Friends + Inspiration = Blessings

It arrived today!!! I just had to share this with you, my sweet friends ~ can you believe my humble little apron is really on the cover of the premiere issue of apron•ology, how cool is that?!

There are SO MANY amazing aprons in this publication ~ true works of art....it should available in craft stores and book stores Feb. 1st or soon thereafter.

I love this precious one below!

My sweet friend Sherry from Creations from My Heart made a GORGEOUS apron that's featured inside ~ such beauty, all in the form of the utilitarian apron.

I hope you have a great Thursday sweet friends,

xxoo, Dawn

What an honor!!

Look what came in the mail today!! I couldn't quite remember exactly what I wrote about blogging but I did remember that it was from the heart, it was about how I feel about the friends I've made here and how you've all inspired me so. It's a beautiful cycle of inspiration we have here in this land of blog!

What an honor it is to be in Artful Blogger magazine!! This issue has so many wonderful blogs featured that I need to visit and explore. Plus, blogging tips, tricks and etiquette... Blogger.com even has an article as well about having a blog ~ I still need to read so much of this issue!

I just had to share my joy with you!!!

This issue will be available at craft stores and book stores around February 1st!

Thank you for always being such sweet friends and cheering me on ~ this would not have happened without YOU!

Wishing you a very happy Tuesday dear friends,

xxoo, Dawn

They're back home!

My little artwork is back home from California ~ it's all made quite a trip around the country!! I'm going to keep all but one ballet shoe pincushion. Jenny Doh even purchased one of the baby shoes, how cool is that?!

This is the little ballet shoe that will be going in my Etsy ~ 18.00 with 6.00 shipping. This is one of the ballet shoe pincushions in the current issue of Somerset Life.

The nest assemblage is back home too! I'll be adding it to my Etsy too. Can you believe this wonderful old box that it's in? The graphics are so neat to me. This one is 32.00 with 7.00 shipping . . . currently featured in Somerset Studio magazine.

And today, I worked on four of these 1 Thessalonians plaques! One is a special order but I have three for sale at 14.00 each with 5.00 shipping.

I hope that you're having a great week. I'm busy making tutorials and hope to have them for sale soon. If you're interesting in any of these pieces before I place them in my Etsy just email me at sewmanyroses@yahoo.com!!!

Thank you always for stopping by to see me and for each and every sweet comment. You inspire me!!

Happy Thursday!

xxoo, Dawn

New magazines & some link love!

I had to share with you the sweetest creation that Kathy of Henny Penny Designs made and has listed in her Etsy store. Isn't this pinkeep precious? I love Kathy's primitive embroidery, it always looks like a small girl made it! She's listed a few other goodies, some incredible primitive animals too! Click HERE to visit ~

******************************************

It was truly time to buy some magazines. How long can a girl last without them? They are my vice, not such a bad one, I don't think so anyway!

Here's what I found today:

MaryJanes Farm magazine chock full of the neatest recipes and a lot of projects. I love projects. Plus a dear friend Karin of Meandering Travels of Mindless Thoughts is featured!! She won a pinkeep contest and they have a picture of Karin and her beautiful pinkeep inside ~ It really is so pretty Karin, I can see why they chose yours as the winner!

The latest Romantic Homes ~ I always love this one and Lidy of French Garden House is featured in the blogging section!!

And of course, you know that I had to buy this lovely magazine, Somerset Studio. And I promise I didn't JUST buy it for the ad of my baby shoes!!! It's a wonderful issue as they all are ~ so much amazing artwork inside. Hope you all aren't going to be tired of seeing these little things before the July issue hits the newstands!!! I'm such a goob, I want to lay it out on the coffee table opened to them! Thank you all so much for letting me know about it ~ I've been kind of holed up here at the house for awhile and decided it was time to get out and see what was new at Books-A-Million. I'd still like to get the newest Artful Blogging too but will probably get it by the end of the week!

(Oh, I added the music back on, thank you for letting me know you like it, I do too!)

Wishing you a great Wednesday sweet friends!

xxoo, Dawn
