Happy Saturday Morning!

Well it is a wonderful morning indeed! I am so glad that fall is finally here in Texas....& the heat is gone :)
I did get a few more fans on my new Facebook page YAY! I do have some real friends there.......so I thought I would socialize a little while waking up with my cup of coffee in hand.
Sadly in a few days I will be losing my Flickr Pro account, as at this time I can't afford that luxury. I have a list of things that used to be essential, but are now considered luxuries....(Strange how life is always throwing you curves like that.)
On my list to do today: I have at least 30 prs. of blue jeans to de-construct for my up-cycle projects. I have a Christmas quilt that I cut & started piecing at my sewing workshop on Wed. I have all those pink bags to make for the bank.....laundry....blah blah blah.....& stuff to pack up for tomorrows flea market adventure. My list seems to always exceed my time on hand LOL! Oh yeah, I forgot to mention to list a few more items on Etsy, drag out the UT quilt & see how much more work it needs........transfer some more pics to my fan page, before they disappear from Flickr......a girl's work is never done!
Oh and there is a a video I need to share from one of my newsletters that I receive from Joggles....let's not forget that!

Tell your friends and family, share this on your blogs. (permission to share from Barb in my e-mail)
Today we're playing with Tyvek.  Paint it, add some heat, and be amazed at what happens!  Tyvek is not new, but I find that many people wonder about what to do with it.  Now seemed like a good time to replace the old tutorial that only had still photos with a video where you can see the movement and fun things first hand.  Tyvek and heat play well together so long as you separate them with a pressing sheet or apply heat from a distance and you'll see both in today's video, which you can see here:

And I leave you with 1 of my 1st fabric postcards that I made back in 2007....Have a blessed day!


Pumpkin Pie

Appliqued pumpkin, with stenciled vine. My 1st try at using stencils, & fabric paint. This card was sent to a soldier serving in Iraq, thru Penny" postcard Posse.

Fall Is Upon Us!

Well it has finally started to cool off in Texas!!! YAY!!! This has been the hottest, & driest summer that I can ever remember in my 50+ years. My central air went out this year, so I have been locked away in 1 room of my house all summer, kinda like a hostage....because I have a small window unit in there. Needless to say, the rest of my house looks like a tornado hit it, cause you really couldn't spend much time in any other room all summer long. Well that gave me a chance to do some browsing on the internet, & I stumbled upon a really neat site that has tutorials on just about everything under the sun. The link is http://www.instructables.com since my link button doesn't seem to be working :( I have really gotten some great crafting ideas from there, as well as some organization, & recycled item ideas. Everyone should go check it out. I am still a junk vendor on the weekends at Trader's Village and have been really busy getting rid of stuff that has piled up in my garage, all the closets, ect. & I must say that the flea market bug has really bitten me good.....I just wish they were open on Fri. too instead of just the weekend. You can visit their site here http://tradersvillage.com/ & I am going to take some pictures of my booth & get some posted here, hopefully after this weekend is over. :) Hope everyone has a great week!
