    Hi there. I’m a blogger/mommy of a 3 year old self-professed princess and 5 year old (very humble) boy/obsessed party planner. I have a shop on Etsy where I sell digital printables and printed party supplies…everything from water bottle labels and invitations to lottery/scratcher tickets. I began my shop on Etsy about a year ago when my crazy stay-at-home mommy friends began to inundate me with requests for their parties. It occurred to me that I may be able to support my habit by offering my creations to others. I have a second website at http://www.sonkissedcreations.net, however, I’m still in the process of adding my products.

    My babies and surfer hubby keep me quite busy so I found it easier to stick with digital products, however, I have been trying my hand at other craft projects. I’m currently working on a Cinderella party for the little diva and a Monopoly themed party for my bubba (PJ), which I’m suuuuper excited about!

    I love Pinterest, Etsy, cross-stitching, writing poetry, and long walks on the beach at sunset. I’m a huge fan of the San Diego Chargers, though they continue to break my heart on an annual basis. I spend quality time updating my demon-possessed cat’s Facebook page on a regular basis and I’m actually convinced he leads a more exciting social life than I do. He’s had a total of 6 names in his short life, but we currently refer to him as P.Kitty, which he chose himself when he opted for a new image.

    I’m just a girl with a hobby (or ten) trying to eek out a living and stay home with my little darlings as long as possible.

    My best quality, you ask? My sarcasm and quick wit. I love to think and speak out-of-the-box. Check out my personal blog…www.frvrchanged.blogspot.com. I’ve been published in 2 books (Chicken Soup for the Soul, New Moms edition and Cup of Comfort for Mothers). My writings are mostly faith-based, but I intend to begin posting about my party obsession in the near future and I can be quite funny after a glass or two of vino! THIS would be a faaaabulous opportunity. Thanks for your consideration.

Bookmark Cross Stitch Patterns

It seems like there’s no end to the available options when it comes to cross stitch bookmarks, which is a good thing because they’re perennially popular to stitch as well. This time I thought I’d share some colorful cross stitch bookmarks to get you ready for the new school year or to make meeting your reading goals a little more fun. 

I love these retro floral designs from The Stitch Patterns. This set of four patterns is rated as very easy, and each bookmark measures 2.5 by 6 inches (or 6.35 by 15.25 cm) on 14 count fabric. 

These cute ones that look like mosaic tile would also be fun to stitch. This set includes five designs from EmbroSTyle Designs, and they call them folk art but they mostly look like old mosaics to me. Either way, the bookmarks are 25 by 101 stitches, and to stitch the full set uses 12 colors. 

If you’re looking for more of a challenge, you can stitch up a work of art with this set of 16 bookmarks designed to look like famous paintings. Stitch some sunflowers or a great wave or a starry night. Most of these are between 14 and 20 colors (the great wave is only 8) and the bookmarks are totally covered with stitching at a count of 35 by 100 stitches. Grab this set from Sunset and Sea Design.

Or how about some bookmarks inspired by books (or by movies inspired by books)? This set of Lord of the Rings bookmarks includes four landmarks from the books/movies. Each one is 35 by 115 stitches and uses between 8 and 17 colors. You can find them at byCountryMagicStitch.

These don’t quite all fit the description of being colorful bookmarks to cross stitch, but a few of them do, and speaking of book-themed bookmarks I had to share this set from Mama Geek inspired by Heartstopper. There are seven designs in all that should be quite familiar to readers (or viewers of the series).
