More Wacky Snowy Weather

After the first snow we got a little more.  Very odd and unusual but sort of exciting.  This morning the sun came up over the hills with lots of snow still showing.  Lots of clouds but the sun is shining now.

SnowySunrise I had hoped to add more photos from Tina’s Twisted Wire Ranch but she and Kendall couldn’t get to the studio again yesterday.  Let’s hope Monday will work as we need to load up Lucy to head to San Mateo and the Bay Area Quilt, Craft and Sewing Show!  Visit www.RustyBarn.com for more information.

SnowOnThe Deck  My foot prints on the deck as I walked out to take the photo of the sunrise.  Still lots of snow.  Mr. Kitty, my outdoor rescue kitty, is quite confused about all this stuff.  We will add more photos when Tina and Kendall come to work next week.

    Beautiful.

    We lived in Pleasanton for 4 years. I loved going to the teddy bear and doll shows. There isn't anything here - my greatest joy is going to our Jo-Ann's. At the end of March we are getting a Hobby Lobby which, I hear, is a great craft store. But nothing for the teddy bear artist/collector.

    Happy Weekend

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 de...

Designing by Candle Light

Here is my new mode of designing – by candle light! A power outage for many hours in the middle of the night to late morning.  I gathered some nice brass candle sticks and got to work…..I’m an early bird!  When the sun began to rise over Clear Lake I was able to snap a picture. Not recommended for long sessions of thinking and drawing but OK at the time!   Got a couple of ideas down on paper to finalize and get stitching for the arrival of our new fabrics….they are due to arrive in December some time – YAY. Oh, by the way….remember our RedWork SALE continues today and is over tomorrow. Visit the RedWork Category and pick your BBD Pattern and make your RedWork Challenge design.  Enjoy some quality Embroidery time!
