A Little Farmhouse

Hello everyone!!!
Hope you are all having a good summer so far.
Many of you who know me know that I do a little bit
of everything craft wise.
I have taken my vinyl to another level and am heat
pressing vinyl on canvas and framing it. Header picture.

Before I get into the other vinyl picture let me tell you
about the month of June in my life. With our Boxer
depressed we were looking to find another dog so that
she would have a buddy. In all reality I was not ready
for that especially since I would be the one responsible
to train it. My husband put the word out that we were
looking for something smaller than a pitbull. He decided
we needed something like a Jack Russell or a rat terrier.
My sister-in-law found a Manchester Terrier at the animal
shelter she volunteers at. So now we have this seven month
old pup who loves to test me and I really don't think that
our Boxer cares to have it here. I will get a picture of him
downloaded soon.
On to my next project.

In the picture above I used 651 vinyl on painted wooden
blocks. I have so many other ideas as to use my vinyl on,
so stay tuned.
Thank you for stopping by. Until next time stay safe and
create on.

Not sew paper

Hello everyone! Hope that you all have been crafting
away. Wish I could say that I have been doing the same.

April brought a job change for my husband and it also
changed pay day. We went from being paid twice a month
to getting paid every week so I had to get my act together
and figure out how to pay all the bills. So as not to think
to much I went back to my old of making floral arrangements.
The pictures that you see are a couple of arrangements that
I made using the wooden embroidery hoops.

The one in the header picture and the second picture are
about a eight inch hoop. The last picture is and
arrangement done on a sixteen inch hoop.
I got lost in the month of May we had a family member
that was ill and passed away. Not really expected because
he was doing pretty well after bypass surgery.
A couple of weeks later I had to put my pitbull down. We
had him in our lives for nine years. That was a little hard
for me since Diesel was there for me when I had my close
call with death when my gallbladder had burst. He was
there for me when my appendix got a tare and another
emergency surgery for me.
After Diesel was gone our Boxer went into a depression
and she had to be taken to the vets so I had to nurse her
back to health. I was so glad when May ended hoping
the June would bring better things.
I will tell you about my month of June in my next post.
I have to sit here and laugh because I have always said
if it weren't for bad luck I'd have no luck at all.
I know that I had promised that I would be blogging
but no more promises because it looks like life just
doesn't allow me to keep my promises.
Have a great evening. Hope to have more for you
soon. Thank you for stopping by.
