Monogram and Personalized
One of my many pastimes is putting a name on it. I love monograms and bows. I love the extra touches of personalization. I decided to venture out with an online store. I want to share some of the designs I am using this spring. The bunnies were a hit and with summer is nearly here, the hibiscus decals are the rage. There is a new item called LIFE theme and it is used on tee shirts and totes. I am just learning how to create these designs.

Please enjoy the designs and share with fellow crafters.
Easter, which celebrates Jesus Christ’s resurrection from the dead, is Christianity’s most important holiday. It has been called a moveable feast because it doesn’t fall on a set date every year, as most holidays do. Instead, Christian churches in the West celebrate Easter on the first Sunday following the full moon after the vernal equinox on March 21. Therefore, Easter is observed anywhere between March 22 and April 25 every year. 
It’s spring! Fresh flowers are the best and easiest accents for Easter. They make a table come alive. There are so many table linens and napkins in spring colors. It is hard to choose. 
Bring the fresh look of spring to the dining table. Easter says pinks, yellows, lilacs, lively greens, little rabbits, chicks and jellybeans. Just displaying one large bunny with a bouquet of daffodils says SPRING has arrived. Once you add festive dishes and linens, all is left is the menu. And that is easy. A make ahead breakfast casserole with fresh fruits and cheese can be prepared the night before. You are able to celebrate Sunrise Service and be back home in time for an easy morning brunch. Check out these table settings for ideas. The simple tulips in lavender colors with the colored eggs are so pretty. For more ideas, please visit

Traveling long distances alone is fun. The phone is off. You have your own music or book playing. You take the back roads to your destination. You stop along the way at a local diner and have their special for lunch. And they will always have sweet tea and chocolate pie on the menu. It may take twice as long to arrive, but you actually feel rested from your drive. 
Who doesn’t love a great Southern read ? Our Southern culture offers stories of tall tales to romantic spins and mysteries unsolved. If you’re from the South, the fictional characters of any southern book seem familiar . You either have an uncle, cousin or close family member that resembles the story being told. Stories of southern families resonates with you because you have lived the story. How many times have you heard your Mother say, I could write a book. Yep, in the South , we do love our manners and airing dirty laundry is not allowed. It’s just not Southern. 
Transferware and flowers. I love the combination. Nothing speaks as elegant as redwedge and roses. Transferware has been used in Southern homes since the big plantations of 1800’s. It is a carry over from England. The transfer-printing technique, was developed in England in the eighteenth century .The process permits the application of a printed decoration, using copper plates and tissues onto pottery, china, chintz. English transferware became extremely popular in the United States , a fact that British potters embraced. A number of the major tableware firms produced goods exclusively for the American market. Specific colors, in particular pink and dark blue were exclusively produced for export to America. Even today a small area in the north of Stafford County, England, remains the pottery capital of the world.

The purple-leaf shamrock is a low-growing foliage plant for the garden that also makes an attractive indoor plant with its rich, vibrant, purple leaves. The dark colors blend well and accent the colors of spring flowers. The touch of dark lavender among the bright yellows and whites and blues make a soft contrast in spring floral arrangements. To jumpstart the growth of the shamrock in the spring, you need to start in January.
