Good Grief Girdie's blog

Pocketful of Christmas night.........

Well I guess as they say That's a wrap for 2018.........what a fun group of gals and hopefully they went away with a fun project  they can continue to add to over the Holidays........the room was hopefully cozy enough for them!  Trying to make a little space warm and comfortable is a little hard to do but they all just  were glad to  get back together for class........thanks to my helper Susan......she always is willing to help me out in my crazy artsy life! The last pictures we are missing Becky but she had to leave a little early.......and thank you Susan Parnell for coming all the way from Dallas to join us Okie's...

This isn't a permanent space but if it doesn't rent out it will be the "Girdie Classroom" for now!

Thank You again all who signed up for the class and for always inspiring me to keep on teaching.  You all are so special to me and I appreciate your friendships and encouraging words.

Wishing you all a great weekend and Thanksgiving Blessings............xojackie

monday morning..........

My church is having their Annual Christmas Market again this year and I am going to join in on the fun and excitement for our church and all who will be their to sell their goods........always a great way to see members, friends and family to share their talents and gifts.  Stop by and say Hi!

Just a few things I will have for sell..........so grab a friend and come by to do a little shopping and eating to kick off December 2018!

Have a great day........it's white outside here today!!!!!

 

it's fall and cold.........

Our temps dropped last night and so did our pecan tree leaves.......we have 3 big pecan trees and it looks it's raining leaves........

You literally cannot see the driveway or street........I know the neighbors are wondering......

the last photo is the street in front of our house...........HAPPY FALL!

 

happy saturday

DMC floss alert................SALE

 I received a text from a friend last night to tell me the DMC floss was on sale at Joann's Fabric..........although it's not like the sale they have in the spring it's still better than the original price......regular price is 56 a skein, it's on sale for 40 cents a skein........so if you are into embroidery or PUNCH NEEDLE it's worth going and stocking up on the colors you use.

Happy thursday...........

buttons bows bows and more bows........

It's amazing when you find a tub full of odds and ends ........like lace, old fabric, handkerchiefs, pieces of linens, fur and tapestry!  Trying to make something out of STUFF!  A challenge that I love to do once in a while.  I have had these sweet faces on my computer and decided to copy them off  onto muslin and make some pillows!  

Happy Monday..............

thank you.......

Thank You to all those who have signed up for the "Pocketful of Christmas Class".....this class is full and I hope because of all of the blog issues or email issues I haven't missed any of you.  You all have been so understanding and I appreciate you all.......I am hoping to continue to have classes in the new year....... this will be the last one for 2018!  Thank You always for the support and inspiring words to keep me teaching what I love..........

November 1 2018...........

fun group..........

Well to say it all these gals did an amazing job punching for the first time.......definitely takes a  steady hand and patience to get the hang of it..... but once you can get the needle, fabric, hoop and thread all to work together you are on your way to make beautiful art. Thank You girls for making my first OKC Punch Needle class so much fun....looking forward to more classes in the future............

Everyone have a great weekend............
