Good Grief Girdie's blog

getting ready.........

I have been a little busy getting ready to teach a couple of classes in Waco at the Paper Crown......counting and making sure you always have the correct amount etc.....not always matches up but if you keep on you will eventually come out okay! At least for now.......40 kits is probably the most I have ever had to do and hopefully I am on the downhill.........80 sheets of shrink plastic with all the patterns of the flowers drawn on.......but I am really looking forward to teaching this fun class and hopefully the gals will enjoy it too......

 

I hope to blog a little bit more now that I am almost complete on this.......

Hope you all are having a wonderful week....thank you to all who text, emailed me and sent cards for my BIG birthday.........I certainly appreciate it all............

 

woody/woodie update..........

A little update on the woody/woodie ( we have seen this in so many car magazines and books spelled two ways) ! So far this is what has been happening since we bought the car in January....long time coming but we are slowly but surely getting there......the upholstery was in horrible condition so we completely stripped out all of the seats and had to find new ones ( or should I say from the scrap yard, old ones that you turn into new looking ones) plus we wanted the drivers seat to be powered and the original seats in these old cars did not have power........we decided that we only wanted a bench seat for the back and split seats in the front so we eliminated the very back seat....these cars are so long and roomie but we would never of used the 3rd seat anyway........hopefully we can get it back next week to the body shop, then paint, it will need  new glass....several of the windows are broken.......Tom has had some of the chrome redone........ new wheels and tires........it's a really long process but will be worth it when we are driving it down the road hopefully by the next couple of months..........

So there you have it .......we are now getting excited......thought we would be able to take it to dinner on my birthday this month but it's not going to happen......

 

hope you all have a great day............

mini jewelry/shrink bags.........

Last year when I was trying to figure out what to put shrink jewelry/etc. in for gifts I decided to make these little bags.......they are quick, wonky, stringy but fun....,not your typical plastic bag or sack.....here are a few more..

 

Class information.......

For those of you who did not get into the first class I am doing a second class .....if you are interested the dates will be either August 26 or the 31.......if you are interested and I have not contacted you please email me at jpeter@cox.net and I will get back to you.......I am waiting on those who were on the list to see how many could make the dates work...so it may be a few days before the date is decided......hope that all makes sense!

 

thank You for checking out this little blog of mine..........happy thursday.........

it did it again.....sorry

???????????? my last post and the photos????????

Hope this photo shows the entire book........I don't know what i going on with out internet/computer/the operator ( me) but we have had some really strange things going on in the technical world at the Peters house in the past week........so hopefully this will show the entire book....if not I will wait a while and try again....so sorry! When I view what I posted the entire photo was their and then when I looked it was cut off on each of them....oh well!

New Class for August...........

It's been a while since I have taught a local class but now that we are settling into retirement I am hoping to have more classes local if it all works out......we are still looking for a permanent place now that both of us would get the use out of a bigger space....there isn't much at the moment but we are keeping our fingers crossed that something will pop up soon.....so hang with me a little longer...

 

Here is the sample of the class. This is a mini journal with some shrink art on the front. The cover is an old quilt with a small addition of some scrap pieces and a little Cathe Holden scrap from one of her Flea Market fabric lines......she always comes up with the best images and I have loved using them through the years ( by the way she now has her fabric lines turned into paper....all of it is amazing) I am waiting for mine that I ordered! Anyway this class will be on Friday August 12 from 1-5.......space is limited . If you are interested please email me at jpeter@cox.net

 

If this class fills up since it is limited I may do a second class if I need to....

 

have a great week

sweet baby.........

Do you remember these dresses from the Christmas Market at my church.....well my dear friend Susan bought the one with the stars/twinkle and vintage ornament for her niece who was expecting a little girl..........last night she sent this darling photo of her sweet great niece wearing this little dress.....

How darling is this sweet baby girl...............Meet Emmy............not only can you dress these babies up for a photo but you can enjoy the dresses hanging up in their room as a keepsake!

I guess I need to make some more .......

 

Come back on Monday and I will have a date and photo of the class I will be teaching here in August..............

busy weekend..........

I don't know about you but it was kind of a busy weekend..........went to a beautiful wedding on Friday evening........saturday met up with a nephew and his girlfriend from California for lunch......did a lot of running around with the now retired husband........did some projects around the house.........stitched and shrunk a bunch of shrinks, even did a little doodling.....cooked a lot of meals and just had a relaxed memorial day..........first time to have Tom around on Memorial Day.........hope you had a relaxed and fun day too.......

I know I am way overdue to have a class, so what I have been thinking is what about class in August........don't know any dates right now or what I will be teaching but if anyone out there is interested in an August class leave me a comment .....if you have any suggestions on what you would like please let me know........by August most people have gone on vacation and it might be a better time .........hope to hear from you!

 

have a great day and week ahead...........
