Graduation and Teacher Gift Printables - End of the School Year Goodies!

Image
 Here it is, Maycember! Once the month of May starts it quickly snowballs into a continuous stream of concerts, recitals, final games, awards ceremonies, graduations and parties! It's almost too much, and yet, how could it be too much? This is it! This is what it's all for! All the hard work of going to school and taking the tests and practicing the piece and dreaming of the celebration, this is the culmination of all that effort!  Over of the years, as I've prepared teachers' gifts and graduation cards to use, I've saved the printable files to use again in the future or make available for others as well.  Here are some of my favorites: I like these green flowers and the Pink & White cookies at Trader Joe's. I thought they made a nice little bundle for either Teacher Appreciation week or a thank you at the end of the year (if you can keep the cookies around long enough!) Two color options available in case you are low on ink!  LINK TO LISTING Cowboy Caviar f...

who will be the next fabric design star? pick me!

Ranunculus, a desktop and phone wallpaper for todaysmama.com

Ranunculus a repeating pattern which can be printed at Spoonflower fabric.

For my birthday this year, my little ones gave me some ranunculus. They didn't last long, but I immortalized them in a drawing which I then made into downloadable desktop wallpaper for todaysmama which then got made into a repeating design for fabric which was then entered into a fabric design contest on Spoonflower and was subsequently chosen as one of 100 semifinalists from which 8 finalists will get to design a fabric line from which one lucky/talented artist will get to produce a line of fabric for Robert Kaufman fabrics!  Was that the longest, run-on sentence ever?

Let me sum up, my fabric design is in a contest and I need your vote!  See details and vote here! You can vote for as many designs as you like! There are so many beautiful choices, don't just pick mine, pick a bunch! I would love, LOVE, L-O-V-E to design fabric, it would be a dream come true! The tagline for the contest says, "Who will be the next fabric design star?" Um, pick me, pretty please!

Voted! I put ranunculus as one of my favorite flowers on my info sheet for teacher appreciation week. Needless to say, I didn't get any. They are seemingly hard to come by. You're a lucky lady. :)

hospital buddies

Remember Lucy's hospital doll she named Birdie ? Well, we had a service project with the children's group at church a couple weeks ago and made a bunch of dolls just like Birdie to donate to Primary Children's Medical Center. They will go to future patients there and hopefully bring the same amount of love and comfort Birdie brought to Lucy. At our activity, we had 12 kids who stuffed, stitched, hemmed and dressed a total of 34 dolls! Patterns for dolls and robes can be found here: Doll A , Doll B , Robe A , Robe B . Download all four.

if these old walls could speak. . .

. . . they'd tell fantastic stories of medieval court life and dragons and castles! I just saw these fantastic shadow puppets at Kate's Paperie but of course they are sold out! Wouldn't it be fun to make some though? Lucy's into pirates these days. . . I could design a set of pirate shadow puppets. . . add that to the list of projects I would love to do but probably never will. Seriously.
