Free Victorian Santa Cross Stitch Pattern

Image
Good morning! It's Thursday and I gotta go to work in a bit but I wanted to jump on here and say Hi to everyone. Last night I was cleaning out the basement and I found some books with tons of cross stitch patterns in them. I decided that I would start sharing them with you. Understand that I am too lazy to scan them so I am taking nice clean pictures of them instead. Most of them are "victorian" patterns. My favorite! Also I took a picture of my flower outside because it is the first time I have grown Tulips and I am so excited! Me and the kids ran outside yesterday when we all got home from school and work to see them because it was 70 out yesterday! I am so glad it is finally going to be warm here for a while. Hope you all have a wonderful day! If you like this pattern and want more, remember to follow my blog! Stay save and cool today!   If you download this photo or simply click on it, it will be much bigger. Also if you are having a hard

Spring Dishes from Avon!

Image
This morning it is raining once again in Montana. I really want to see the sun! My whole weekend has been dark and gloomy. This morning I got onto the computer to look at flowers to make myself happier and feel more "springish" , if that is even a word, and I was reminded of these super cute bowls! So now I am thinking I just might get an early Mother's Day gift for myself, from myself!  I am really excited because my peonies are actually coming up this year. I have had them for 3 years now and every year they only grow leaves. This year however, I have way more leaves and shoots than I have ever seen and so I am actually not sure if I will have flowers or not but I am wishing and hoping that is a good indication that I will! Fingers are crossed! I did plant some Basil, Rosemary and Cilantro for some big pots outside. I really enjoy gardening. I started just last year and I gotta say, its so fun! I also planted Tulips for the first time and they are really prett

Baby Doll Dress FREE CROCHET PATTERN - INTERMEDIATE

Image
Baby Doll Dress FREE CROCHET PATTERN I was just wondering if was the only one that has like 80 different projects going and not wanting to really work on one thing or the other.... Then when that happens,  overwhelm sets in and I just feel like I can never get them all done. One at a time one at a time right? WRONG! I just start a whole other project that I know is small and I know I will get done leaving all the others to frustrate me another day. HA! So if you are like me then you will appreciate this pattern that I am going to put in here! Its a cute little baby doll dress! First time for me making clothing. Gotta start somewhere! :)  DRESS: Finished size is about 4" x 4"1/2. Use an H hook. Grab some buttons or maybe some ribbon for the neck of the dress. Its yours so you can decorate it how ever you want! :) I used orange yarn because - it was easy to reach from where I was sitting at the time ;) Pink I think or yellow would be much cuter. Maybe even pin

What took me so long to try this lotion??

Image
GOOD DAY EVERYONE! I hope you are all doing well. It has been raining here in Montana for about 2 weeks now, but today the sun is out and it feels really warm. I am very happy. Makes for a perfect Saturday.  I work during the week but love to paint and garden during the weekends. My plans are to take pictures of my daughter before she goes back to Korea :(, plant my garlic and onions and work on my paintings. I have two that are in "the process of". A rabbit is one and a large Elk overlooking Montana is the other.  I also wanted to share with you this lotion from Avon. I know this is going to sound really horrible. I have been selling Avon for about 7 years now and not once have I actually tried the Moisture Therapy basic lotion. I am that girl who likes to buy the smelly lotions. So I have always picked up  the smelly lotions . Last night however, my hands were so dry so I decided to open up a bottle that I had laying around as an extra. My garden friends always swea
