Kona Cotton, Sharpies, and Rubbing Alcohol Adventures

Happy Friday to all,
This past week Miss Morgan and I did a lot of creating... We used this technique on a t-shirt and Kona Cotton too...

 

 

 

This is Morgan adding rubbing alcohol and the last photo is her finished project....

I know I shared about painting on Kona Cotton but alas these pictures will be posted

in January's Kona Cotton bloghop...

Hope everyone is enjoying the last few days of fall...as winter is nearly here...

Hugs and Peace unto all

New Directions

Good Morning,
Some how some way... things keep changing in my life...  I have a new part time job and also have an on-line store.  My new company is  www.lolas.zhuncity.com.
Zhunrize changes the way people shop and enables new E-Com business owners to become financially independent by creating their own economy. 
I love Zhunrize for giving me the opportunity to support my dreams.  I also feel it truly is a company set up "For the people by the people".  Imagine having a family store where the family shops and the profit goes to the family and not a big company such as  Amazon or Wal-Mart.
Right now this is a soft opening and is a ground floor opportunity...

Please have fun checking out my store and I look forward to hearing what you think... I can also help create this for you too! 
Zhunrize has over 650,000 items and constantly adding more...cell phone services, energy services, travel, home security services too! Many other services are in the works and being added almost monthly..
This is a great company with great potential...

Thank you again for reading my post and sharing my simple joys...
This was heaven sent to me as an answer to my morning prayer...
The angels delivered this to me 90 minutes later.


Hugs and Peace

Just over a year ago.... my life crashed!!!  Totally!!! 
Everything I loved at work...shifted!  Events that followed
just shattered my spirit...  I just could not be and with out
support... I became a failure.  Words truly do not have the ability
to express what I experienced.
I recently asked for information as I was gathering everything to
give to a "life coach"... but both emails were opened and viewed but no response.
So after today... I will do my best not to look back and try to understand...
Why I could not get any help at any level....
Many have listened to my journey only to be left with their jaw wide open...
wondering as I did....
But I know as I go forth... I will be successful, I will find my new calling
and it will  be something that heavenly father will be happy to see.

So just as my front page opening states...
Let each be himself, and not somebody else.
Nor Covet what others hold,
Each one has his place,
That he may best fill...

Thanks for letting me share....
I believe it is time to be the best that I can....
Hugs and Peace unto all

Pin Cushion Swap

This month I received the sweetest country chicken pincushion..... and within minutes he had a name too!  I would like to introduce you all to Checkers...  Isn't he cool.  Well don't let him know but he is going shoppin at Joanne's in a few days cause he needs red head pins to put him to work... SHHHHH

 

Robin was who I was to create for this month. She likes the color teal and her email addy has the word "flower" in it. So I went into my box of favorite fabrics and picked a piece by K.P. Kids & Co. by Kari Pearson for S.S. I.   It is the center fabric.  I also added a few extra treats for fun.

This swap was for two months but if your interested it is still on going.. Contact Bea at  http://www.beaquilter.com/. She has a very nice website and also does machine quilting...
May our week be peaceful  

Happy Thanksgiving to all...

Good Day???
Every day is a good day!!!
Today, I have choosen to change how I will shop this year.... as I am not supporting shopping on Thanksgiving!!!   I choose family over materialism!

I am thankful for all my Heros that are working on this day as they help protect us and help many people in need.  My heros are Paramedics, Firemen, Nurses, Hospital staff members, Doctors and the Police too!
Our family did Thanksgiving last Saturday and it was alot of fun... A beautiful dinner with so many.... Now the best part is Thanksgiving is more than just a family day....
I think it is a great day to invite everyone over.... and that's just what my daughter did!!!   

My Kona cotton has been calling and almost at times screaming....play with me.
Sooo..... next Monday is the big day to start creating...

Don't forget to check on your neighbors too... they may say, "NO" but if they are alone....they may be so happy to just have a plate of food too...  I believe it is a day that we are truly all  just one big happy family on earth...

Hugs

Sunrise....Sunset

I really love Kona Cottons...I love how many colors they have too! This is going to be a sweet bloghop! Oh, and I will be able to use my stash, Circuit, pillow forms and a little of this and that when needed!
 I was able to find my Kona stash in the mix of my stash in a short period of time. I had envisioned days of searching and only finding it after I had ordered what I needed.....lol but not this time!!!!
Here is a picture of the quilt top I made from a swap years gone by.... and also a picture of my stash...

 Then to make it that more special Lorene is sending me a squishy with some of her Kona to add to my creations...  This is just going to be a great adventure!!!  An added bonus will be  my granddaughter  helping to co-creator  a few of these creations....so when can I (we) begin? Is all I can think about but I still have one Halloween project to finish.... so maybe by Friday....    Hugs

Pincushion Swap

Today is a ready, set go, kinda day!!!  Today is 11/12/13...  yeap 1, 2, 3!!!
Recently I signed up for a pin cushions swap... I will be doing this next month too!  I had Bea for the first month and she loves Red, Black and White... Oh my oh me is what I thought. But I was so thankful to have Pinterest to search and see what folks have created with wool, felt, and fleece!
I took zebra fleece and put cute little red flowers and used ground walnuts for the filling. I also saw the cutest Ninja and thought Bea needs a Ninja Quilter to help her when machine quilting. His head has a magnet inside so he can stick to the bars on the quilting machine and cheer Bea on.... It was fun stepping out of my blues, greens, and purples.  I hope they are well used and loved.....

This month Turid had my name....and she made the sweetest pin cushion... it even has sweet hearts right in the center....this sure brightened my day and will be sweet to have in my sewing room.
I also have added the link....just incase you want to play...in two months there will be more openings too.
