Be Merry Bears is now available at your local quilt shop! Don’t see it at your favorite quilt shop? Ask them about it! 🙂 You can’t miss out on these sweet little bears frolicking in the Christmas season. The coordinates are a perfect blend of light, medium and dark for easy quilt-making.

I will post the Halloween fabric line this week as well 🙂 Happy sewing!!

I LOVE photo editing!!! I could spend hours and hours playing around with all the effects and frames! This photo is rather old…..from the summer of 2006 but I love my dogs and have very few photos of me with them. Actually, I am the photographer of the family so there aren’t many pictures of me with anyone! LOL! My favorite sites for photo editing are picnik and befunky. Check them out and have some fun…..and if you are like me, you, too, will be addicted!

I took this photo today……beautiful vibrant greens poking through the mud and dead leaves….it makes my heart sing!! I know all my family and friends in the south already have blooms but here in Michigan we are just starting to see the signs of spring!!! It was 60˚ yesterday! This time of year energizes me and my head swims with dreams of bonfires, smores, cookouts & camping.

Just a heads up…..I post more on my facebook page than on my blog so for up-to-the-minute information, please join my fb page 🙂

So springy!! I love how the black background makes the flowers “pop”. These beautiful new products are now available from Magnet Works. Go to there website here and click on “store locator” to find a store in your area. Still longing for spring but these products make it seem like it’s just a day away 😉

The rectangle shape at the bottom of this wall hanging holds your favorite Halloween photograph. Isn’t that clever!

I just received these from Legacy Publishing last week. Oh, so springy!!! My first thought was….wow! these are beautiful….second thought was….hurry up, spring!….third thought was….these would make a great give away!!! Give away includes (left to right, top to bottom) a small magnetic notepad w/pencil, a magnetic list pad for the fridge, a notecard set of 13 cards/envelopes, a lined book/journal with pen and three coasters!
