Check out this movie trailer! Its a teaser trailer for a “gotta see” movie. The trailer, and the movie, weren’t produced by a big film company with lots of money…but it has great music, compelling videos and is interesting and heartwarming to watch. It’s a winner!
The movie is a story about love, not the gushy kind, but true love. It is set within a historical background and I know you’ll enjoy the trailer and…probably can’t wait to see the movie. Of course, it will be seen right here on this blog! You won’t even have to pay for it, just sit back and enjoy. I wouldn’t call it a chick flick, so ask your hubby to watch it with you. By the way, my hubby made the trailer and the movie!
Now, don’t look too closely, but I think I’m on the right track with the tatting. At least I can make it work without knotting the thread!
I never knew anything about a chain and only worked with the rounds when I tatted years ago, but I’m really enjoying working on this edging. I picked up the pattern from http://www.be-stitched.com/. My next experiment is with beads. There is also a pretty edging made with beads on the same website.
And an update on the smiley faces. After I had posted some of the smiley faces I found within objects, low and belold…hubby opened the new bottle of Hungry Jack syrup and look what was staring him in the face!
I sent an email to the folks making Hungry Jack (Smuckers) to ask if they made the smiley face to brighten our mornings, because when you open the lid it does put a smile on your face. I just received an answer that it was designed that way to control the flow of the syrup and to minimize mess. No mention of the smile, but you just can’t miss it! By the way, I love their peanut butter!
The snow has melted (thank goodness) and the ground is preparing for spring, so as quilters we do the same! I knew spring would be just around the corner so, during those cold and record breaking snow days, I was working on a spring table topper with hot pads to match.
The fun thing about this table topper is you can use spring colors, or fall colors, or even look at the flowers and they represent those snow flakes we were ready to see melt! That makes this table topper an all around pattern. It’s quick and easy to make.
Beads inside the flowers add to the look. The pattern is available at my pattern website: www.patterns2quilt.com.
