welcome all you pink ladies to another round of pink pics! below is a chinese pincushion that belongs to my sister. he looks like he's struggling to hold on!!

this is another crocheted purse done in pink. i think next time i'll make it narrower.

my two grandbabies having fun for the fourth in a pink pool. my granddaughter is so very cautious and my grandson doesn't care if he falls forward in the water. they're both starting to crawl right now so that means constantly clean floors!!

ya'll all have a wonderful pink saturday-i'm off to go scrapbooking!!

leeville signs

leeville signs, originally uploaded by suesueb.

the owners of the yacht that used to moor here traveled through the gulf for years and collected hard hats from rigs, driftwood, ring buoys, and nailed it all to the boatshed walls. the wife painted these signs and hung them everywhere in the shed because they lived in the yacht and had fixed up the shed as a home too. they were fun, interesting people and my kids all have fond memories of the times they shared with them. now the shed is a skeleton but the signs and other collections still remain as a reminder of the two "sailors" we once knew. to see some of the other signs visit my flickr page.

just getting back from a small vacation in sandestin, florida. it was unbelievably gorgeous. this was my view from the balcony of my room. i could see water for miles and miles!!

the umbrellas that the boys put up on the beach every morning look like mushrooms that bloomed in the early morning mist. those guys work hard!

this picture was done by a local artist. all his work is done on wood and he cuts out the frames to match the theme of the painting. it's so bright and bold! i loved all the pictures.

this cab was also neat! if you look closely you'll see all the writing and pictures. his license plate says "artcab".

hope you enjoyed the second-hand view! 

pink Saturday

i am so excited to be the owner of this new bike! i've wanted one for quite a while but really didn't want something ordinary and i couldn't afford a vintage one. the great thing about living in a small town is the fact that so many places are right there. i got the basket years ago and it fits right on without a problem. even though the bike is pink--this is one of my green solutions!

i'm also showing off my pretty pink gardening gloves-which, unfortunately, are still very new looking. it's been so hot and i've been so lazy about the weeds.  they'll get used eventually.

please visit the other pink posts today hosted by beverly. 

p.s. if you scroll down i made a dress for my granddaughter that has pink in it. i can't wait to see it on her!

vintage sheet swap fat quarter dress

vintage sheet swap fat quarter dress, originally uploaded by suesueb.

another dress for georgia kate. i made this one from vintage sheet fat quarters. my favorite colors. i got the pattern tutorial from a link from a sweet friend who makes the most adorable things. check out the flickr group and follow the links and you can make one too!!

a new dress for georgia

last week i made this dress for my granddaughter-georgia kate) and i used the small size on the pattern (for 12-15 lbs.) but it's a little too big. i think i'll use some of my fat quarters from the vintage sheet swap and try again, maybe add some rickrack (cause i love it!) and ruffles (cause they're so sissy and so is she already). kids' clothes are so much fun to sew. they don't worry about their tummy sticking out or their arm flab showing. now i need to find something to make for gabe, my grandson. below is the detail with a yo-yo bow. aren't the colors wonderful? i used perle cotton to hem the bottom and do a detail stitch around the bodice. 

i went see mamma mia this weekend and thought it was wonderful! i love the singing and dancing, i love the villa, the linens, the beach!! if i could get on a plane tomorrow and go to greece i would, but it'd have to be that particular island. the scenery is absolutely spectacular, go see it if you can.

good morning! happy pink saturday again sponsored by how sweet the sound. please take the time to visit everyone and say have a great pink day.

 first is a picture of the fat quarters i received from my fat quarter sheet swap with oh fransson. there is a little pink in there! i absolutely love all the pieces and have already pulled some out for a dress for my granddaughter.

these pinks are from an order from sweet n shabby roses on etsy. the sheet music and other goodies are darling. i received the order so fast and it was wrapped so sweetly. you won't be dissapointed if you order from her. there were 39 pages of music and vintage books.

this is one of the book sheets from my order. cute kids.

could someone help me about the problem i keep having with underlining? sometimes my posts are underlined and i have to keep hitting my font key to uncheck underline but it doesn't always work. very, very frustrating!!!!
