Party Ideas – Mid Life Crisis

by

This Party is from WantsandWishesDesign.com and is Fabulous. (Pun Intended)

Every night at around 9 pm when my children refuse to close their eyes or they tell me they are hungry or thirsty or need to wee – I sit and plan out my Mid Life Crisis. I think about all the things I would rather be doing . Basically my (pathetic) mid life crisis will consist of sleeping and watching British T.V programs. The two things I no longer do in life.

When I do decide to lose the plot and embark on the journey of “My Mid Life Crisis” I think I will throw a party. In fact I will be 35 this year and as my dear friend keeps reminding me, that is half way to 70. Which means that a “Mid Life Crisis” party might be closer than I think.

All of the items are available in their NEW SHOP- WantsandWishesDesign.com. They also have a non Midlife Crisis option- Welcome to my fabulous Birthday Party.

Free Poinsettia Embroidery Design Review

If you’re putting together Christmas sewing projects, this free Poinsettia embroidery design from Ann The Gran is a really handy one to save. It’s a machine embroidery design from Contributor, sized at 3.64″ x 3.67″, with 14,949 stitches, and it fits a 4″ x 4″ hoop. It’s also offered in a wide range of formats including ART, DST, EXP, HUS, JEF, PCS, PEC, PES, SEW, VIP, and XXX.

What I like about this one is that it feels classic and easy to use. A poinsettia always works at Christmas, and because this design is fairly compact, it would be lovely on napkins, tea towels, gift bags, table runners, or even the corner of a festive cushion. It has enough detail to look pretty, but it’s still small enough to be practical. That last bit is my take based on the listed size and the preview image on the page.

It’s one of those good stash-building freebies. Not huge, not fussy, and very easy to picture on all sorts of holiday projects. If you like collecting free Christmas embroidery designs, this one is definitely worth downloading. Ann The Gran also tags it with keywords like Xmas, Flower, and Floral embroidery designs, which fits the style nicely.
