Happy Halloween 2019.........

stop by to see me Saturday Nov. 2.........

A few things iI will have at the Christmas Market at MY Church ( Bethany First Church) this coming saturday,  along with other talented folks......hope to see you then!!!!

Hope you all have a great week.........Happy Monday!

what started as a banner but.......

Here are my Noodle and Lou embroidered girls........I started out thinking I would make them into a banner but it just didn't work out......they are backed  in pale pink linen and made them so they could easily turn them into pillows later.  For now they are up and I will keep them there for a bit......not so focused photo but they are up high and that is the best I could do with my phone.......

 

 

On another note have you tried this Pumpkin Cream Cheese............I am usually not one for flavored food like this but I got some to try and I am hooked....so so good and not to strong and sweet.  I don't know who all carries this but if you see it and you are a big cream cheese and bagel fan you will love it.......

 

Happy Wednesday........

let's start tuesday right......friends/food/friendships

 

Seems like once in a while the ole computer decides to play tricks on this old lady.........it's so frustrating to someone (ME) and try to figure out since I am so technically savvy!!! Oh well it's back running correctly.

 Thanks to each of you 5 gals for helping me because without you I could not of pulled this one off......so nice to know that you have friends who will take a day and come help with my crazy ideas so thank you thank you thank you.........it was a fun day seeing all who came. 

 

monday gathering thoughts.......

Something is going on with my typepad account and I am really frustrated,  so as soon as I can get it figured out I will be posting photos from my weekend entertaining........grrrrrrrr!

it's a fall tuesday in okc...........

Just stopping in to say Hi from all my FRAYED friends on this Tuesday October 15, 2019..........have a great day!

Happy Birthday Miss PC.........

Wishing this sweet lady a Super Happy Birthday today.........one of the most selfless people I know.  She is kind, thoughtful, talented, beautiful in and out and would do anything for you.  I was one of the lucky ones to call her my BOSS.  The best 12 years on the job and had all the fun anyone could have.  Thank You Cindy for being you and Happy Birthday and more fun times to come. Miss and love you from all your OKCPC gals and myself...........

 

nov. and dec. calendar.......

Once again I will be a vendor at our Church's Christmas Market.............Nov. 2 from 9-3 Hope to see familiar faces.  They have cut back on vendors this year so it won't be as spread out ...should be a fun day!

Nov. 17 I will be teaching in Waco at the Paper Crown for the Christmas Journal 2019 from 1:00-4:00

On Monday November 18 we will be making the Sacred Heart from 11:00-2:00

You can call the Paper Crown to register for the classes....254-224-7436.  I always enjoy teaching at the Paper Crown and hope to see some familiar faces and new ones........

 

December is one of those months I don't even like to schedule classes but several have asked for a Christmas Journal.....so here is what I have. 

Tuesday December 3 we will be making this Christmas Journal ..........5:30-9:00

Thursday December 5......6:00-8:30 we will be making this sacred heart ( I will have other images to pick from)

 

Hopefully there will be enough interest this late in the season. December is always so busy but I am gonna give it a whirl anyway..... Hope you all can either come to 1 or both.  To sign up please email me at jpeter@cox.net. and I will give you the details...... Seating is limited so I will cut it off when it is full.......

 

Thank You so much for always being so attentive to my blog .  I know I am so old school and no one ever checks blogs anymore.  Social media is so in control of our lives and how we connect so if you're reading this Thank You. I will continue to blog as long as I have those who still look..........

Have a great Wednesday........
 

those velvet scraps..........

All those little pieces of precious velvet scraps and what to do with them.......well here is something you might like to try.  I used ribbon for the backing just to be able and have something for the velvet scraps to adhere to when sewing.......just run a stitch down the middle and over lap each piece of velvet....... make them as long or as short as you need.........for these I just sewed them on the flap of these frayed purses......

please don't throw away all those wonderful velvet scraps!!!!!

tomorrow I promise to have the class dates for you and where I will have my things to sell the first weekend in November.......

 

have a great day creating.......

happy weekend.........

I hope this fall weekend has you busy doing what we all do in the Fall......enjoying some wonderful weather and the last of our Summer Blooms......these popped up last week and I just had to cut them and bring them indoors to enjoy!

 

Hope you all are enjoying your saturday..............
