“FOCUS ON THE THINGS YOU LOVE & LIFE WILL BE BEAUTIFUL”

I don’t know where I heard this quote….but I love it and wanted to share it with you. Isn’t it true though…even when some days it isn’t easy….focus on the things you love. The images above are some of my faves (and of course, art) but there are countless wonderful, just, pure, and beautiful people and “things” in this world……don’t just keep them in your thoughts but go out and enjoy them!!

Fabric Magic…..

October 1, 2010


Aren’t these adorable….if only I had a lil’ girl, I would buy them for sure!! Found these on Etsy from 2sproutsandalilvoice. She used my “Wickedly Wonderful” fabric available from Marcus Fabrics to create the most fun & whimsical skirts. Click here to purchase.

Love this, too! Another great find on Etsy from Cococtions. She also used my “Wickedly Wonderful” fabric from Marcus to create this sweet apron. If you live where it’s warm for Halloween you could wear this for your costume….just add a witches hat!! Click here to purchase.

Here is a fun Halloween runner also found on Etsy and made from my “Wickedly Wonderful” fabric from Marcus Fabrics. Click here to purchase.

Quilt made with my “Wickedly Wonderful” fabric from Marcus Fabrics.

“Cats and Bats” fabric by South Sea Imports from many years ago…quilted by “Quilt Friends”

“12 Days of Christmas” fabric line by South Sea Imports from several years ago

“Life’s a Trip” fabric by South Sea Imports, again it’s been years ago..quilt by Vicki

“Country Life” fabric from South Sea Imports quilted by Jan at Knitsmith

Every once in a great while I do a “teresa kogut” search using google images to see what comes up. That is how I found all of these amazing handmade creations from very talented folks. They each used my quilting fabric to make their treasures. It always warms my heart to know people like my fabric lines enough to put all that time and effort into creating something beautiful with it. Thank you to all of you!

God Bless you Gianna for sharing your story……and for not being bitter about what happened to you, instead using your story to glorify our Lord. You are more inspiring than anyone I have ever heard and I thank you for your incredible, powerful testimony. When I feel down or weak, thoughts of you will lift my spirits…………..

I spent most of yesterday uploading prints to my Etsy shop and early this morning I added two new rug patterns to my website! Dontcha just loooove “Bunny Love”…….I designed this punchneedle pattern several years ago but I used pinks and creams. It was cute but I really like it with the darker more folk-artsy colors. (folk-artsy….is that a word….well, it is now!) Wishing you all a blessed week.

A wonderful weekend….

September 27, 2010

Friday, September 24, was our 22nd anniversary…….Kevin and I spent the evening at Saginaw Valley State University (SVSU) setting up our booth for the show on Saturday. After setting up we dined at a Japanese Steak House called Genji. Oh so delicious! We enjoyed our time together…even if work was involved……in our busy lives we take what we can get 😉

Our friends Bob & Peggy were in the booth next to us. They own a wonderful Country Store called Wren in the Willow in Goodrich, Michigan. They also make all kinds of clever & whimsical creations to take to art & craft shows. (pictures below)



Kevin’s cousin, Art, and his wife, Elaine, had a booth right behind us, too! We were surrounded by friends and family during the show and enjoyed visiting with them.

After the show Saturday, Kevin packed up his drums and headed for a gig, I picked up Ryan and headed for a bonfire at some friend’s house in celebration of his promotion….then Sunday, church, Ryan’s football game and back to church for the youth’s Edge night. Busy, busy, busy….but all really good stuff!!
