I tried to make her squishy as Victorian as I could. I found the little girl image on the same blog that Lyn G posted about. Her hat was maroon but her blouse was white, I thought it would look good if her blouse matched her hat so I colored the blouse. Her face had no color so I gave her a nice blush and made her eyes blue. I think she turned out really pretty, I hope you like your <span id="SPELLING_ERROR_1" class="blsp-spelling-error"><span id="SPELLING_ERROR_1" class="blsp-spelling-error">squishie</span></span> Ann!

Nicki let me know that she wanted blues with an Under the Sea Theme so I put together <span id="SPELLING_ERROR_2" class="blsp-spelling-error">uts</span> items and fabrics. I didn't know what I was going to use for her silkies so I went to google and typed in Free Clip Art and started clicking on links and found two adorable images. I didn't have to do anything to these but print them out. I hope you like your <span id="SPELLING_ERROR_3" class="blsp-spelling-error">squishie</span> Nicki!<img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 370px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5363187887582401330" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj1csjAx0Ty7NzgNQskawJSveyxzIddm0ruLMraXXt8pwF2V8cPyUZP8vC6n4vdQSFc_3kQRViuETXKBHHy6dY5avAV-SFmrzr2KVl83Wq7gIddd6nmSfivuvs1YalpyMmHKQn7RPani65r/s400/000_3294.jpg" /><br /><div></div><br /><div></div><br /><br /><div></div><br /><br /><div></div>Jillhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15026612370528662790noreply@blogger.com4tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9081398819380248261.post-9744593591156702512009-07-26T18:39:00.000-07:002009-07-26T18:50:50.035-07:00Silkie for Ann's SquishieI've sent the afternoon working on a silkie for Ann's squishie. Ann loves Victorian and she likes muted colors. I found this image on the blog that Lyn G found and love it! Here's the link to the blog ><a href="http://shabbychicpapirskatter.blogspot.com/">http://shabbychicpapirskatter.blogspot.com/</a> . Thank you Lyn, I love this blog! I thought I would mess around in photo shop elements 6 and see what I could do with this image because I didn't think Ann would like all the writing on it. If you do Ann let me know and I can clean it up and send it to you as is. Anyway I had a lot of fun messing around to see what I could do. I can't paint and have always wanted to so I think this is the next best thing, <span id="SPELLING_ERROR_0" class="blsp-spelling-error">lol</span>. I really wanted to put a tree in the image but I couldn't find one the same style, one that would blend in and look like it was painted by the same artist. Maybe Ann could embroider a tree on the right hand side over the leaves and bring it up over and to the center of the image? Just a thought. What do you think about this <span id="SPELLING_ERROR_1" class="blsp-spelling-error">silkie</span>?<br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiXyFOq7-nedasrpzshi0OL0Cn8-ugJYxdl_fo7nEx7i6AZZr0Hm0OCbCZLLTv4KSpqFLwbqHfVjwEiGacOPcKFuLmQaiCToLF67XjYXoC3oq3yrYFYhf3wnrl73LWRoljIF8h7wq7GOIOg/s1600-h/Heidi27.jpg"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 235px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5362948941457409362" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiXyFOq7-nedasrpzshi0OL0Cn8-ugJYxdl_fo7nEx7i6AZZr0Hm0OCbCZLLTv4KSpqFLwbqHfVjwEiGacOPcKFuLmQaiCToLF67XjYXoC3oq3yrYFYhf3wnrl73LWRoljIF8h7wq7GOIOg/s400/Heidi27.jpg" /></a><br /><div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgRRVfmddzYWC7eoF9i78jFMYC9JvBWkYkbn-ZIq17AGyiJvTSvVqhJKRj4PnSml-IrRYryIdFJPPOUutYeF53nNpS4vpBHTqzikFW3yfUU36B-dDSesJotCaHd7KA7W1q4hMrsgGMgIyyO/s1600-h/Heidi27edited_01.jpg"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 273px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5362948936981187874" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgRRVfmddzYWC7eoF9i78jFMYC9JvBWkYkbn-ZIq17AGyiJvTSvVqhJKRj4PnSml-IrRYryIdFJPPOUutYeF53nNpS4vpBHTqzikFW3yfUU36B-dDSesJotCaHd7KA7W1q4hMrsgGMgIyyO/s400/Heidi27edited_01.jpg" /></a><br /><br /><div></div></div>Jillhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15026612370528662790noreply@blogger.com5tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9081398819380248261.post-21935310694860064282009-07-25T12:10:00.000-07:002009-07-25T12:11:32.081-07:00I have two winners!Nicki said it was a candle holder that you put a big candle in so she is right, it is a candle holder.<br />Ann said it was a candle holder that you put a glass votive down into and she's right.<br />With your help I was able to find a picture> <a href="http://www.shopwildthings.com/hangingcandle.html">http://www.shopwildthings.com/hangingcandle.html</a><br />I had no idea what to even call it when I first posted so you both will get a squishie!<br />Please send me an email with your favorite colors, and theme and I'll get them off to you on Monday.<br />Thank you!Jillhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15026612370528662790noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9081398819380248261.post-34337507515392390832009-07-25T11:08:00.001-07:002009-07-25T11:53:04.718-07:00What is this?My sister loves yard sales and if she sees something I would like she grabs it, she is so sweet!

She picked out the colors and silkie and I pieced the block for her (she's having a hard time figuring out how to piece) and she embellished this little tin. Isn't it pretty! I love how she did the inside with the floral motif! A few years ago I bought her some sre kits that she had worked on but never put them together. She cut out the sre that she did and glued it to the inside of the tin, I just love it! I also love how she embellished the outside, now I know where I get my talent from, lol.<br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiaSiJcQW7dIM6Hep0U9NHEO-tw25e9NpjS3JGM0jPj4P18Uz8G26oW5hK2AWspEkg3KPmiuQvde1Rde8pB4k-0crP6rya2NsKpDgL7rYOiYvZ8qW9VUErturFKEKtEV8FWpmaIJsmgYkwT/s1600-h/000_3277.jpg"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 316px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5360953591067441442" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiaSiJcQW7dIM6Hep0U9NHEO-tw25e9NpjS3JGM0jPj4P18Uz8G26oW5hK2AWspEkg3KPmiuQvde1Rde8pB4k-0crP6rya2NsKpDgL7rYOiYvZ8qW9VUErturFKEKtEV8FWpmaIJsmgYkwT/s400/000_3277.jpg" /></a><br /><div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgBnuikDhkTyYqkRp5JM-VcBSr8HaPlkIRH8D6lKuOVnkBtgcn-jsGKDRCGmMR83YSpC3LhVOiSPKTv2fUnUmafQDKVF-m8H98uMciuBsn7kOHe2t2ot_je1JkZqxSnQwxrEPrCDodE_POM/s1600-h/000_3273.jpg"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 177px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5360953587343640146" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgBnuikDhkTyYqkRp5JM-VcBSr8HaPlkIRH8D6lKuOVnkBtgcn-jsGKDRCGmMR83YSpC3LhVOiSPKTv2fUnUmafQDKVF-m8H98uMciuBsn7kOHe2t2ot_je1JkZqxSnQwxrEPrCDodE_POM/s400/000_3273.jpg" /></a><br /><br /><div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjiffdyva4xuU2uIV-x9ZFoqR2ACek9YkllZo57YTVZpnQUAoQxT_BSqSHWAbQLtaroBUt5MKJd8R1crBT9yzLSg_hyinR5C1VO1VaoHwfrw54xltlLsz-OyyPB6zO6Yq0qr_13FpChstYu/s1600-h/000_3274.jpg"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 369px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 400px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5360953583632792466" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjiffdyva4xuU2uIV-x9ZFoqR2ACek9YkllZo57YTVZpnQUAoQxT_BSqSHWAbQLtaroBUt5MKJd8R1crBT9yzLSg_hyinR5C1VO1VaoHwfrw54xltlLsz-OyyPB6zO6Yq0qr_13FpChstYu/s400/000_3274.jpg" /></a><br /><br /><br /><div></div></div></div>Jillhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15026612370528662790noreply@blogger.com6tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9081398819380248261.post-43137300212063600882009-07-21T09:31:00.001-07:002009-07-21T09:36:12.447-07:00I finally finished the block for Donna's pillowI don't know if you remember but if you go back through the posts a little ways you will see this little girl <span id="SPELLING_ERROR_0" class="blsp-spelling-error">silkie</span> and a picture of my friends living room. Donna wanted me to make her a pillow. Well I got the block done and told her that I wasn't that great at sewing things together and I was hoping the pillow came out square with nice corners. Donna said that she was good at sewing pillows so I'm sending her the block and fabric for the pillow and she's going to put it together! I was so happy because when it comes to the sewing that's when I get nervous, <span id="SPELLING_ERROR_1" class="blsp-spelling-error">lol</span>.

It's different from the usual spider plant because the leaves kind of curl giving it a fuller look.<br />I wanted to hang the plant in the corner of my living room but I didn't have a plant hanger. In the 70's I used to macrame plant hangers so I thought I would make one. I haven't made one for like 25 years, when I sat down to make it I had a big blank and just stared at the cording not know how in the world to start. When I made them in my 20's I could make them with my eyes closed, lol, so I was really frustrated! I saw some on line already made for as low as $5.99 but I refused to buy one even if they were giving them away for free! I can make these I just know everything will come back to me! I typed in macrame plant hanger instructions and read it over and yessssss, it all came back. So on January 1st, 2009 I revisited the 70's and made this plant hanger. I wanted the knots loose to look lacy. I think it came out pretty good!<br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhqxtihT8WR1lCHJB6w4ajq7vqd7u1cuwtGlUGcvV-F87M6M2mSpkgD51K8CJQM5dhCK02qu9SNj4bsIkuYFf3H822rKRXF57Dj9IuhelCsuzAgZJIclVQ6m41GdNes51nHTFJ1fb4MCcg4/s1600-h/000_3017.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5287214506162335138" style="WIDTH: 246px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 320px" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhqxtihT8WR1lCHJB6w4ajq7vqd7u1cuwtGlUGcvV-F87M6M2mSpkgD51K8CJQM5dhCK02qu9SNj4bsIkuYFf3H822rKRXF57Dj9IuhelCsuzAgZJIclVQ6m41GdNes51nHTFJ1fb4MCcg4/s320/000_3017.jpg" border="0" /></a><br />Now I just need to figure out what to do with the pot, get a new<br />one or cover this one?Jillhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15026612370528662790noreply@blogger.com7tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9081398819380248261.post-18941421489579648442008-12-26T11:42:00.000-08:002008-12-26T11:58:09.371-08:00My Christmas Goodies!<span style="font-size:130%;">What a wonderful Christmas Cracker I received from Debbie S!

I went digging through and pulled out something that was really protected with bubble wrap and then plastic wrap all held securely with packing tape. I was so excited to get whatever it was unwrapped and it was taking too long! lol. I finally got everything undone and wow, wow wait until you see what Donna made for me! I absolutely love it and couldn't take me eyes off of it.<br />It is this beautiful Victorian tray that she made out of a picture frame!<br />Isn't it just beautiful and so darling!<br /><br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiwZPlYgWNybqKWuHUMzIrL9Hm1nqOtIVanavVuqUBSkfoqxDwUNsApsz3WFJEhd5ZJV2ywrn6MUtPrVs7ODXW_C14mHyad7plqHmbogrnH6g2ADR9A8m_W2AYe6RbmA8J6T140IYPwVvuy/s1600-h/000_2933.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5269313101415254418" style="WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 246px" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiwZPlYgWNybqKWuHUMzIrL9Hm1nqOtIVanavVuqUBSkfoqxDwUNsApsz3WFJEhd5ZJV2ywrn6MUtPrVs7ODXW_C14mHyad7plqHmbogrnH6g2ADR9A8m_W2AYe6RbmA8J6T140IYPwVvuy/s320/000_2933.jpg" border="0" /></a><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjlFsI-lnj77xdjT5y0exyM-Yl6EZH8EAVj5WgzdKSjjk_4Gvlpe6819EGzytzo5uJa7MLJkIQv1gqdDL6Iy9RurhvFFrm5LEBOyApffp54UAUUFwZvPloJXn0T4u7Me47TO4naAknZUqjm/s1600-h/000_2935.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5269313461526544418" style="WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 264px" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjlFsI-lnj77xdjT5y0exyM-Yl6EZH8EAVj5WgzdKSjjk_4Gvlpe6819EGzytzo5uJa7MLJkIQv1gqdDL6Iy9RurhvFFrm5LEBOyApffp54UAUUFwZvPloJXn0T4u7Me47TO4naAknZUqjm/s320/000_2935.jpg" border="0" /></a><br />I really love this tray!

It's wonderful that the Lord is renewing our friendship and we are both enjoying it so much!<br />Thank you Lord Jesus!<br />We were talking about our new interests and Donna told me that she had written a book and I told her that I had gotten into crazy quilting.<br />Donna told me about her book and read me one of the poems and I sent her some pictures of some of the cq work I have done.<br />We decided to make an exchange, Donna would send me one of her books and I would make her a pillow. At first Donna didn't know if it would be fair because of the time it would take me to make a pillow but I told her are you kidding it took you months to write this book and it would be a fair exchange!<br />The name of Donna's book is Rhymes... by God<br />Spirit Filled Poems for God's Kids of All Ages.<br />Here is one of my favorites><br />Pearl of Great Price<br />A merchant watched for pearls every day.<br />He found a pearl of great price, selling all to pay. ( Mt 13:45-46)<br />God so loved the world He gave Jesus, His Son.<br />All who believe have eternal life and would not perish, not one. (Jn 3:16)<br />Believers are the beautiful pearls with no flaw. ( S of S 4:7)<br />With His everlasting lovingkindness, He continues to draw. (Jer 31:3)<br />A pearl is formed when it is irritated by a grain of sand.<br />With time and patience, it grows into a precious jewel so grand.(Phil 1:6)<br />As our precious faith is exercised, we grow to become complete. (1 Pet 1:3-7) (2 Cor 4: 6-7) ( Mk 4:30-31)<br />Speaking God's Word will overcome satan's irritations for his defeat. (Ps 17:4) ( 1 Pet 5:8-9) ( Rev 12:11)<br />It is not the trial that changes us, but renewing our minds in God's Word. ( Rom 12:1-2) ( Jas 1:2-4, 3)<br />Even though our precious faith is tested by fiery trials, (Ps 34:19)<br />God will deliver and perform a good work in you. Count it all smiles!<br />(PS 91 all, vs 1-2, 9, 14-15) ( Ph 1:6) ( Jas 1:2-4)<br />Copyright Protected.<br />Isn't that a wonderful Poem filled with God's love and Promises!<br />Here is a picture of Donna's book that I was so blessed to receive!<br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjD1_YyCOflg766zbiSP6d46cmbggeqd4ws2uKMpy9o9oJ21_HamaNSHy5GLDCha9W7rVWwJdJTs6onlFU2kd6ei0b0sNTHg8uaArodoiiYnPEZVBXjG4bgzLxHXctQ7LaOrzx0-4ps5kGa/s1600-h/000_2908.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5260102184354114226" style="CURSOR: hand" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjD1_YyCOflg766zbiSP6d46cmbggeqd4ws2uKMpy9o9oJ21_HamaNSHy5GLDCha9W7rVWwJdJTs6onlFU2kd6ei0b0sNTHg8uaArodoiiYnPEZVBXjG4bgzLxHXctQ7LaOrzx0-4ps5kGa/s320/000_2908.jpg" border="0" /></a><br />If you would like to buy one of Donna's books email me and I'll forward your email to her so she can get in contact with you.<br /><br /><br />My part of the exchange was to make Donna a pillow. She wanted one for her living room sofa. She sent me some pictures so I could have a better idea of her style and use of color. Donna has the most beautifully decorated home! Talking about eye candy! I was drooling over every pic she sent me. She is one talented lady! She likes everything that I like, lace and vintage and victorian and pinks! lol<br /><br />Here is a picture of her living room so I could see the sofa.

I just love it and can't believe it is mine! lol.<br />You will never guess where I found this gorgeous furniture. The Craigs list!<br />I had been looking for new furniture and wanted something that looked Victorian. My daughter and niece have found some wonderful things on the Craigs list so I thought I would take a look. There was a post that said Victorian sofa, love seat and chair there were no pictures and the post had been up for 5 days already and I honestly thought that by now it was probably sold but I picked up the phone and called and said, you probably still don't have the furniture do you? The lady said that because she wasn't able to post pics she really didn't get any calls, so I got it!
