Lately I have been enjoying creating handmade master pieces away from my sewing machine.  There is something special about holding a needle and fabric in my hands and making something truly beautiful.  I love that my mom blessed me with the knowledge of how to do this.

I am playing around with different fabrics and different shapes a well.  I have something special planned for a big reveal this weekend.  In the mean time.  Please visit my etsy shop and see all the wonderful flower pins. Handmade by Andrea Baker

This necklace is on the cover of our catalog. I fell in love with this set as soon a I laid eyes on it! The fresh water pearls are stunning in this set. And the circles are divine!

All three of these pieces can be found on page 43 of our 2009-2010 Sail Away to Yesterday Catalog.

The clasp on the necklace is a spring clasp. The necklace its self measures 17 inches. The clasp on the bracelet is a toggle clasp and the bracelet measures 8 inches.

Would you like to get this look for yourself? How about earning it?

I am available for online parties. They are simple, fun and the best part is there is no clean up involved!! Contact me today. Inspiranza Designs

Our Challenge for this week was Yellow.  The family and I packed up in the car this Saturday and headed for the Park Of Roses.  Not very many of the flowers had bloomed yet.   We had a good day out together.

Check out more Sunday Stills.

UPDATE-  I received many posts wondering how I was able to accomplish my photos.  I use two free services, one is called Picasa and the other is called Photoscape.  You can google both of these and get the free downloads.  I also used Jasc Paint Shop Pro to split the photo into three sections.  From there I used Picasa to create the black and white and targeted color.  I did that to all three sections and then took them back into the  PSP to unite the photos again.  From there I took it to Photoscap and did the framing.  I hope this helps answer any questions.  I truly appricate all the comments that I receive on my photos.

Looking for a note card set? Look no further! I have created these adorable embossed note cards for your writing pleasures!

This is a great card to say thank you. A whimsical bird with flowing flowers embossed in a distressed green and the words Thank You embossed in a shiny gold. There is also an added embellishment of a pink circle with the YOU on it. Both the words and the bird have been embossed with a heat gun process.

The inside of the card is left blank for you to fill with your thoughts and personal message.
