“Piracy–A viable career choice” In today’s world, it’s probably a good backup…kind of a Plan B! Who new these pirates would become such a hit? I think everyone has a bit of pirate in them, or at least knows someone near and dear to their heart that has a bit of pirate…ya gotta love those [...]

“Booty”…I am sure he is meaning a treasure chest filled with jewels and doubloons, don’t you think? Pirates are always looking for booty, after all. I am thinking about another group of designs with a pirate’s raggedy parrot yelling orders, like “Fire his arse!” or “Downsize–just another word for keel-haul” Let me know your thoughts on this!

The colors on this design are just yummy…they remind me of ice cream sherbet. When I was pulling the colors for the project, I just enjoyed holding them in my hand and looking at them, certainly a sign of Spring. The bunnies remind me of a book of my childhood…I don’t even remember the name but it was [...]

These two were so fun to design! I had two of my grandchildren in mind when I worked on these…Ella (age 3) is a girly girl, and Jackson (age 5) is all boy! I also recalled favorite toys from when I was young and added them ALL into these two pieces because I like to [...]

For a while it seemed like these pirate designs took over my entire life…lucky for my sanity, I have a new series coming mid-March featuring angels…but more on that later! I’m not saying that there won’t be more pirates…as you can see here, there are still more in my design file. It’s amazing how circuitous [...]

Yummm….no explanation neccessary for this PostStitch…I think we all can relate to the message! When I was working on the cruise project with those Whitman Tins, I was inspired by the way the Chocolates LOOKED (aside from the taste, of course!). Your favorite shops should have it about October 1st! This PostStitch comes with [...]

Here she is! You can see she’s got the rep to support the phrase “Women who behave rarely make history”! And the handcuffs charm pretty much say it all. A nice complement to the other pirates, this design fits nicely into a standard 4″ x 6″ or 5″ x 7″ frame. She will be making her [...]

Here’s another new design that I will be showing at the St. Charles Show next week (next week?? already?? I have so much to do still!) I have a Halloween themed design like this from last year and it’s a good seller so I thought I would expand the idea…hence Happy Holidays! It will be [...]
