A fun blog

Keeper of Cheerios is a great blog to check out. Especially if you have young children. She finds lots of great products & has lots of neat giveaways. Right now she's giving some of my Vinyl Wall Art to one lucky winner. Check it out.

Cutout Owls Giveaway Contest

I made a valentine tree out of twigs I found outside. I spray painted them a champagne color. Yesterday I made some cone decorations for it along with some red owls that I cut out from red card stock & glittered. I have 6 owls you can purchase in my Esty shop. Or post a comment for a chance to win a set of 6. I'll pick a winner on Thursday morning (Jan. 29th). These owls can be used for scrapbooks, cards, or other craft projects.

Fairy wings t-shirt tutorial

Step 1: Choose some fabric & tulle fabric. You won't even need 1/2 a yard of each for this project.
Step 2: Using this pattern (PDF file download), cut out one wing.
Step 3: pin wing to 2 layers of tulle fabric, then sew a zig-zag stitch around the edge.
Step 4: Cut about 1 inch around the tulle following the shape of the wings. I found it's easier to cut the tulle wings out after its been sewn, then before. I had a hard time keeping it lined up evenly when I tried cutting the tulle fabric out before sewing.
Step 5: Pinch the wings in the center & pin.

Step 6: Align the pinched wings to the center top of a t-shirt or tank top. Hand sew the center of the wings to the shirt, along with a few stitches at the top of each side of the wings to hold them in place.

Step 7: Add a flower, heart, or embellishment to the center of the wings. If you don't like the flower Idea, you can just use a rectangle piece of fabric, as shown in the sample below.

I think it would be fun to make some bumble bee wings on a yellow & black striped shirt, or use some red & black polk-a-dot fabric to make some lady bug wings. Be creative! My kids LOVE their winged shirts. For best results, hand wash.

Step 8: Add a matching embellishment to the front, if you like.

3. I'm a picky eater. I don't like potatoes, salad dressing, or most sauces.
4. I love being silly.

A Healthy New Year

I designed a few of the Healthy Diet Charts for Kim a few years ago. I just picked up a copy of the little girls chart at Harmons in the Healthy Living Solutions Dept. for my daughter. I hope it helps her want to make healthy choices. If you don't live near a Harmons Grocery store, you can purchase some online at Healthy World Project. Check it out there's one for everyone. You can find fun & Healthy Recipes on Kim's website as well.

Valentines Day is my favorite! Here are 2 digital kits I designed. They are available at twopeasinabucket.com.This first one is a 99 cent kit. It includes the above card design in 2 printable sizes.
