Free Is Sweet...
One of my very first blogging buddies Holly aka Olde Dame Penniwig has gifted us with free *Olden Day* hang tags, prim and grubby lookin. Holly is a free spirit of the highest order, she likes to pop in and out of blogland, one never really knows where she is, or isn't. Her posts are always a big surprise and a treat. Her comments are disabled for now, she just likes things well... the way she likes 'em! I admire that!
You can see my pic below ~ I've already printed my tags to use for what-nots (manilla folders cut in half/trim to fit for your printer). I've got a couple packages going out soon, I like them to be very special, so I putz with them a bit, to convey sincerity and warmth for each recipient, Holly's tags will be great on top. If you look closely you'll notice the sweet vintage sewing graphic, you can click on photo to enlarge.
(Plz excuse the bunny fingers)
You can grab Holly's freebies HERE. She won't care if you don't leave a thank you comment, but she does like to share her passion for graphics with others and likes followers. So, thx Holly, luv 'em!
If these tags aren't your style, as Ernestine in TV Land used to say ~Nevermind~ :) But you might just find some others you do fancy over at Olde Dame Penniwigs.
Hope you all had a warm February weekend filled with, of course... L o v e.
Tootles, Sue

THIS IS JUST GROSS...............
... don't ya think? It thinks it's a make-do liquor cabinet, but the dishwasher goes here. I'm chief dishwasher for now (grrrrrrr), and will remedy this eyesore soon today before the sunshine fades, WATCH OUT big fugly hole, I'm comin' after ya!
PRODUCT REVIEW ~ My new LOVE, tried this today...
... see the pretty scrapbook paper? Makin' more floss cards, use on paper, fabric, plastic, and more. If your craft supplies are lacking this great product, get your cutie patootie to Michaels, use your coupon, save, you'll be glad you did, it'll be there when you need it!
STITCHY ~ The little green tease from my last post is stitched, need to finish it, but the hole takes precedence!
FONTS ~ Huge thanks to Aubree/Meadows08 in Vancouver, BC who quickly responded to my plea for help regarding fonts. I like to think of her kind gesture like this: It is the best we can strive for isn't it ~ to help one another? Turns out I couldn't view fonts in Firefox, but when I launched IE everything became crystal clear:)
Natalia ~ you mentioned wanting further info about fonts, but I can't respond to *No-Reply* addresses. Your blog has great fonts, even your pretty signature:) Can you see them, are you using IE browser?
That should wrap it up for today, off to the hole:)

Hi All!
A quick hi and howdy-do welcome to my new followers, it's great to meet you, hope you're comfy here. My sincere thanks to those who sent birthday greetings on my last post, you're oh so kind don't ya know!
Bloggin ~ I've brightened my blog, cleaned up some broken links and in general it looks ok, plain and simple. The one thing that's really got me stumped is fonts, I've been through the template designer/advanced feature, but no luck, and I've spent all the time I care to fumbling around. Any tips on how to change fonts is appreciated, here or by email ( stitchinsweetsue at gmail dot com ), thx!
Stitchin ~ Started this last night, luvin this Zweigart Belfast Country Mocha (32) from Anita's Little Stitches, really nice mottling for prim stitchin, a definite all purpose stash staple at a good price, and appears to still be ON SALE. Anita is great, wonderful customer service, quick shipping, please don't hesitate to share your stash dollars with Anita.
No matter how hard I try, I seem unable to stray from primitive colors and design, what oh what shall I do? Well... I say follow my heart and play with stitchy software to break up the cobwebs of my *I've Had Enough Of Freakin' Winter!* mind. If you're maybe thinkin this is a Christmas design, please watch for the mystery reveal:)
Readin ~ Tanya/The Sampler Girl mentioned this book. I've finished it, and was reminded we are all very lucky we live in the present. I encourage all women to truly understand and appreciate what it meant when the 19th Amendment was ratified in 1920 (not so very long ago), giving all women a glimmer of hope for a future of their own choosing. As time marches on, generations multiply and we loose our elder women, it's easy to forget the way things were pre-1920. Stepping off my soapbox now lest you think I've got my bloomin' petticoats all in a bunch ~ LOL!
Please stay warm and have yourselves a Sweet Stitchin night:)

~ JUST ANOTHER DAY ~
Hi All,
Thanks to you who shared your favorite pie on my last post, just silly pie fun. To those of you working on BBD Anniversaries, I'm swooning over each and every one of them, gorgeous!
This rarely happens... might even be my first time ~ I've been in a stitchy funky dunk since the holidays, but to keep busy I managed this small, will need to primp it for sure, then decide what to do with it. Another blogger recently mentioned she never tires of flowers in urns, I happily agree with her.
Today is kinda my day, another (grrrrrrr) birthday, so I treated myself, enough to enjoy and maybe help with 'da funk!
If I weren't sooooooo overwhelmed with exactly how I could have possibly reached my ?0's, I'd share my age~lol! Tonight will be a quiet dinner with best friend a/k/a DH Steve:)
Thanks so much for taking the time to pop in, enjoy the rest of your week and Sweet Stitchin to You...
Tootles, Sue

~ TODAY IS... ~
... National Pie Day, yep - Sunday January 23rd, playoff day, and I almost missed it, shame on me.
Pie is very... well... popular, that's a fact. Don't think so? Log into your local library website, enter keyword *pie* and see what happens.
Honestly, this was the last book I read, just last month, a good story and very sweet:)
This is one of my many pie books, was on my Christmas wish list in 1992, golly, how pitiful that I still remember such a trivial thing! Bet Martha wished she knew then, what she knows now:) Yep, I'm pie helpless:)
If you're like me you bake pies, give pies, buy pies, eat pies, freeze pies, hide pies, offer pies in bribery, curse pie calories, collect pie cookbooks, read pie novels, visit all places pie and ~S W O O N~ LOVE PIE! Seriously, isn't life worth enjoying a pie once in a while?
Here's a couple of mine from previous posts, Tomato and Pineapple...
My forever favorite is my Dad's Grape Pie made with Finger Lakes grapes and loaded with sugar, my next favorite is my Aunt Barbie's Chocolate Cream Pie, it's the real kind-not from pudding mix, bleeeech!
What's your hot diggity dog favorite pie? The one that makes you weak in the knees, your temples pulse,
your glands salivate, the one that makes you drive for miles just for a sliver and gives you the BIG YUM.....
Pie have taken a real beating over the years, health-wise. So come on, don't be shy, you know you wanna profess your pie preference ~ leave your comment, blog about it, share a pie with someone you love, just PROCLAIM YOUR PIE!
Then, we'll have a 'lil quiz about which blogger favors which pie, sound good? LOL!
