It's fr fr freezing...

Baby, it's cold outside. After an unusually warm start of winter, we are finally feeling the chill! Today's temperatures are a high of 15.

Time to post these cuties that I finished up last weekend. This Raggedy Ann colored cottage is for my sister. She decorates her tree for Valentines in Ann & Andy.


A sweet aqua and pink duo. These colors always remind me of cotton candy.

A new twist on Valentine colors. Red and Aqua really pop.

Two more Valentine cottages in traditional colors and shape.

Happy Valentine's Day..mwahhhh,

Julie

Peppermint Happiness Bluebirds

While I was making Elizabeth's baker's dozen of Peppermint Happiness Bluebirds..I decided to whip up 3 more for the shop.

They do somehow take on their own little personality


And for those who may have been waiting for more glitter cottages, two have been listed and hope to have more made before Christmas.


Believe it or not, Christmas is just around the corner.

Halloween Along

As if you do not know Elizabeth from Creative Breathing but I am following her Halloween Garland Along.
Itchy and Scratchy throat makes for 2 sick days from work. Makes time for some needed creativity.
I found some vintage Offray Halloween craft ribbon in my stash. I ran a double gathering stitch down the center using my sewing machine. It has black owls on it and is so retro. It will be the base for the garland.
I cannot bear to think of all the water I have drank in the last few days. Fluids, fluids, fluids.
Does anyone else do this? I always mark my water bottle with my initial. I do not want cootie germs!!! I do not share drinks or eats and definitely no double dipping. That's odd, the cootie germs got to me anyway :(

Will post the finished Halloween Garland Along when completed and hopefully I will be 100 percent by then.

Sunshine Birdie

A sweet girl I have known since grade school...never really friends. Facebook has brought us together and I now feel I can call her my friend. The internet is an amazing thing...just wish we had connected in school.
Sunshine Birdie has made his way to her home in Tennessee.


She is a Sunshine girl and Sunshine Birdie is now perched on her window sill to remind her of our long distance friendship and hopefully bring a smile to her heart.

May you have made sweet friends in this hectic internet world...
Happy Weekend,

Donation for a good cause -Mrs Kwitty

http://misseskwitty.blogspot.com/2009/10/benefit-for-brother-paul.html

Be sure to stop by Karen's blog and read the story there. She is accepting donations of prizes or cash..anything would be so helpful.

Since the benefit is October 24 I thought this seasonal haunted house would be a suitable donation and help them raise money for her brother and his family.
I hope they raise tons of $ to help the family out.

Bewitching

This little witch is sporting green yarn sneakers and yellow yarn for hair! Holding her broom in one hand and her carved pumpkin in the other. The added embellishments really makes this card pop! Orange vintage lace has been added to the edges and 3 pumpkin charms are dangling at the bottom. Has been added to my LOLLISHOP

I really like this one...I want to keep it for myself
Hope your weekend is beautiful

Danielle's photos look way better than mine! She ordered these 3 cottages from me earlier this month! I luv her style and she is a sweetie. Her boys are super cute to boot. Check out her popular blog.

Glittery Cuppie Cake Ornaments

Don't they just look yummy? I really like these. Small in stature but make a very pretty statement for your tree or use as a package topper! They are 2" x 2" . Hand cut by me from recycled chipboard and they are very light in weight...See no calories...well you would get some fiber anyway;) But seriously not intended for consuming. Please do not try that at home.
