Pink Saturday Time

A new pink bangle bracelet I made this week using
turquoise silk ribbon, angelina fibers, and a raspberry pink felt flower.

I added sparkly yarn around it.



Only fits a small wrist, like a little girl's size wrist.



Sprinkled on some of Martha's fabulous glitter
called "Kunzite Tinsel Glitter"...love this kind.
Find it here




Love these large PINK buttons on their original card.






An ATC featuring my grandmom as a little girl. She always seemed so happy to me. Never traveled far, a homebody, loved her family, her church, and was always busy. She embroidered, cooked, tatted, crocheted, and was the best housecleaner I've ever seen(I don't take after her). When she got old and my grandfather died, she came to live with us for several years before she passed away. I was a teenager and we would play Scrabble, canasta, Gin rummy, and
other cards games. We were such good friends. I miss her. She taught me to enjoy the simple things. Her pies were the best!!!

Happy Pink Saturday everyone!
