It's the end of May and I haven't posted at all this month. Time to stop being lazy......and get back to blogging. I'm starting to get the sewing bug back and have bought several new penny rug patterns. I have been a sewer for many years... mostly quilting but have put it all on hold to concentrate on wool and penny rug candle mats. I have been given permission to make and sell items from many of the patterns that I have bought. There are a number of articles out there concerning copyright laws......I still don't understand the laws but have come to the conclusion that I personally must get permission from the designers before selling any items made from their patterns. Most of the designers are very nice and ask that I mention their name as being the designer. I totally agree with their request and always honor it. Designing is no easy task and I admire them for it. There is only one designer that has given me problems. And because of the frustration I feel in not being able to make and sell the items from her patterns (which are very lovely, I might add), has led me into thinking gee...maybe I need to get off my lazy rear and start designing. I already have a couple of my own designs that I sold on E-bay last year. My goal for this year is to make up the patterns and also to give tutorial on my blog. So check back to see how I'm doing. Promise to keep you updated.
As for that nutty cardinal he is still at the windows!!!!! My husband wants to try to catch him in a cage and take him far away so he can find another house to bother. Now that summer is here, he's here bright and early. Crazy bird.
I have four days off with the Memorial Holiday... yipee! Plan on going to the parade and also start planting the garden.
Have a Happy and Safe Holiday everyone!
