HOW CUTE IS THIS ?



How darn cute is this little Kewpie and don't you think this would make a cute, cute
stitchery piece. I was blessed to have been given many wonderful antique patterns and designs by a friend who owns the copyrights to them and has shared that right with me.
About two weeks ago I became a Grant Grandma and love every second of it too. Thinking about putting this design onto some baby bibs for my grate grandson. He is doing fine and weighted in at 8lbs. 30z. and 20 inches long. Must admit I had forgotten how small this little ones arrive into this world. What a difference from being around adult sons who are oh so big.

Would a patchwork quilt work well with cute Kewpie's? So many wonderful creative things a person can make for loved ones and friends.
Until next time keep smiling and have a grand weekend.

THE EMBROIDERY MACHINE


HELLO DEAR FRIENDS,

After hundreds of dollars, hours and hours of reading come to find out that I need a spacial hardware device and that is not going to happen for quite sometime as I have used all my funds and then some.
So for now it is back to handwork and my little pattern works. Oh well the dream was quite nice and well meant. I guess there is a lesson here some where. I am really disappointed but that is just the way life is at sometime or the other.

On the brighter side of life I have created four new wool felt designs and hope to have them finished and pictures posted.
Until then keep on STITCHIN AND HAVE A BEAUTIFUL DAY.
Len in outback CA.

WAITING FOR NEW PROGRAM


UPDATE


HOWDY FRIENDS, After all the reading and trying to reinstall the old software found out that it is OUTDATED what a shock, AS IT IS ONLY A FEW YEARS OLD. After hours and several days of being disappoints I went ahead and order the new program and also had to order a new read and write box as well and now I am broke once again. Gee was going to go visit a friend in Utah but that will have to wait a bit longer.

On the brighter side of all the cost I am really excited to be getting the new programs, read and write for my fancy Embroidery Machine AND new computer. Would not have been able to do this but my adult kids and grand kids help me out. I have so many ideas, drawings and patterns that I want to convert to embroidery stitches for both hand and machine embroidery.

Thank goodness I was blessed to have taken a few lessons in regards to programming and design development. for the embroidery machine and computer. Sounds like I know something, and I do and that is I know, I know very little but willing to attempt the school of hard knocks. With all this said I found out that my retirement is very close to being filed as part of a bankruptcy. Talk about a shocker.
All I can say it is going to be hard for this old gal.
Blessings and have a very wonderful day.
Len
P.S don't for get to check out the stitching room.
