Hello To all my blogging buddy's!
I have been just hangin around...
Look at how gorgeous these tulips are!
Saturday our family drove up to the lovely Skagit Valley for the annual tulip Festival.
It started out a bit rainy and cloudy but gave into a beautiful day after all. We first attended the flight show and that was amazing. The stunt pilots were very talented men that did some crazy, very impressive things in the sky!I didn't include photo's of that in this post because I had so many great photos of the flowers to share. I hope you enjoy them!
Did you see those pretty fluffy white clouds?
I love days like that!
And the velvety red tulips lying beneath like a cozy blanket.
Have a nice week and...
May warm ray's of sunshine kiss your garden!
~Tam :D
Isn't this photo gorgeous? I know I love fields that go on for what seems like forever filled with flowers like this! This is in the Skagit valley here in the state of Washington, but it looks like it could be in Denmark-eh? It is just a tad north of us and not a bad drive at all.
I just love living in the Pacific Northwest~
what a blessing it is to this L.A. Girl!
Every spring or I should say the month of April they have a tulip festival there. Each year of the almost ten years we have lived here I have said we are going to go, and then never make it! Last year winter drug on and on which meant a slow start for the tulips and a short season. This year I am going for Pete's sake!!! I can hardly wait!!! I will take photos to share of course. I know it is a few weeks away but I am so excited and I just had to share! I thought you might enjoy this photo since it is the first weekend (officially) of Spring-YaY!
Have a wonderful sunny weekend!

:D
I had a fun time sewing these little projects up last week,
take a look...
Emily Jean Loves Tinkerbell.
So I found this cute very soft flannel Tinkerbell fabric
and added rows of other fabric, pink trim and lace.
It is hard to see how pretty they really were.
They were a soft blue with brown thread to match the fabric
I trimmed the edges out with.
That was some really cool fabric with a rick rack print in the same soft blue and brown stitches printed on it-I made bias tape with.
I used some of the extra bias tape I made
on the flower tote above.
Look at how darling these vintage patterns are!
These are some of my current projects I am working on. Some are for my little granddaughter and others I will sell. The dress pattern above is Emily Jean's Easter dress! I am going to make this one very special!
The little coat pattern is cut and ready to sew, it will be lightweight spring coat, and then I will post it on
my Etsy shop.
I am sure you may have noticed I put my dolls and one of my aprons on there.
Perfect Valentine or Easter gifts for a little girl~
*Hint*Hint*
I will slowly be adding items on Etsy for sale as I complete them.
So if you or anyone you know are looking for something special and sweet for Easter check my Etsy shop first! :D
I am planning on making some more Easter baskets~so if anyone is interested in purchasing any please let me know~
I will be glad to taylor it to a boy or girl. Or if you would like a tag if it is a gift and you want it to say who it is from like I did for my granddaughters basket. Just leave me your email in a comment and I will get back to ya!
Hello Sweet Blogger's!
I have been tagged by Candy at http://rockcandy56.blogspot.com/
and... Phyllis at http://mycrumbsofhappiness.blogspot.com/
Thanks so much girls for thinking about me-I have been having fun getting to know these blogger's! You all should scoot on over and visit these gals!
I posted my 7 random things about myself on my other blog, please come on over and visit me there too! http://yakiddyyakyak.blogspot.com But first...
With Valentines Day just around the corner I decided to add this darling heart tucked into a tiny matching bag as I introduce to you my
Apple Creek Cottage Kids!
Remember the dolly's I talked about a few post back?
Well I am finally posting them!
Funny but the tiny bunny toy, heart and bags were one of my favorite things to make in this project.
Now of course I made extras for my sweet lil Emily Jean!
She just loves it when her Grammy makes something special for her!
(And these dolls are a nice size for little hands to play with.)
I loved the smiles and big giant hugs I got too!
Sorry the photos were not the best but it is the camera I have to work with.
I have some more very cool projects I am working on. I may have mentioned them before. I bought some sweet vintage patterns to make Easter Dresses and Coats!Some fabric is already cut and ready to go.
I will do a post on them really soon, for sure I will post a fun teaser anyhow.
I think you will love some of my up coming projects,
of course they will have a twist and flare whenever possible~You know me!
I have so many ideas just swirling around in my head-can't wait to get them out!
When I have ideas or things I am working on I will actually dream about them until they are done. UUGGH -do any of you do that too???
I am going to get around to starting an etsy shop and also put items up on eBay as well. I just have so many things going on right now and time is not on my side!
I am also trying to decide on pricing, that's the hard part for me.
Anyhow...I hope you have all been enjoying a week of sunshiny smiles and livin some hopes and dreams baby's!
I know many of us are experiencing a cold snap-so stay safe and warm!
Thanks for all the wonderful encouraging comments-they all mean a lot to me!
