Tina is Feeling Much Better, Thank You

Tina is feeling so much better after a week of sitting and sleeping in my recliner.  I’ve been the sister nurse and she has been a super patient.  Thanks so much for all the well wishes for her….just will take a long time to use that very valuable right arm and hand!

As she was leaving this morning to head out to the ranch, we were greeted by the flock of wild turkeys walking around the neighborhood.  This BIG boy was showing off for the ladies in the flock.  They were not taking much notice of him though!  I was the only lady who ran for her camera to snap a shot.

We never know what creature will be hanging around as we leave the house.  Guess there won’t be so many surprises in downtown Kelseyville but we really don’t know yet – we may still be surprised!

Enjoy your weekend.  The sun is out and it is beautiful here at the lake after our unusually HUGE storm that rolled through the past few days.

    TIna is lucky to have you helping her out, my prayers that she will heal quickly and completely.

    I am happy Tina is feeling better and she has a good nurse. Where exactly is Kelseyville? My husband and I are already daydreaming where we want to retire to eventually and I want to stay in California, we live in SoCal. I think if we moved to Northern California we'd be happy as clams. Is it by Clear Lake? My mom used to live in Healdsburg and I just loved going there.

New Christmas Freebie for you

It is now only 25 days to the BIG Christmas Day.  Whip up a few tea towels or make ornaments with our December Freebie design . I embroidered Santa holding a mini Christmas tree on a Sage Green striped tea towel.  He only took a couple of hours one night to complete.  A hint for you to speed your embroidery.  Thread a crewel embroidery needle for each of the colors in your design.  You won’t always be pulling the thread out and changing color.  This little cutie would make a great ornament too.  Just do the embroidery on muslin and finish in your favorite way.  FUN! I used our handy dandy Transfer-Eze to print the Freebie Santa and finger press on our Dunroven House tea towel.  The Freebie design can be put on your light box to trace directly onto the fabric – BUT – toweling is a little thicker and rougher than muslin.  Using Transfer-Eze solves the problem.  The smooth Transfer-Eze film put on your towel gives you a nice design line to see and a smooth surface to stitch on.  T

Transfer-Eze Embroidery Magic

Lots of us have been having a wonderful time using Transfer-Eze , the NEW water soluble film on paper backing you can use with your printer.  Instead of the tedious task of tracing embroidery designs onto fabric you can print the design on the Transfer-Eze. I printed a snowmen for a new design twice – one for Embroidery and one for Needle Felting on wool fabric.  Just pull the Transfer-Eze film off the paper backing.  To conserve the paper, I cut off one snowman and still have 2/3 of the paper left to print on again later! Dark fabrics are nearly impossible to trace an embroidery design on as the light from your light box doesn’t go through the dark fabric.  Transfer-Eze is just the ticket!   Finger press your printed design on the dark fabric.  I found the Transfer-Eze adhered better to the fabric after the fabric was washed to remove the sizing. The printed design shows beautifully on the film pressed on the dark red fabric. This is going to be EASY to embroider!   Add your hoop
