holidays sooooo much!
Animals, like cats and dogs are fun. I wish I was alittle better at dogs...gotta practice.
This chick is gonna be the Easter bunny....at all costs!
I must follow this when November comes around.....I always get alittle frazzled.
I love this saying from that old song....so romantic.
If you have not experimented with these little cards...which are at arts and crafts stores....you need to get some and go to town! They come in all kinds of forms....all blank....some are for watercolor or acrylics or drawing....lots to choose from.
