Country Girl Tuesday: Birthday Girl get's more than she asked for!

There is a commercial out now about some guys who go for "any old haircut will do" and get disastrous results. I personally love it when a customer is struggling with what they would like and then I get the go ahead to do "whatever I think is cute". This ETSY customer started out with just wanting a birthday sash with the text you see embroidered...well I just got in burlap sash material (it's all about the burlap for weddings this year!) and immediately thought of this for her sash. Yep I got the green light to surprise her...Man I hope she loves it!

 making closures is sometimes the biggest challenge, but also the funnest YEAH GLUE GUNS and sticky pins!

Thanks for visiting.

Mitten Monday Funday: graduation sashes!

 Here is the newest sash made this week for some happy families who are celebrating graduations from High Schools and Colleges all over the US. 

On a personal note we celebrated with our family here too our daughter in law graduated from Nursing school this weekend and here is a picture of our supportive son and the new nurse!

Education is the most valuable thing anyone can have and I wish everyone the opportunity to get as much as they can anyway they are able, be it through work or on your own you will never regret it.

Thriftshop Thursday: My Ragnar Fix

Oh how I loved the Vikings show this last season...being that I love Nordic designs I thought that this $1.00 number in Ultra Suede was begging for some Norske embroidery designs. Probably the hardest thing to work with as it has really no give to it. Was careful not to pull it in the hoop and did not use any topping so the design did not have to be soaked in water after finishing. Just a hue over the fabric itself in color for some nice impact. Sometimes less is better!
