I found a new artist I am drooling over on Etsy and just had to share. Within a few minutes of browsing the shop I felt like I was stepping into vintage style bakeries and sweet shops.
The shop is Jenny's Bake Shop.

PB&J Love and Pink Dinosaur
Just wanted to post a sneak peek at my next cross stitch projects. Well two of them. I have about 3 right now I am working on. I go back and forth.
The start of my PB&J cross stitch. This is just a ruff draft. I'll have it all filled in/etc. hopefully. I'll be adding a heart as well. I'm thinking of adding in felt eyes and a mouth but not sure yet.
This is my Pink Dinosaur so far. It turned into a big project for me so I am going back to smaller projects in between. Why I am working on 3 projects at once. Something else I am kicking myself for is I ran out of the light pink thread. I have tons of different shades of pink but not this one PLUS I can't find the number for the thread I was using. I think I'll just go with another pink color and see how it looks. Crossing my fingers on that one.
My other one is a slice of strawberry cake that will have the words, "Let Them Eat Cake." No picture of that one yet. So far I just drew it out on the fabric I am using.

Trip and More Halloween Ideas
More then likely this will be my last post for a little bit. I leave on Saturday to go back home to IL. I'm excited to see my parents and sister. Have a few old friends I will be seeing.
I will be bringing along a few projects to work on and convincing my sister to bring her own so we can craft together. My mom informed me of a new fabric store in the area so I will be visiting that. I usually like to buy fabric scarps to work with. I do want to work on a quilt one day but if you read in my past posts I really do fail at the sewing machine right now.
I will miss my guinea pigs and Nick.
Here is a few more Halloween Ideas:
Here is awesome Halloween patterns you can use as garlands or gift tags. Both patterns and directions found at Paper Crave's website.
NOTE: I am not much of a artist so it always delights me when someone else does the artwork and offers free patterns/etc.
Here is some always Fall/Halloweenish tags you can find at Lolly Chops website. The website has a wide range of tags like these so you can easily find one for every holiday or occasion.
