MY WEEK
Well I did! I tried my hand at machine embroidery. I put about 25 hours in to making t-shirts for Bob's business. I Do Not like machine embroidery. I had a heck of a time trying to get everything just right and I think on each shirt there are small mistake. Blurred out the phone number. My plan was to have my sister Barb do it for me, but when I got to her house she showed me how the machine worked and said "I have to get things packed for a mission I am going on with the church". My niece Toni came over and tried to help the the next day.
Finally finish what was suppose to be a quick stitch, but it took me almost two weeks to stitch. That shows how much free time I have had lately. LOL! I Love Sunshine by Linda Jary, 1996 Jeanette Crews Designs Inc. it is a freebie, but I can't find the link.
It has been a very busy week. We worked a lot in the shop, met with the bank about credit cards. When they left I asked Bob if he felt like he signed his soul away. LOL! And we are still trying to get the fireplace done. The guy keeps changing his mind. But we should be done next week. And did you know that the brick can change colors when done in a different run. Just like over dyed floss or yard.Saturday I took a "Me Day" and went to Beads and Something More in Mishawaka. I had a good time playing. LOL! I made Tree of Life pendent and wire wrapped rings and of course I brought home some beads. They are also doing a Spring Design Contest winner gets a $50.00 gift certificate. I entered my Amethyst Flower Ring.
Tree of Life Pendent, I can see lots of different ways to do this one, Spring, Summer, Fall, Winter, Apple Tree, Halloween Tree, Family Tree, etc. I did mine with Indian blood stone and copper wire.
This ring is my favorite one. I was going to get more stones to make more at home, but I bought the last one. I made it a little to big for me and Dara really liked it so I was going to give it to her, but it was too big for her too. I showed the rings to my friend Nikki and she liked this one and it fit her so it is hers now.
When I picked this bead out for the class I thought it would be laying the other way. It is too big, at least that is what I think.
