Happy St. Patrick's Day Weekend!!

A wee bit of green that my granddaughter, Gale, picked a couple summers ago here in Nova Scotia.
I hope your St. Patrick's Day weekend celebrations are fantastic!


 
My Brother embroidery machine is still waiting for a new motor. Needless to say, I'm not impressed with the company. This part has been on back order for quite awhile. The Janome embroidery machine is working well but is not as fast as the other one.

A few links to check:

• Lots of bag tutorials at Sew Sweetness  
• Decorative Stitch Easter Egg Ideas 
• 10 Contemporary Embroidery Artists 
• 19 Artists Creatively Pushing the Boundaries of Embroidery 

Enjoy!!      

A Bit of Green!!

March 17 (this coming Friday) is St. Patrick's Day. As I was reading Wikipedia information on that day, I was a bit amused to note that the Lenten restrictions on food and alcohol were lifted for that day. I'm not Irish but many of my friends are. I hope you enjoy the following links:
Enjoy the rest of your day.

Happy St. Patrick's Day

Although I'm rather late posting this, I hope everyone had a great St. Patrick's Day.

I had a very rewarding one at the Crafter's Wholesale Show. One more day to go. I decided to wholesale my packaged card sets (the newest ones aren't on the site yet), shimmer ornaments, and a select few (row house, fish and starfish) wearable art pins (scroll down). Sometimes there just aren't enough hours in the day to get everything done!


Check here for previous post on St. Patrick's Day sites to visit.

Green for the Irish!

As I don't have any Irish in me, I never think to post projects specifically to celebrate St. Patrick's Day. A visit to Michael's Craft Shop reminded me that it will be in a couple of weeks. Here's a few sites to visit with some patterns / projects / inspiration. You never know what you might find!
Enjoy!

I keep forgetting to post projects to do for some of the annual holidays such as St. Patrick's Day, until it's too late to make something. Anyway, there is always next year! Here are some sites with St. Patrick's Day stuff on them. Have a look.
