BUSY Here at Bird Brain Designs

We are getting ready for our move to downtown Kelseyville and last Monday Tina had some serious surgery to repair a torn rotator cuff on her right shoulder.
She will be more or less out of commission for 6 weeks!
This could make her a little crazy being so confined in a sling contraption to let her shoulder heal…we shall see.

Beautiful and cheerful roses from Kendall,  Tina’s lovely daughter.  Tina declined her photo opportunity!

NEW Shoppe Update

All the painting is completed and two new ceiling fans are up.  We have plenty of light but we needed to stir up the air to keep our big room heated or cooled.  Our 2 beauties, already tested, are working so well!  Sometimes it is the small things that please us so much.

NEW Fans

The carpet team is arriving at 9 am on Monday…more photos after they arrive.  So far so good.

Remember our ALL Website SALE so we have fewer things to move to the Shoppe!  Help us out. 
Save 10% on EVERYTHING.

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...

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 t...
