Pattern Booklet Finally Printed & Listed on Etsy

Well I finally finished my pattern booklet! It is so hard to believe I started it 4 months ago. Now I have to confess I didn't work on it daily or even weekly...I sketched images as they came to me, something I saw (like the cover image) or something I love (Boston Baby).

I kept the images I drew, smudges and all, scanned them in & darkened them up so they showed up more clearly when printed.
Some have a phrase, word or saying on them others are simple designs that can be enhanced to fit your personal preferences.
There are 10 drawings that can be enlarged or reversed for Rug Hooking, Punchneedle or Needle Punch, Wool Applique Penny Rugs, Folk Art Painting, Primitive Stitching, ATC's, Collage or anything you can dream up!

This is the cover of the booklet

This is one of the designs hooked up into a Rocking Chair Pad for a New Mother


Okay time to go to sleep, it has been a long day!

~*I have been tagged!*~ These drugs must be good I didn't even feel it!

There I was just sitting back watching "CHUCK", finishing a snippet bag for one of my Snippet & Tool Stools, which needs to get packed in my suitcase with the others so I can get my clothes in there, when my phone 'dings', which means I have an email.

I put my stitching down to check the mail & I find out I have been TAGGED?!?!??!?

Tagged by my dear friend Betty, who I am learning is a little bit of a stinker sometimes!

Being old I have no idea what the rules are of 'cyber blog tag' I have to research Betty's Blog "primitivebettys" to figure out what I have to do now.

LOL I have to tell you 5 things about myself (gee I guess if you read my blog you would know way more than 5 things about me) and tag five more friends...gee do I have 5 friends?

Okay Okay I will play along, thankfully we have the eldest sons DVR and I can watch the end of CHUCK when I am done!!!

1. I love old things, not antiques, although I do like them too, but old things that most people would throw away...like these old glass bottles I found while hiking through Old Mill Creek when I was 18 they were buried 1/2 way in the mud near what was left of an old farm foundation. They are on my display ledge in my kitchen with lots of other old things I have found or been given.

2. I was adopted as a baby & found out when I was 18 when someone said something to my sister, she came home & told me.

3. I have a 1/2 brother that was born 4 -6 yrs after me, around Christmas, that was also given up for adoption.

4. My Birthmother was also adopted around 4 yrs old, so I would love to find out my family history & nationality.

5. I want desperately to own a farm in the Virginia mountains where I can raise endangered breeds of farm animals & have school children visit on field trips to learn about farm life.

hhhhhmmm who to tag, who to tag
