52 ?

52 Gel Pens! What Could You give to a person who does not want for anything! 52 Gel Pens!

The other evening I was complaining to my hubby that it seems like I keep purchasing gel pen

and then when I go to do my little dolls or stamps...the darn things are dry! This afternoon when he came home...He said he wanted to help me fix my need to gel pens!
I have never seen so many in a set! Where does he come up with this "stuff" Every type of gel pen in every color! Well, I am just as happy as if I had good sense!

Also, today was my day to visit the thrift shop on post, I grab all of the spy novels, piano music and chess books I can get my hands on ....

Oh, least not forget that "Big Mama" was delivered to day from Superior Threads! You can see by the photo that it towers over the other little spools of metallic, I am back in the game....Still awaiting a Metallic Black and Pearl and an Apple Green, The company I ordered from was on Holiday so the threads from them will not be shipped till the 15th.

As always,

Silver and Gold Jade Green and Browns ...

Small face to gage size was a face lesson from Nat Hanmade, Also, JoEllen of Husky designs will
be producing them on fabric, One of a kind from
Nat's Hamade lessons on faces...If, they look similiar its because we all took the same class.lol
If, you get an opportunity to take any of her classes ...jump to it....They are very intense and
the technique is so unique...The butterflys also in the background are from Addicted to Stamps...It is a roller stamp! What fun!
Metallic in
a colors that are so unlike when I first started to embroider.
Used to be silver or gold....It ran through your machine or more than not....Not!
Not any longer....

Jade Green, Bronze Bold...Gold is 4 tones and more...Blues from Powder to deep royal...Variegated in roses and gold, rose and blue with silver,Pearls of any color ...reds in many tones, silvers now also come in 5 tones and more...black and well, you get my thoughts....
Right after my birthday around the 15Th of Juli I always break the bank and go for a years supply...stabilizers in white, and blacks....small and large...vellum in small and large...needles, bobbins...Oh, I have a wonderful time, and watch my Bank account cry ...lol...I have ordered metallic from anyone that offered ...One spool of 10,000 yards in a gold #07 ....Jade Greens, pearls. Some have gotten to me already...The little masks size 3X3 are for backgrounds...I have been using the tones of metallic to test for larger designs. SO far, I have not found one metallic that my machine does not like.....I have only one color to obtain....in black, Never used a black metallic but, Why would I leave one of the colors still in the net waiting to be used? Nope, I will finish today with the spending and all this week will be testing the threads...
I always like to test threads and color combinations, I come up with some really interesting colors ...especially when blended one color on top of another...Glorious. This rose is a rather large design, I am testing it for a jacket ... I like the rose and its leaves....And this one will be a go for the jacket...Now, I just have to find the jacket pattern...and I will be good to go.'
It's the rainy season here in Arizona, and rains everyday for a little. All of the waterlilies and in bloom, Large as life, My frog is bigger this year...All of the lavenders are gone to the bees, Crape Murdel in full bloom and the evening are a delight to be out side.
I stitch in the early mornings and then garden in the evenings.
Mother Quail was leading her little new ones across the yards to teach them the best places to gather lunch and dinner. People always think that the desert has no life, You have to be hear to see and hear the beauty. In the fall we will again see the small hawks that keep the pigeons on the alert, Also a large blue heron on his way to Mexico always trays to stop for a meal but all the pond owners know when about he will be looking and we cover the ponds or put shinny twirlers around so scare him away...been working...fingers crossed.
Well, it's back to the threads....so many more to test. Till then, as always
May you walk in the moon light till the wind sets you free.

Moon Magic

Lunar Moon Magic. Number 2 in the Hummers that are being offered on the Red Moon Gardens web site. My camera is on the
blink and does not show the real beauty of the stitches. You got to try this for yourself. You will not be unhappy with the designs. Or the price.

I have combined the designs, as they are just perfect for t his. I have to stop for a week or so, as I am due for
the UPS man to arrive with the next commission from Bumblebee Lane;s Studio.
It is Christmas in Juli for me.
I must start all of my Christmas commissions in July to make sure that they are finished and posted by November.
It takes that long to produce a Puffy Stuffy Tea Cozy.
I really love the designs but, it is always hard when you have to reject
some that are on the wrong color background. But, it all works out in the end. I am just got fingers crossed to me hands holding out. The Journals just about killed my arms and hands. The journals are all bond.. some just awaiting the fabric to finish. Then on to another project for Bumblebee Lane. I always judge the day after my birthday day is next it is Christmas....6 months in my calender.
Let me say a big Thank You for all the friends that sent me cards through the post and the electric Birthday cards that I got, Some made me cry others made my funny bone act up!..But all were a joy to get. Thank You my friends one and all.
As always,
Silvery Moonbeams to watch over you and yours.
