I finally got around to it. If you follow me on <a href="http://twitter.com/#!/dragonfliezmade">Twitter</a> or on <a href="http://www.facebook.com/dragonfliezcreationz">Facebook</a> You can see the picture that I sent from my Instragram account.</span><br /><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><br /></span><br /><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">Then I watched the season Finale of a couple of shows that I DVR'ed.

A la all the rolled felt flowers out there. I have never made something so easy. </span><br /><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">Just cut a circle, cut a spiral out of that circle and roll it. EASY! <a href="http://thehowtogal.blogspot.com/2010/07/girls-camp-craft-rolled-felt-flowers.html">How to Girl</a> has a great tutorial.

I was leaving class listening to the radio when I heard that the first plane had hit the tower. We all thought it was a joke, until the flames were coming out of the building. Racing home and running in the door yelling to my husband what had happened. He didn't believe me, as I turned on the Today show to listen to Katie Couric speak about what was happening. </span><br /><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">10 years ago, I remember thinking, go get the kids, and drive as far away as possible.</span><br /><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">10 years ago, I was still married to my first husband. I was in college. I wasn't happy with my life. </span><br /><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">10 years ago, I was trying to get out but with 2 children, no money it was a hard decision.</span><br /><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><br /></span><br /><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">It didn't happen.</span><br /><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><br /></span><br /><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">9 years ago, I was in a car accident that made me think about my life and realize I was not happy. Time to get out.</span><br /><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><br /></span><br /><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">Of course, we must never and can never forget the horror that happened. The pain of the victims. The pain and heart-wrenching silence when the towers fell. </span><br /><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">My way of dealing with this was to remember my Military training, patriotism and trusting in myself.</span><br /><span class="Apple-style-span" style="line-height: 12px;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><span style="border-bottom-width: 0px; border-color: initial; border-left-width: 0px; border-right-width: 0px; border-style: initial; border-top-width: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; outline-color: initial; outline-style: initial; outline-width: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;"><br /></span></span></span><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-9wiTv9Xa9Us/TmzX_U5zSrI/AAAAAAAAAcY/gtM24CQsv-A/s1600/Pentagon.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><img border="0" height="320" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-9wiTv9Xa9Us/TmzX_U5zSrI/AAAAAAAAAcY/gtM24CQsv-A/s320/Pentagon.jpg" width="187" /></span></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><br /></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">Never forget.</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><br /></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><br /></span></div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><br /></span><br /><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">Cherie</span>Dragonfliez Madehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11275073261214966083noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-103866419952907054.post-21289063023170087722011-09-01T12:27:00.000-04:002011-09-01T12:27:42.764-04:00Favicon!<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">Hello my dears,</span><br /><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">Sorry for the absences. I have not been too motivated to do anything once I get home. It is the beginning of the semester here at the college, so it is busy, busy time of the year. Which means I am tired. Then home to do homework with the Monkey Man. Do you know how hard it is to get a 7 year old boy to sit still to do math sheets, spelling and reading, then chores and you can't forget a snack when you get home. Which means my day begins at 5am and ends somewhere area 7pm. By then I am tired and don't want to do anything, much less get on the computer or behind a sewing machine.</span><br /><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><br /></span><br /><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">I had a free moment today to do a quick tutorial on a favicon. What is a Favicon you ask? <span class="Apple-style-span" style="background-color: white; line-height: 24px;">Favicons are the small 16 pixel by 16 pixel pictures you see beside some URLs in your browser’s address bar.</span></span><br /><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">The easiest and simplest way to do one is through a generator. It takes your favorite picture and shrinks it down to size.</span><br /><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><br /></span><br /><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">Find your favorite picture. Preferably one that goes with your blog.</span><br /><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><br /></span><br /><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">Then Go to <a href="http://www.favicon.co.uk/">http://www.favicon.co.uk/</a></span><br /><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">You can find multiple pages of already created favicons, but I prefer to have one that I like or did.</span><br /><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><br /></span><br /><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">Follow the directions to create it. Make a note of where you downloaded the favicon.</span><br /><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><br /></span><br /><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">Go back to Blogger, go to the Design and Click on Edit at the top of your elements</span><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"></div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><br /></span><br /><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><br /></span><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-mAiqB3he2cc/Tl-xDWxTTxI/AAAAAAAAAcM/CWDNylh8QLo/s1600/blog.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: black; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><img border="0" height="194" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-mAiqB3he2cc/Tl-xDWxTTxI/AAAAAAAAAcM/CWDNylh8QLo/s320/blog.JPG" width="320" /></span></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><br /></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">Upload your favicon and Save.</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><br /></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">Preview and make sure you can see your favicon in a browser.</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><br /></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">that is all for now!</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><br /></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">Cherie</span></div><br />Dragonfliez Madehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11275073261214966083noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-103866419952907054.post-22521136060287348582011-08-24T18:06:00.004-04:002011-09-15T14:28:47.578-04:00{organized}Hello My dears!<br /><br />I have been trying to get organized in my new sewing room. Slowly but surely. I have also promised myself I I would use only the materials I have on hand. No more spending unless needed for the rest of the year. Of course there may be that fabulous deal that I just will not be able to pass by ;-)<br /><br /><br />Starting with my thread organizer.<br /><div><br /></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-zdxTZJblllY/TlVzQgLZjOI/AAAAAAAAAb8/ufSbriJmKcE/s1600/023.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-zdxTZJblllY/TlVzQgLZjOI/AAAAAAAAAb8/ufSbriJmKcE/s320/023.JPG" width="240" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">It turned out very nice!</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">Want to see how?</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">You are going to need some peg board ( already on hand from the scrap pile at Home Depot), dowel rods, scissors, wood glue and a pair of needle nosed pliers and a marker.

Tis good... tis good!<br /><br />Did I ever tell you that my oven broke a couple of months ago. Well it did. Heating the oven, the element blew... literally. I can still use the stovetop and the broiler, but I haven't been able to bake anything in like two months.<br />Starting to get to the point where I am getting creative with dinners or using the grill a lot.<br />Did you know that you can cook french fries under the broiler? You have to set the rack low... but you can do it. And you get crispier french fries!<br />Now you ask, why haven't I fix it? Sheer laziness? Maybe. Part too expensive? Nah... only $40 Busy? well work from 0630 - 1430 monday thru friday, 25 minute drive to MonkeyMan's school to pick him up at 3:45. Carpool is ALWAYS SLOW! Closest parts store is 12 miles from house and closes daily at 5. I think it may be a time thing. But I seriously need to get it done. Especially after I saw this blog:<br /><a href="http://www.completelydelicious.com/2010/06/lemon-blueberry-scones.html"><img src="http://farm2.static.flickr.com/1276/4706905967_bfb52c7789.jpg" /></a><br /><a href="http://www.completelydelicious.com/2010/06/lemon-blueberry-scones.html">http://www.completelydelicious.com/2010/06/lemon-blueberry-scones.html</a><br /><br />Can we say a collective YUM?<br /><br />Guess I will need to take half a day before the semester starts back up.<br /><br />Hugs,<br />CherieDragonfliez Madehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11275073261214966083noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-103866419952907054.post-15114069427828930012011-07-19T13:12:00.000-04:002011-07-19T13:12:04.608-04:00JaxieHello my dears,<br /><br />Hope all of you are doing well.<br /><br />I on the other hand have been truly concerned for my kitty.<br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-esE4SQfbpXc/TiW4Jj0W1QI/AAAAAAAAAZY/hcET_-RQdbE/s1600/222286_10150178771969233_760724232_6580565_3500631_n.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="270" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-esE4SQfbpXc/TiW4Jj0W1QI/AAAAAAAAAZY/hcET_-RQdbE/s320/222286_10150178771969233_760724232_6580565_3500631_n.jpg" width="320" /></a></div><br /><br />So picture this; Sleeping the good Saturday morning sleep. You know the kind where you think you are suppose to be up, but realize you can sleep in because it is Saturday. Dozing, not quite sleeping, but just comfy and dozing. just falling back to sleep when BAM! you are awaken to wet feet. OK WHY ARE MY FEET WET?<br />Wrestle yourself out of the cocoon you have made for yourself and realize that your dear, sweet lovable Jax just peed on your bed. Not just a little bit, but a lot, soaking your feet through a duvet cover, comforter and a sheet. And it smells! Strong!<br />Not a good thing at 6:30am!<br />Only thing to do was throw a towel on the bed, because HandsomeMan was still sleeping and who am I to wake him because my cat peed on my side of the bed. ;-) then take a shower.<br /><br />Jax proceeded to hide for most of the day, only coming out of the closet (HA) to nibble on some food and get some water.<br />I don't think I even hear him scratching litter anywhere in the house. I have 3 litter boxes with 3 - 7 cats at any given moment.<br />Sunday I had a busy, busy day. Mother in laws, cleaning, and making the curtains for my room. Didn't even realize that my companion for most of my projects wasn't around until I went to look for him around 5.<br /><br />I found him in the closet, on top of my laptop bag. Red ears, warm to the touch and cowering when I went near him.<br />I scooped him up and took him to the office to sit so I could get a look at him.<br />Looking him over I saw that his ears when crusty. There were crusties in his eyes and he didn't seem to want to put any pressure on his paws.<br />Looking at his paws, I saw they were gray around the claws and pads. When I tried to get the mess off, I almost got bit. Jax never bites. NEVER. love bug. Something was wrong.<br /><br />Lizard and I decided that Jax's paws needed to be washed to see what was under the gray stuff.<br />Not a fun experience. Really Have you ever given a kitty a bath, even a cat that loves knocking over water bottles, cups and dishes. He just looked at me like "Why? Mommy? Why are you doing this?"<br />One soft toothbrush and dial soap later, most of the gray stuff off. Thank goodness!<br />Pads are a bit raw. but he can walk again.<br /><br />Into the isolation kennel he went until Vet visit scheduled for next day. Clean Litter, clean water and food.<br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-4LZMgotginA/TiW2FMovZsI/AAAAAAAAAZU/o-bHH-yx9UM/s1600/279923_10150271082114233_760724232_7301778_6598031_o.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-4LZMgotginA/TiW2FMovZsI/AAAAAAAAAZU/o-bHH-yx9UM/s320/279923_10150271082114233_760724232_7301778_6598031_o.jpg" width="239" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">Can you see how red his ears are?</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">Vet said Poor Jax has a bacterial infection.

Just too much going on with Mack moving in with her Dad.<br />Between work, sunburn and moving furniture into the sewing room it has been a rough couple of weeks.<br /><br />I did get some curtains done for my bedroom today.<br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-EU9pcmDZTkE/TiOQff2CumI/AAAAAAAAAWU/SmNGSCHZtlo/s1600/Projects+005.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-EU9pcmDZTkE/TiOQff2CumI/AAAAAAAAAWU/SmNGSCHZtlo/s320/Projects+005.JPG" width="240" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">Aren't they pretty?</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">Easy peasey too!</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">First buy a couple of flat sheets from Walmart. I think they are $5. Walmart had the only gray in the right tone that I was looking for.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">Then measure a fold about 6 inches from the bottom. Takes a bit of time to get it right as the edges weren't lining up correctly.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">The measure 3 inches on that same fold. I used a chalk pencil to create a sewing line as I can't sew straight unless it is a 1/4 inch seam.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">That pretty detail on the side is paint. Just find your self a nice stencil. Michael's had these on sale for like $2. and there are a bunch of them in the pack.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">I didn't mark how far down or how much space in between each stencil, just eyeballed it.

Hair is lighter and wavery from it. There is no taming it now. It is a HOT MESS.<br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-ppUM1gFuNrw/ThR4emUk40I/AAAAAAAAAVE/0ojlv8iyvn0/s1600/Picture0001.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="240" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-ppUM1gFuNrw/ThR4emUk40I/AAAAAAAAAVE/0ojlv8iyvn0/s320/Picture0001.jpg" width="320" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-eLpxjSg2KXI/ThR4fEZpuyI/AAAAAAAAAVI/9Wg9dywXXI8/s1600/Picture0005.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="240" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-eLpxjSg2KXI/ThR4fEZpuyI/AAAAAAAAAVI/9Wg9dywXXI8/s320/Picture0005.jpg" width="320" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">Got to love web cams.</div><br /><br />On a higher note, I found out that I won a giveaway from <a href="http://www.prettyhandygirl.com/2011/06/pretty-handy-girl-in-a-box-giveaway-and-on-being-40.html">Pretty Handy girl </a> Which is pretty awesome. And she lives in the same area as me. WOOT so I don't have to wait for the mail to get my prize. We are going to meet for coffee or dessert. I actually get to meet a fellow blogger, how cool is that?<br /><br />So, on to the crafty side. I know I have been very crafty lately. Too much going on. The girls father came back from a 2 year stint overseas, so they are with him for the next 2 weeks. Mack has decided to move in with her Dad, lets just say I am not very happy, but she made this decision on her own. And I get a craft room out of the deal. I know that sounds horrible. But what else am I going to do with the extra bedroom for the rest of the time.<br /><br />I did get bored and make some magnets, you know the ones you have been seeing all over blogland made out of the clear vase pebbles.<br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-8jutAULXm_A/ThR5uAIuMmI/AAAAAAAAAVM/vLuwz5aZcB8/s1600/012.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-8jutAULXm_A/ThR5uAIuMmI/AAAAAAAAAVM/vLuwz5aZcB8/s320/012.JPG" width="240" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">With some scraps of fabric, mod-podge, hot glue and some strips of magnets.

This is not fun when you have to cut round edges on the 1/2 inch pieces of magnets.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">They don't hold up much, but they sure are cute!</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">P.S.

Not a fun trip. Left one at the Fosters house as he was getting neutered this week and took another home.<br />Then off Thrifting with the MIL and Lizard.<br />Found some great baby clothes for $1 each. Score!<br />Dropped off some of Monkey Man's toys at the thrift store after cleaning his room. You never realize how many McDonald's toys a kid has until you dump out the toy box.<br />4 boxes of mega and duplo legos. Where did all this stuff come from!?<br /><br />On to Logan's for a good lunch and then Target for some shopping.<br />Have you seen Targets swimwear for Women? OMG sooo cute.<br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-5qjweh8TlrA/TgiQczsYhlI/AAAAAAAAAU4/BitEfyrGI_8/s1600/cover.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-5qjweh8TlrA/TgiQczsYhlI/AAAAAAAAAU4/BitEfyrGI_8/s320/cover.jpg" width="320" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">Look coverage for the Ta-tas and the tummy!

This tray caused me a bit of anxiety as it is multicolored, multilayers.<br /><br />Raye had a bowl that she requested a tray made to match after seeing all the others that I have done.<br />Teal, Gray and Silver.

I have had a H.E.L.L of A WEEK. I quit smoking 2 weeks ago, yes I know, filthy nasty habit. No more smell, no more stinky breathe! Wo0o0ot. But along with doing that my energy has been sucked into outer space. I have also been HUNGRY, like I haven't eaten in years. I have been trying to get myself back on a routine.<br />Thank you all for being patient.<br /><br />We have had a baby born at the beginning of the month. A little baby girl! So excited for my BIL and SIL. Little Miss will be spoiled like no other.We have already been banned from purchasing any more clothing for a while.<br /><br /><br />Last weekend I got a rush of energy and decided to craft as I was sitting at the craft table staring at all the projects that I wanted to do. The piles of fabric, the inspiration board. UGH!<br /><br />Out came No Sew Pillows<br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-5DADSfSrUJs/Tf-3elKy_LI/AAAAAAAAAUA/jXaLf7AM9Xg/s1600/no+sew+pillows.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="192" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-5DADSfSrUJs/Tf-3elKy_LI/AAAAAAAAAUA/jXaLf7AM9Xg/s320/no+sew+pillows.jpg" width="320" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">And they are just that. Open a seam in a placemat from Target clearance, stuff one of the pillow inserts in(also clearance at Target). Close up the seam with straight pins and add some fabric tac to said seam. Squeeze the seam closed, get glue all over your finger tips. Unpin it, trying not to pin yourself. And there you have a No sew pillow.</div>Great Color to add for summer.<br /><br /><br />Hugs,<br /><br />CherieDragonfliez Madehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11275073261214966083noreply@blogger.com3tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-103866419952907054.post-1230283688722355822011-06-07T20:52:00.000-04:002011-06-07T20:52:30.721-04:00Hoo Are you, Hoo Hoo?<div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">Welcome to Dragonfliez Creationz If you are visiting.

How often do you wash your vehicle?</span></div><div style="color: #783f04;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">2. When riding in a car with someone who usually drives, them or you?</span></div><div style="color: #783f04;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">3. How many states have you traveled to or through?</span></div><div style="color: #783f04;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">4. What kind of music do you listen to the most?</span></div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><span style="color: #783f04;">5. Do you prefer the window down or air conditioning? </span></span><br /><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #990000; line-height: 25px;"><span style="color: #783f04;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><br /></span></span></span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #990000; line-height: 25px;"><span style="color: #783f04;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><br /></span></span></span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #990000; line-height: 25px;"><span style="color: #783f04;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">1. Probably not as often as I should. Maybe once every few months. With the weather changes here in the south and the pollen outbreak that we have had this spring, the Dodge has only gotten a real bath 2 times.</span></span></span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #990000; line-height: 25px;"><span style="color: #783f04;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">2.

I have been through most of them from I40 west to Colorado and Florida I95 to New York.</span></span></span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #990000; line-height: 25px;"><span style="color: #783f04;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">4. Whatever is on the radio, mostly pop, alternative mix. Though I like a variety of music. You should here my Pandora mixes.</span></span></span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #990000; line-height: 25px;"><span style="color: #783f04;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">5. Depends on the weather and how fast we are going. If we are in the city and it is spring weather, windows down. A/C if we are in the highway. But I do love the top down in the Jeep.</span></span></span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #990000; line-height: 25px;"><span style="color: #783f04;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><br /></span></span></span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #990000; line-height: 25px;"><span style="color: #783f04;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">Hugs!</span></span></span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #990000; line-height: 25px;"><span style="color: #783f04;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">Cherie</span></span></span></div>Dragonfliez Madehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11275073261214966083noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-103866419952907054.post-69708410489405994432011-06-06T13:00:00.002-04:002011-06-10T11:48:22.470-04:00Lizard Made a dressHello my dears,<br /><br />So Lizard was watching a video the other day on how to make a dress.
