I Can't Believe It...........

I thought I would share with all my blog friends my good fortune....I believe you should always buy a raffle ticket for what ever good cause is out there....Buy lemonade from the neighbor kids that are selling it at the end of the street.....But very seldom do I put my name in for freebie....why you ask..well.... I'm not very lucky....I'm lucky in the way that I have a great family that I love and good friends....But not lucky in the sense that I could ever win a contest or a drawing.....But guess what happened......I have been reading Michelle Palmer's blog for a long time and loving every thing she creates her drawing are imaginative and beautiful......So when reading her blog one night I left a comment...never excepting anything to come it....But I was wrong...Look at this absolutely beautiful drawing I won yes I said I won....The drawing is called "We Can Be Friends" and I love it....Please check out Michell's blog at michellepalmerart.blogspot.com. I know you will love it as much as I do.



Thank- you so much Michelle, for this sweet drawing...It look amazing in my home.....
Boy, I hope your day was as good as mine, Nancy

I Love Halloween.....

I have to say....I love Halloween...I have been stitching, sewing, painting, punching and enjoying every minute of it...
I have been working on cats, pumpkins, spiders, moons, stars, ghosts, my sewing room looks like a whirl wind of orange and black went off in it..I have mentioned be for that Mike (my husband) doesn't under stand my creative juices.....He also doesn't under stand why in the middle of July all I can think about is Halloween...But after all these year he just smiles and says "What ever makes you happy".....nice guy...right....
And Happy is what all this sewing does make me....But I have to say I better get on to other things today like laundry and all the other thing it takes to make our home run.....And maybe a yummy dinner....
So I'm off too get some of those thing done....
I'm hoping you are having a great summer, Nancy

Yahooooo...I Did It.....

It took all evening, but I finally did it, I successfully Posted my new work on TDIPI...Who new it wasn't a good idea to write everything on MS Word and then copy and paste to my blog????? Not me...I had pictures with out a posts....And posts with out pictures..I'll tell you I'll never try that again...I think I finally worked out all the bugs...Well on to happier things..I'm really excited about my new adventure with TDIPT... There is nothing I would rather do than stitch and sew...So now I have a great excuse.....I thought I would show my blog friends what I have been working on.....





Well....there they are...my four new offerings on TDIPT....Now my mind is swimming with new ideas for pumpkins and Halloween...I just purchase a bunch of fall colored threads and fabrics...So I'm off to see what I can come up with...I'm hoping your summer is going well and you have some time to stitch in the shade....Thanks for stopping By, Nancy

T.D.I.P.T. Mercantile.....

I have been stitching and sewing like crazy...Which by the way make me super happy...I absolutely love it when there is fabric and thread all over my sewing room.... But I have to say Mike (my husband) think it looks like a bomb went of in it... But he just doesn't understand how my creative juices work...

I have joined an online group called T.D.I.P.T. Mercantile which I will have offering available on the 15th of ever month...

Here are just a few small parts of my newest work...

T.D.I.P.T. has been a fun undertaking... And I have meet more nice people out in blog land...
