Good Grief Girdie's blog

tuesday

A little experimenting on how long this would take to make in a class for the cover of a Mother's Day Journal!  Maybe -maybe not.......I will let you know for sure!

 

Happy Tuesday...........

monday morning.........

These are the little pouch velvet purses with the felt applique and shrink tassels....if anyone is interested to purchase please email me at jpeter@cox.net for all the info.......

hope you all have a great monday and the start of a brand new warmer week......love the sunshine and warmer temps for sure.......

I think some classes are in the near future for April.....just in time for spring and mother's day is what I am thinking......I can hardly wait to start teaching again.....keep checking back for dates and samples.......

day two.....

Working on a project that I hope to fully show you soon.....for now here are a few photos.......while we have been spending so much time at home , and with the past recent weather situation, this is the reason why I have been going through so much thread that I mentioned in my post yesterday.....I have been trying to learn a few new stitches from the Sue Spargo embroidery book and a few other books.....as you can see  besides the stitches I have also added beads, several different kinds of thread, shrink, buttons , silk ribbon, old rick rack, fun ribbon of different sizes, velvet and cotton fabrics all to add a little more dimension.... remember the felt insects I did a while back and had not idea what to do with them....well they found a place in this project!  You will just have to wait and see......

Hope you all are enjoying your Sunday and warmer weather and hopefully ALL the snow is melting..........so glad to be back blogging and sharing some photos and maybe soon I can share what this will be in the future........

Happy Sunday............

 

finally.......

Can you believe this , I think we are up and running once again........keeping my fingers crossed........ the last 3 weeks have been frustrating without any kind of internet .......it's amazing how much though you can get accomplished!  My threads needs to be replenished ......something that I thought would last forever but I have kept busy stitching away.  But at least for today I can post a few photos . We still have one more thing we are waiting on today before we are completely done with all the hoop la we've had to do before this is 100% back to where it needs to be....

So for now this is all I have ............hopefully I can finish this post later today or tomorrow and you will be able to see these shrink tassels on the entire bag!

 

Feels good to show you these photos from 3 weeks ago that I tried to post and it didn't happen......so looking forward to the days ahead we can keep on blogging .........  Thanks so much for your patience 

Hope you all have been well and keeping warm.......this has been a crazy February but the days ahead will be better hopefully! Happy Weekend!

still trouble.

I am truly frustrated with this computer technology stuff.........still no photos will upload and it is about to make me change computers and throw this one away........never have I had this much trouble, even after contacting the cable company, the IT guy at my husbands work ( I was on the phone for 3 hours this morning) plus the typepad people.......so  I apologize that it's been a while since my last posting but hang in there with me, if I don't pull out all of my hair before we get this thing fixed.............

bead doodling......

 

Well here is a little bead doodling.....I have always loved sequins and beads so thought this would be a fun project with this book I have had for some time.....also working on some other beaded projects and may be for purchase for Valentine's Day....hopefully I can get enough photos next week to share......seems like I can only post a couple of photos for each post so we will see....

 

happy weekend......

 

more

A few more photos.................yeah!!!  I'm on a roll.............not really but I am trying a different way to post them! 

 

ribbon embroidery, hearts, felt, velvet and beads

Wow I can finally post some photos from the last two weeks......Don't know what really has happened but it is working right now and I am going for it....

Well that is all it will do today.....maybe more to come tomorrow.....I thought it was going to be user friendly today but at least you know I am still around trying to keep busy on these cold winter days here in Oklahoma America!!!!!

have a great day and if I have success tomorrow I will post more photos....happy thursday

 

 

 

computer internet problems.......

Well it has happened once again.....something is terribly wrong with our internet service and I apologize if you have tried to leave comments....Last week we did some changes and it has thrown everything out of kilter but hopefully in the next couple days it will be corrected and we will be back.......so sorry!

And this is what my hair would look like .......sticking straight up if  I let it every time the computer, phone or tv acts up .........but I am backing away to see if it will correct itself!

 

Have a great day...............

bright and colorful........

Working on these two pieces from the Fresh Cut book..........decided to use colored background and not the black even though I love the black , just thought I would change it up....
