I'm not needy ...cat quote of the week

Here is my baby... Froy...posing for a pic! He is usually too snooty to pose. He is pampered and it drives my daughter nuts....but she doesn't get how much I pamper her! Sibling rivalry.

I love this cat quote of the week!

Here is a great quote to think about:

People tend to be generous when sharing their nonsense, fear, and ignorance. And while they seem quite eager to feed you their negativity, please remember that sometimes the diet we need to be on is a spiritual and emotional one. Be cautious with what you feed your mind and soul. Fuel yourself with positivity and let that fuel propel you into positive action.

Thrifting .... for gold!

Last week during spring break ...my daughter and I went to visit my sis ...and we had a blast thrifting and antiquing.

The thrill of the hunt....so intoxicating!

Above are some awesome vintage ribbon roses.

One booth had nothing but sewing items...I was in HEAVEN.

There were cool buttons, laces, velvet leaves...so many goodies.

A thrift store had this bag of felt...it is huge with every color I will ever need.

This just cracked me up...someone saved old butter containers....I remember these as a kid...it brought back the memories....had to have it.

Imperial butter.....and so cute too!

This is a vintage box of shoe buttons...they will make great eyes on softies.

This box is chuck full...yay.

I love old ledger booklets

I especially love the writing in it

Yes...I can never pass up pom poms with strings

Red bags of buttons and red velvet hearts....oh my!

Someone cut out phrases for old cards...love that!

More buttons for 98 cents....can't beat that.

This bright yellow bucket tote came from the dollar tree....comes indifferent shapes and colors...I think they will go fast. I put some of my finds in it for now.

I got french thread....dirt cheap....20cents

I always collect salt and pepper shakers for my mini mannequin pattern....they make a perfect base.

Plus I got some lovely pink fabric too.

I am going to share the rest of my finds with the Create it club members...since some of the items will be featured in the newsletter.

Spring has finally come...freebie design

Finally the air is warmer....birds are going crazy....flowers are blooming....looks like

Spring is finally here!

Feel free to use this design to stitch up a little pillow shelf tuck! Would also look adorable in a Raggedy Ann doll's hand!

Duck tape Prom Dress & other creations

My daughter Selina (15 yrs old) has been creating again!

She has made all kinds of other things with duck tape...bags, backpacks, rings, wallets, pens...etc...

Now she has whipped up two prom dresses!

She is entering them in a duck tape contest.

Here she used...black, white, and zebra duck tape.

She sketched out a design and before I knew it...she came out with this!!!

I love the flowers on the top!

Here is her first dress...blue and purple....with a longer skirt in the back.

She has a way of just going for it! She finds a way to make it happen!

Here she is with "Flo" the mannequin....Flo was named after the progressive lady on commercials.

I love her creations!

Last night while I was blogging...she paints this up with my fathers old paint and body shop paper.

She didn't sketch or plan it...she just started painting....so cool!

Yes...It is Katy Perry....one of her favs.

The proud painter!

The proud painter with attitude!

Here is Tom Hanks for her daddy...his fav

Now the painting is hung up in her bedroom...by pink duck tape...go figure....lol

I am so proud of her!!!

Go to her shop Peacock Gumdrop...to check out her Photography!

My hubby in 1st grade

Had to share this super cute pic of my hubby...when he was just a lil 1st grader! My mother-in-law and sister-in-law are going through old boxes and found some old pics...so much fun to see them.

He still has this naughty smile and big brown eyes!

Love this inspirational quote:

Finding happiness should not be seen as finding a needle in a haystack. Happiness is within. Each day is a blessing that brings an abundance of happiness. Therefore, finding happiness should be like finding a gift in a stack of gifts.
