Singer Sewing Machine Free Graphic...

As I typed the title, I realized it could suggest a sewing machine or a musical artist.

I think we will stick with the sewing machine for now :)

I don't know about you, but I like to be a "singer" but only when I drive :) Kyla and I took a trip to Northern Idaho last weekend. The car was filled with music the whole way there and back. Sometimes, you just need to surround yourself with music and sing! Other times you need to surround yourself with bright fun fabrics and let the machine sing!

Enjoy :) you can click the image to download it or click "here" to download the file.

Who Wants Ice Cream?

Happy Tuesday!

It's been awhile since I have posted a free digi. Hope you are still checking in every now and then.

After I get my drawing and coloring fix, I am hoping to make a few new sets for Etsy and some more fun things to offer here. Fingers crossed that I get to it :)

Can You Hear Crickets...

Hi All,

Is January over yet? This really hasn't been my favorite month.

Between sickness, death, dreary days, and just all round "blah" I am ready to be moving on.

Spring is calling :)

There will be a freebie listed tomorrow. I had some ready to be worked up, and then forgot about them in all the chaos. They are still just sitting on my computer. Waiting to be finished. They were snow related. Hopefully I get to them before it's spring and I am drawing flowers :)

I did take some time to draw and color this past week. This picture was in my favorites over on Deviant Art. I really wanted to color something, so I drew it out on some 14 x 17 bristol paper and then colored it with Copic markers.

Today I matted it and now one of my art students will build it a frame. I am giving him the original :) I will probably get another photo of it or a scan and then make some prints for my nieces and anyone else who wants one.

I also started another drawing of some animals swimming in a pond. My niece requested it last spring and I am finally getting to it.

Here's to the end of January!!

Always,

Rhoda

Some Mini Crafty...

This weekend I switched things up a bit.

Not a ton.

Just a bit.

Kyla and I went and browsed the fabric store and found some fun Valentine fabrics. I have a friend who is a photographer and is getting ready to start her Valentine Mini Sessions. I got to be crafty and make some props for her :)

My craft table was covered. Things were piled. The sewing machine was whirring.

Here is what I created:

It's a mini session kit. Things can be mixed and matched, or used all together. Fun!! I also made a set for my Etsy shop. If you take photos or know someone who does this kit will be a fun way to add some pizzaz to the sessions :)

It was nice to be creative this weekend, and nice to be creative in a different way.

Happy January!

You Can Do It...my version

I read this post, by Beth, a while back: You Can Do It...

And I started my own list. Then it just sat on my desktop. Up in the corner. Staring at me.

The idea was that I would add to it as my "Rhoda-isms" struck me.

Well. They have been really quiet lately.

Here's what I have:

• Do something nice, just because you can, not because you should. "The good you do today will often be forgotten. Do good anyway."
• If it is worth doing, it is worth doing to the best of your ability. 
• Besides "always kissing me goodnight" please be sure to continue touching when you roll over to fall asleep.
• Cherish the little things, they add up to be the big things.
• An instant can change your life.
• Don't strive for perfection. Strive to be the best "you" possible!
• You can't always get what you want, and that's probably for the best.
• Spend time doing what you enjoy. Not because you think you should, but because you truly want to.
• Create beautiful things, because you can.
• Breathe, and know, that this too shall pass.

There are many more, I'm sure. But they are the type of deep thoughts that strike while I am driving. My "ah-ha" moment...and then it's gone when I park the car. No chance to write it down or make note of it.

Happy Sunday!

A Hug or A Gift

Morning,

This morning's little freebie is a sweet hedgehog. I was originally going to put a gift in his hands...but then decided to leave that up to you.

Is he giving a hug?

A gift?

I don't know...that all depends on how you decide to incorporate him into your project:

100 Things...

Morning,

It's been awhile. We have been busy.

The good part of busy was we were spending a lot of family time together.

Time watching movies.
Time going for walks.
Time just being silly.

School. We have been super busy with school as well. A few weeks ago I gave my english class a lesson that was both writing and some creative art. I had them write a fancy title and then fill in the paper with images and words, listing 100 things they love.

I'm sharing my title with you...and then you get to be creative and find a way to color it and list your 100 things:

I've made a 100 things list a few times. It's fun to see the way it changes, or the the things you love the most each time you list them. There are way more than 100 things that I could list...but it's a nice start :)

Fall Back...

Happy November!

Winter has arrived for us. We turned back our clocks and the snow started falling.

Bring on cuddles, blankets, coffee and books!

The leaves were beautiful this fall...that's probably my favorite part of fall...that and scarecrows :)

Enjoy this week's freebie. Should be super fun to color! You can right click and save the image, or click "here" to download it.

Happy Fall Ya'all

Black Cat Crossing...

It's only two nights until all the little ghouls and goblins are running around. Mine are right at the edge of that stage. They like the idea of dressing up and the candy, but they also don't think it is as fun as it used to be.

I can't say that I am going to miss the scramble for costumes when they can't decide what they want.

Our candy problem was solved years ago. I take my kids out trick or treating and then they sort out what they like the most. Whatever is left goes into the "out bowl". We hand it all back out to the other monsters.

Saves me money, and we don't have candy floating around the house until Christmas.

Beware the black cats while you are out tromping around :)

Have a safe and fun night!

Beware the Full Moon...

A full moon probably wouldn't be so scary if all werewolves were as cute and cuddly looking as this one!
