A Sweet Getaway

-
We are in Hershey, Pa
the the State Fair Convention.
You have to love a place that drops
Hershey kisses
like confetti!

Hershey kisses on the wallpaper

Hershey bars at check-in.
Chocolate, everywhere.
Does it get any better than this?

Dinner, last night.
Wish that I would have taken a picture of the dessert.
Death, by chocolate!

There is quite the story leading up to the departure for this trip.
"Normal" chaos of life.
and then
a speeding ticket along the way.
All put behind
out of mind
and
now time to relax
and
enjoy!

Yesterday was spent
with a
friend that I do
not get to see enough.

It was so nice to catch up.
Why
didn't I take any pics of us together?

Hi Cathy, So glad you are away and enjoying yourself. Sure would love to trade hotels with you. Although I don't need a smidgen of chocolate, I would love to be in Hershey, PA. Have always wanted to visit. Catching up with a friend is a great way to spend your time. Have a good and safe trip. Great picture of you and the mister.

Oh YUM! I love that place!! Such a neat town, love the kiss lights on the old-fashioned lamp posts. I have seen the lodge and it is gorgeous! Chocolate is definitely a great way to forget all the chaos. Enjoy your time there!

Walker/Wheelchair Bag Tutorial

Some of you asked for this. This is literally one of the EASIEST, most appreciated projects that I have ever made. I timed myself while I made this one and it was finished in under 1/2 hour and that included refilling bobbins, taking pictures, and searching the button box for two matching buttons. They are even faster if 1.) you don't do all of the above and 2.) you make them on an assembly line. Step 1. Cut a piece of fabric for the straps 4 inches wide by 14 or so inches long. If you have a very lightweight fabric, you can double it or use press on interfacing to back it. Step 2. Cut two coordinating rectangles approximately 12 to 15 inches by 15 to 18 inches. This is very loose, you can use vary the size of them. Pin those together on the bottom and halfway up the sides. Step 3. Press the 4 inch rectangle in half lengthwise with wrong sides together and sew around raw edges, then zig - zag the edge. If the fabric frays really bad, you can go over it again. Step 4

Sharpie Markers and Alcohol = Really Quick Art

What a fun, creative process!  Grab all those sharpies that are hidden in your desk drawer. Find that bottle of rubbing alcohol. (Vodka or hand  sanitize might work, you can always experiment) Dig out a canvas,  or go buy some,  nothing like having some blank canvases hanging around.  Draw some wild and crazy lines. Fast and not a lot of planning work best.  Hit it all with some alcohol.  Allow it to move and blend.  I use a brush for the alcohol,  You could use a spray bottle or eye dropper,  I just want a little more control on mine.  And re-outline with a black sharpie!   That's it!  Fast Art!  I will be teaching this next Friday along with two other  fun projects in Mayville, New York.  For more info go to: https://www.facebook.com/ARTRetreatatthelake
