Latest Posts:Zoho Writer: FREE Program For PDF FilesA few pattern makers on a Prim Forum I belong to asked how they could turn their paper patterns into PDF files for Epatterns. I mentioned that I do mine on a FREE program called Zoho Writer. They checked out the link but were a little overwhelmed by the program. While I don't pretend to know everything about it, I have used it a number of times for my own e-patterns and wrote up some instructions on how I use it.

Brilliant Weblog Award
My "Arte Y Pico" Award From Linda Walsh
This is what Linda had to say: NeeNee has a terrific sense of humor, wonderful spirit, enormous creative talent, and generosity beyond compare. NeeNee always has time to help whoever asks or whoever she encounters who needs help. She is an amazing woman and I remain her #1 fan! I am very touched and honored that Linda would think of me to be one of the 5 bloggers she felt was deserving of this award. Linda, thank you so very much. And since your dear mother and husband are your # 1 fans, I'll be happy to take the #2 place fan spot, but still consider YOU 'The Blogging Queen' #1. The "Arte y Pico" award was created and to be given to bloggers who inspire others with their creative energy and their talents, whether it be writing, artwork in all media's. When you receive this award it is considered a "special honor". Once you have received this award, you are to pass it on to at least 5 others. I have to choose 5 bloggers that I consider deserving of this award for their creativity, design, posts, and contribution to the blogging community. The rules are as follows: 1) You have to pick 5 blogs that you consider deserving of this award, creativity, design, interesting material, and also contributes to the blogger community, no matter the language. 2) Each award has to have the name of the author and also a link to his or her blog to be visited by everyone. 4) Award-winning and the one who has given the prize have to show the link of "Arte Y Pico"blog, so everyone will know the origin of this award. 5) To show these rules. It was very hard to pick and choose only 5 bloggers deserving of this award, but it's all I'm allowed. These are my chosen few: 1) Tina Grimes - The Junction Journal Tina is a very warm and giving person. She's a talented crafter, writer, and she freely provides information for small business owners with tips, information and many resources to help them with running their websites. 2) Jany - Look In The Nook Blog I'm an admirer of Jany's gorgeous art work, mainly her water colors ( this painting is one of my favorites. Just looking at this painting brings a smile to my face. It's serene, comforting, beautiful and Jany's attention to detail is brilliant. Jany is also a crafter and a sculptress who brings her primitive folkart creations to life with her talent. 3) Ronalyn - A World Of Creativity Blog I really enjoy browsing Ronalyn's blog. She features unique handcrafted items and the artists who created them. From sock monkeys, beautiful watercolor paintings, handcrafted wood furniture, handmade handbags, polymer clay sculptures, jewelry designers, handcarved wooden boxes to gorgeous little crochet baby booties. Ronalyn writes very interesting articles on the artists and showcases their work beautifully. 4) Karen - Graphics Fairy Blog Karen offers for 'free' hundreds of wonderful Vintage clip art images that may be used for any project, whether personal or for resale. Her only TOU is that if you use these images on a blog or website, that you credit her and link to her site. Now that isn't too much to ask at all, is it? Karen has an awesome 'gallery' of clip art: Vintage labels, angels and fairies, advertising, calling cards, animals - both farm and domestic, old photos, Vintage wallpaper and much more. I know that alot of crafters are always looking for this type of art for their projects for commercial use. Thanks for sharing Karen! I enjoy reading about life with Shannon. One particular post that had me smiling was when Shannon's dad cut her bangs and forgot to put the scissors out of reach. Like any other child, Shannon got the scissors and proceeded to give herself a 'little' trim on the top as well, and according to Carol, there wasn't much hair left! Shannon may be a 'special needs child' but she is happy, well adjusted, won 'student of the month' at school and had her photo in the newspaper. She's special because she has the capacity to love everyone and everyone loves her. It comes across in Carol's writing, how much her child means to her. There are hundreds of bloggers out there who are also deserving of the Arte Y Pico Award, so keep on blogging, you never know when you will be chosen next! An AwardI was recently presented with the Arte Y Pico award for my creativity, design, blogs posts, and contributions to the blogging community by Linda Walsh of Linda Walsh Originals Blog. I in turn, must present 5 bloggers whom I feel are also deserving with this award and post them here. I'm really 'late' in getting this done as I need to go through my favorite blogs and choose only five bloggers. This is tougher than it seems. lol **Weekend Sale**Get 15% off any item at KKL Primitives or Allegheny Primitives I've Been Tagged By DianeBI've been tagged by http://aprimitivejourney.blogspot.com/ Be Sure To Check Side Bar For FreebiesIf you are a reader of my The Krazy Kraft Lady Blog, you may already know that I've listed some FREE patterns to download on the site.

New Item Listed May 15th - Prim Chenille Sheep & Crow Please click on photo to view larger imageJust listed this 'new' version of Caswell The Prim Sheep with his best bud The Crow at KKL Primitives. This time, Caswell has a pocket made from a stained quilt piece. I've stuffed an olde thread spool, some Sweet Annie and some red pip berry sprays into the pocket. The Crow is perched on Caswell's back, he goes everywhere Caswell goes. The Crow has been painted, stained, sanded, & rubbed with cinnamon. His eyes are French knots and he's wearing a rusty collar with 2 rusty bells attached. The ends of the wire are 'curled'. New Listing - Caswell Prim Sheep Pillow Please click on photo to view larger image I still have a lot of chenille bedspread left after making the first Caswell Americana Sheep. I didn't realize how popular he was and only made one of him, but I've received a couple emails asking if I planned to make any more, so the answer is a big YES! I've already cut out the chenille and will start to stitch him up tonight. Right now though I just finished this 'pillow' of Caswell. It measures 15 inches wide by 10 1/2 inches high. If you don't want to use it as a pillow on your bed or sofa, you can prop him up on a shelf! I left the chenille the original color instead of staining it. I did however tea stain the star and handstitched the word WOOL on it. I've also used Mod Podge to glue on the sparkly 'snow flurries'. I was going to glue on either mica flakes or German glass glitter but opted instead for the flurries. Caswell Prim Sheep pillow is listed at KKL Primitives.

Just Listed - Watermelon & Crow This cute 'lil crow perched upon his juicy watermelon slice has just been listed on my Allegheny Primitives site, just in time for Spring and Summer.Announcing New ShoppeI've had the opportunity to open another website and I've named it Allegheny Primitives. I live in the Allegheny Mountains of Pennsylvania, in Allegheny County and thought that was an appropriate name. I'm still keeping KKL Primitives, AP is just another site for me to add my crafts to. Hope my 'fans' will bookmark that site as well. There are only a few items listed right now, but I plan to start crafting again this week and will be adding new items to both sites. |
