Hello everyone I hope your Valentine's Day has been full of Love!!! Happy Valentine's Day!! This lo was made today I was going to take the boys out to plant the peas...the May peas and the electricity went out, I called around to make sure it wasn't just me...thinking okay did I pay the bill???? So I told the boys start playing with your toys I am gonna make a little something then we will go out after I make sure I haven't left anything on....lol! Well as I began I had no pictures....I couldn't print anything.....okay dig deep the first print I came across was this one of Crystal when she was five in 1995. Just started digging around in a bag of collage goodies and within minutes had this done....then was outside with the warmth of the sun and a warm breeze blowing. The boys and I planted the peas, hung the clothes out and I painted in my journal. What a wonderful Valentine's Day!! Hubby left me a dozen roses and a teddy bear this morning before he left. Love you guys, Cyber Hugs, Dawn Gallop

       Hello Friends,    Hope you all are doing awesome!!! I made this project for the Simon Says Stamp and Show this week for the awesome challenge" Whatever Makes You Happy".  Well you know what alot of things make me happy but one thing that does is sewing..and I have realized that I have not even made many post on things I have sewn....I have tried here lately to include other creations other than scrapbooking. I have never made much effort to include the sewn items..I know in scrapbooking I have included costumes etc. I really do need to share some of them.
       The configuration box is Tim Holtz which they sell at Simon Says Stamp I have been wanting to make one every since CHA. I decided the sewing was perfect for my first one (yeah you know I wanna make more). Sewing truely makes me happy. Love it in everyway. I would make the girls dresses, costumes, and even add lace to their socks.  Now I will quilt blankets, make practicle items (toaster cover, bags, etc.) I even would make my own purses and the girls too. I have really neglected this wonderful enjoyable hobby.
        Things I put into the box are tomato pin cushion I inked to distress using Distress inks. The pins are colored with Copic markers. Vintage items, Melody Ross brad "Homemade", GCD pp, old pattern and Golden gel medium. The lace is vintage. The feet are Tim Holtz, the hinges are unknown I installed them using the Fiskars hand drill. Alcohol inks on the metal embellishments.
         The encaustic piece is another view of my happy sewing side...the GCD Melody Ross sign, the Unity Stamp Company is the chairs.....oh love that stamp. I used staz-on to stamp with.  The flower is Prima. I also wanted to share with you about the pizza oven we have been working on.....can't wait. The boys stamped thier hands in the bottom where the wood will be stored. So exciting!! More pics to come. Hope you have a wonderful inspired day. Cyber Hugs, Dawn Gallop
