Good Morning Thursday,
We woke up to clouds and a light rain this morning but still spring temperatures here-not complaining at all Smiles. The temperatures will be dropping though
I wanted to share a mini flower pounded pillow I had made over 20 years ago now-during the first few years that we retired to the woods in Missouri.
Back then I had an Etsy shop for awhile, and sold several of these. I was also doing the leaf printing on to fabrics and I sold several blouses of that. I really enjoyed that process along with natural dying.
I slow stitched around the flower pounded areas, some of them I needle felted wool on to them, added beads in the middle and that glass heart bead at the bottom I had kept this one for myself

Here are the pens I found by Crayola in my stash-I really like these I have not seen these sold in our small wal mart store but I really like their products-I had bought several different items from their online store. Their items come in tins-which I love.

Here is what I tried these out on
For once I was really happy with the flowers.
One more friend got their Christmas postcard in the mail this week, but I had two international come back to me-the one to Mia I forgot to add Athens-sigh not sure why Lisca's came back I still have packages that I ordered from Etsy a month ago that have not arrived-our postal system needs to be fixed.
It's almost the weekend coming up-any plans??
I love your flower painting! It's really beautiful! I have yet to try out the felt tip pens in my art. I know it's quite popular, but I think I may pass on that.
ReplyDeleteGood morning, before Larry's accident I was trying different things-and I had found the crayola site and at the time they had a lot of sales so thought I would try these out again I prefer learning how to paint better though
DeleteWhen i started drawing and coloring etc... a friend where i worked at Lowe's was an artist and seeing i was using crayola he said if you ever try Prismacolor or one of the better artist brand pencils you'll never go back... and he was righ... Love crayola for the kids but as an adult i use Prismacolor.. the pigment load is so much more... but on the other hand i'm so glad you are enjoying your pens... I do love the tins too... Today and tomorrow are our last two days of warm then a cold weekend... The wind is blowing like crazy , like CRAZY constant 25 miles an hour... drives me up a wall...
ReplyDeleteThe movie i want to see came out today.... Greenland 2-Migration.. I saw the first movie and it was really good... i like the actors too.. Gerard Butler...and i can't think of the girls name... Its on my agenda... lol WildCard Weekend!!! I love WildCard Weekend and hope to catch a game or two.. Take Care Kathy! Hugs! deb
Good afternoon, I think today is our last warmer weather day too we are in the low 60's and had a nice rain today no wind as of yet- Thanks about the artists pens--I figured since I found them again would use them up-they do have rich colors which I like-and cover very well too.
DeleteHad not heard of this movie before will see if Tubi has it-they are a free streaming movie channel we watch
Good Morning Kathy! I sent you an email yesterday but not sure i have the correct email address anymore... Your Vintage Christmas Post Card came yesterday!!!! Yeah! Thank you so much So cute and your little oak leaf stamp goes so nice with it.. Did you stamp the North Pole stamp on there? I thought well maybe thats why it took so long .. it went to the North Pole..lol Hope you have a beautiful day today... Hugs! deb
Deletehaha I have a long time friend in NC and she got her card the same day you did and she asked me the same question-haha no that was a rubber stamp I found on etsy that I "needed" to have-but wow the way the post office is running these days maybe it did go to the north pole-smiles.
Deletewe have lots of sunshine here but the temps are dropping.
Lovely flower art!
ReplyDeletethank you I was happy with this one-finally haha
DeleteYour flower painting turned out beautifully, Kathy.
ReplyDeletethank you so much Carola I was pleased with this one
DeleteOh I like your flower and I really like those watercolor crayons.
ReplyDeletethank you
DeleteBeautiful work, ❤️ Kathy.
ReplyDeleteGood morning, thank you Linda
DeleteDear Kathy, what a beautiful, cozy cushion you've sewn! Wonderful.
ReplyDeleteYour flowers turned out so pretty; they remind me of the little wild violets that bloom in my garden in April and May. They're so lovely.
It's snowing quite a bit outside; it looks beautiful. I'm going for a walk later in my warm winter boots; they have excellent soles with lots of tread. They're great for trudging through the snow... a short stroll :-)))
Warmest regards, Viola
Good morning Viola, surprisingly we have had no snow here so far-unusual but it happens some years in this area-thinking we will end up getting a big snowfall at some point.
DeleteWhen we lived in the woods it was so beautiful-I enjoyed walks in the snow too-enjoy!
Thank you about my flowers-I am very pleased with these
Happy weekend hugs
Those flowers turned out really nice. It was really windy here today and it was in the 50's. Now it is cold again. Janice
ReplyDeleteGood morning, thank you about my flowers-I really liked how these came out too.
DeleteThe wind is here too now-early morning we will be getting colder here too-so far not much of a winter here-fine with me though-smiles
Those markers have super color. I think you found some good ones. Not much for plans for me. I just finished cleaning up the Christmas things and with my husband's back pain, I probably won't be up to much. But the way, I spoke with Elizabeth (of Bleubeard and Elizabeth) yesterday and she wanted me to let you know she tried to contact you to thank you for the cards you sent her, but then it bounced back to her. She wanted me to tell you she was very happy you thought of her. I hope you're having a good weekend Kathy. Is your weather still warm. hugs-Erika
ReplyDeleteThank you Erika, I am happy she got the card so many are just now getting them-crazy.
Deletetell her my email is working now-I had a lot of issues with google but my main email so far is working again.
back pain is awful-my father lived with that for many years. back when he was a very young man he threw a heavy metal can fill will milk over his shoulder and some one called his name at the same time-he badly hurt himself.
Happy weekend hugs
