new Okie pattern........

Do you remember the Letter Jackets guys wore years ago and maybe they still do for the sport they played.......well this is an updated version of those old letter jackets (in denim) and I will call them Letter Jacket Patterns.........I have been working on these since I have been trying to recoup ..........I have letters but not really thrilled with the colors so I am going back to the drawing board and redo ........and hopefully show those to you all soon....but for now here is the Okie and if anyone is interested in the pattern you can contact me at [email protected].......

 

These photos below are just to show you what they look like on dark and light denim on the front or back of the jacket............

Enjoy this thursday Feb. 27 2020......... 

I'm back......

Hopefully I am back and ready to get these classes up and samples completed........Sorry for the delay. With some health issues that came up last week it sorta knocked me for a loop but I am feeling better and my energy level is coming back so if you all will hang on a little longer I promise to have some dates and photos soon........but for now I will show you these two photos of what is to come...........

 

Happy Tuesday all

Happy Valentine's Day.........

Wishing you all a Happy Valentine's Day and holiday weekend.............love to all!!!!!!

doodling girls...........

If you love to draw circles and lines you can make some fun doodling art.........really that is all it is......circles and lines!  And a few hearts here and there......most of the time it's all free hand but I do use different size circle's if I want a perfect one, using lids, coasters or anything that I can find......I keep a ruler or straight edge also around if I want straight lines but most of the time I just wing it.......since it is doodling ...........This class is next Tuesday night from 6:00-8:30 ........these girls will hopefully have fun coming up with their own version of doodling. I will show them what I do but want them to come up with some of their own doodling.....it is really one of the most relaxing things I can think of doing when I just want to sit and not think about a thing........there are no rules it's just a free hand with pen and paper............So all you gals who have signed up just come Tuesday night for a fun and relaxing time!

happy weekend........

Hope you all are enjoying the beautiful February weekend..........HaPPY weEkenD.............

snow day.............

They got it right this time and did it ever snow and is still coming down this morning...........

Thanks to my friend and super helper Nan for taking these photos..........

I always say I have some of the sweetest people who take the time out of their lives to take one of my classes ...... I so appreciate each and everyone who has ever signed up to take one.....I love teaching and I love that you all are so creative ..........The sweet lady on the left is a very dear friend and someone who I have known for 35 years and has taken good care of my teeth....she is now a retired dental hygienist and boy do I miss her.........thanks for coming Harolene........the next lady is Cindy Miller and another one of those gals you love to be around. Shes's funny, sweet and has the most hilarious stories she tells.... She took classes at the Paper Crown and attended our retreats. When a family member needed her help she moved .....we sure did miss her  but hopefully now we get to see her a little more . Thanks Cindy for coming all the way from Muskogee Oklahoma. And all of you know another Paper Crown gals Nancy .......she is always around to help out and a great one to travel with.....very talented, now retired and a new Grandmother.....Thank You Nancy for being such a great friend all these years......The next gal I met through the drive thru window at my local Bank...... Her name is Jill.........when I first started going to her window  we hit it off right away..... she LOVES Santa Barbara just like I do and alot of other things.....and she is the fastest teller the bank has........Thank You Jill for coming and for the photo below........

She went home last night and finished the inner red heart and sent this photo..........

I love it when a student is so excited to learn something new and creative , then can't wait to get home and work and finish what they had started in class.....Thank You.

 I can't believe I didn't get my little helper Nan'S photo because without her here last night we wouldn't have photos.......so thank you dear friend for just coming and hanging out with us and lending a hand as always.........your the best!

Well I think that covers it for today Wednesday Feb. 5 with 3-5 '' of snow on the ground...........a great day to stay in by the fireplace and make something creative............

Tea Time in the Spring Time and Mother's Day................

 

The upcoming Mother's Day class will be sometime in the Spring , this is an all day stitch project..........more details later on .........just thought you would like to see what I have been working on and hopefully the samples soon........

 

 

This second one is a beginner embroidery class but anyone can join in on the fun..........I associate spring and tea together so this is why I have combined the tea cup with the flowers and bird perched inside the cup......I know these photos are full of pins and looks like one big mess but haven't had time to finish the stitching......you will learn several different stitches and we are using some felt, velvet, quilting fabric and ribbon................

Well I think that is it for today.........see all you girls tonight in the beginner punch needle class............Happy Tuesday because tomorrow it's suppose to snow and it will not be Happy around here..........oh well they have missed the last 3 times we were to have some snowy cold weather and I hope they miss this one toooooooooo!!!!!

bath TiMe..........

Have you ever received a gift and had questions if you would really like or enjoy the gift..........Well I am here to tell you about a gift I received for Christmas and absolutely LOVE it. Have already had to buy more........this Dr. Teal's soaking salts are my favorite!  I have also given it for gifts to a few friends........what is so amazing is you can buy it at Target or Bed Bath and Beyond and I am sure other places and it's very affordable.  You can really soak up all the good stuff and just watch the salts kinda foam up and float on the surface.....If you are a bathtub person or not try it, you may become one.....

 

Happy SUNDAY.............it is absolutely BEAUTIFUL here in Oklahoma!  Suppose to be 74 today........and this is February!!!!!
