On my table this morning is yet another Teacher Appreciation Gift!

 Been selling these lately as it IS that time of year to show appreciation for those wonderful teachers. My son has a male teacher this year and I'm going to make him a pencil holder minus the bow. 

I've also got those sunflowers to finish up and working on some Americana as our OFG Team is gearing up for a SUMMER CELEBRATION!!

Just Another Ordinary Day!

Ahhhh, another beautiful day in Paradise although our Paradise is heating up pretty fast! 88 yesterday. That means the 90's are right around the corner!

I was able to go outside and get some wood cut out. 

I was nearing the end of my work when my Sander blew. A big POP and then billowing clouds of smoke came out from underneath the motor along with the sound of mechanical death as the motor ground to a halt. My Porter Cable was supposed to be an investment; something that would last years down the road. I got 2 years out of it.

Well, I'll just set back for a few days and sew.

I'm working on Sunflowers and crows. Also stuffing dolls. I made 2 of them for RAVENWOOD WHIMZIES Doll Challenge. As I stuffed them, I realized one of my legs was a bit bigger than the other. How did I do that? Same pattern but one leg is fat and the other skinny. SIGH....looks like I'll be cutting out another one. Can't wait to clothe them and show you and Wendy. Let's see if my 'great' ideas come to fruition!!

Don't forget about MILDRED! 

I'm giving her away on Monday, April 29th. I've almost completed the 'other' Mildred and will show you her picture on Monday so the winner can make her choice. You can find the link to my MILDRED Giveaway AND my Facebook Mystery Giveaway on my upper right sidebar. DO look at all of the other great Giveaways while you've got a minute. Some great things by some fantastic Artisans.

Hoping your day is sunny and bright and you're not blowing anything up!

I'll have lots more going on this next week as our OFG Team is gearing up for a Summer Celebration.

As my Mama always says, "Hold your Horses" and STAY TUNED!

APRIL 2013 GIVEAWAY! (CLOSED)

I picked up some great patterns at the beginning of the year. A few of them were from Pam Gracia of  SOFT IN THE HEAD. She's a phenomenal soft sculpture artist! Here is one of the patterns I picked up from her.

I actually picked up 2 of these and so I asked her if I could give my 'extra' one away on my blog. Of course, she said 'no problem' so here I am.......Giving away a MILDRED pattern from Pam Gracia......

BUT WAIT.....

why stop there?! 

I made one MILDRED and am almost finished with another.

She's 18" tall, painted with an acrylic wash, and smells of Vanilla and Cinnamon! YUM!

Her eyes are buttons and her whiskers are sisal. Her shawl is stained cheesecloth and she has a stained, vintage handkerchief for her skirt. LOVE HER!!

So I said to myself...."Myself? Why not give a MILDRED away?" Because I can, right?!

RIGHT!!!!

This Giveaway is for a pattern of MILDRED by Pam Gracia

OR

A MILDRED by Vicky Weaver

I made this Mildred with Button eyes but I'm going to make the one I've almost finished with  eyelids as Pam intended on the pattern. I'll show her to you when I get her done so you can CHOOSE which one you like! 

RULES, RULES, RULES.......

1. FOLLOW ME!

2. LEAVE ME A COMMENT

3. SPREAD THE NEWS, HIGH AND LOW, ON FB, TWITTER, YOUR BLOG, MAYBE EVEN A BILL BOARD!!!

3 chances to win the Pattern or Mildred herself!

This Giveaway is open to the US ONLY and will end on Monday, April 29th. I know, I know; I love my Canadian friends but I hate the Postal Rates and she is a BIG GIRL requiring a big box!

Thanks for stopping by!

Stay tuned!
