A Coat For Bear

I made a cute little coat for Buddy Bear last night. I put Grammie Loves Buddy on the pocket with some flowers, I was happy how it turned out it fit him fine, and he loves to get dressed up.

Iron board Cover

I made a new cover over my iron board, used my new ruffle foot, sure went fast. My friend sent me the material, it sure is cute and so is she. Thank you Celeste :-)

Hubby's Surprise

Hubby made me this chalkboard, he surprised me, he made the frame himself, it is rustic and large. At first I thought I am not going to have room for it, I already have several, but it has become my favorite one. It always has a new verse to memorize on it and it is big enough to write comfortably. I love it. 

Pillow Case Curtains

I am excited about these yellow curtains. Here in Washington it is not like Southern California, not a whole lot of sun. I miss that sunshine. On a cloudy day the filtered light comes through my kitchen window and it looks like beautiful sunshine through that yellow material.
I had these vintage pillow cases that had stains on them, so I cut off the needlepoint part and sewed it on my curtains, I made a little skirt under my sink also. So glad I could still use them.

Vintage Aprons

I found these vintage aprons at a estate sale several months ago. They are so cute, I am going to make a pattern from them and then make some new ones from the new vintage 30 prints they make now. I think they are so cute, they just say to me, Biscuits and Gravy Time!! Apple Pie and Ice Cream Time!! I remember my sweet Grandma who loved her kitchen and was such a great homemaker. She cooked everything with love, and her apron dried many of my tears. Aprons are special to me.

Indian Sweet Tea

I am posting about Indian Sweet Milk Tea today, I might be a little behind the times with this, I just found out about it last week.  This new friend was excited to show my hubby and I how to make Indian Milk Tea. I drink tea every day but I had never made it this way. This is what he showed me and it is fun and easy. I really love the taste. Our friend is from Indian so he knows how to make it good.
You get your coffee cup and fill it up twice with water you dump it in a pan get it to a boil, add one teaspoon of loose black tea and while it is boiling you put 3 or 4 cardamon seeds and 4 cloves in a mortar and pestle and grind, put into boiling tea and boil for 2 or 3 minutes. Fill up cup with milk and put in also with boiling tea and spices boil a minute,  add sugar too, then pour through strainer into cup. Enjoy.

The Battle of Athens: An American Story - Restoring the Rule of Law

Hubby and I plan to watch this soon, I just viewed the trailer. America is worth fighting for, we have freedom of speech, freedom of religion, freedom to raise our children in peace. We have never known a tyrannical government here at home, why?? Because men and women over the last 200 years or more have fought, sacrificed and died to preserve that liberty.

Baptism Towel

I am excited about this towel that I made for a baptism at our church. Everyone liked it and so I decided to make some samples for my other friends that attend churches we have been to. The first ones I made I wrote on paper and then stitched over with thread and then washed off. This time I bought some wash away paper at Joann's Fabrics that you print on, it has adhesive and then it washes off. It is very nice to use and makes for a nicer look. It is 9 dollars for five sheets, but with a 40 percent off coupon you can get it cheaper.  The person name and date would go below Baptism Day. 

 I can see someone who has a sewing machine that does lettering and it would be much faster than by hand, but I enjoy handwork. While I am sewing I can pray for the person which is wonderful. You can see that with the paper on before washing it looks more clear, but after washing it changes a little, but still looks wonderful. The paper really helps.  I always wash with a cup of white vinegar and cold water and that sets any thread color mostly become of the red. 

You can find very nice bath towels at WallMart for 2.98 each. 

Tea Tray

This is a pic of my Tea Tray, I put a graphicfairy transfer on it and then painted some pretty roses around. I used the mod podge method where you print your image in a mirror image for letters is needed, and then put face down and let dry, wash off with water and the image ( black ink) is adhered to the wood surface. Make sure your surface is smooth.
