It isn't often I talk about my wedding items for sale. But on http://beloved-creations.com/ I have a whole category for weddings. Here are just a few pictures of what you can purchase on my site. If you don't find what you are looking for please email me at janetinva@hotmail.com and I will try to find it.
Nancy Jo is the most talented thrifter I have ever seen. She can find things the rest of us can only dream about. Saturday I received from her a needle book like I collect and a sweet little card. Thank you Nancy!!
See her blog at http://www.nancy-jo.blogspot.com/
They are called yoyo's. I'm not sure why except maybe because they are round? But anyway I made my first one today. I hope to make a lot more as they are easy to transport while you wait in lines or offices. What will I make with them? I was thinking just some small projects. Stay tuned as I figure it out.
Also my daughter in Tennessee bought me this John Deere Bank to save money for a farm. Too cute!! Love you Teresa!!
Starting the Christmas Season off with Free Shipping. From August 1 through Christmas 2007 everything on my web site, etsy site and pink boutique will have no shipping costs. This does not include items on my blog through amazon.
It is July and it's hot. I have such a hard time in the summer with the heat. Even if I stay indoors with the air conditioning I get asthma and I swell. (TMI -- I know too much info). I have found that here in Tennessee I don't feel as bad as I do in Virginia. Maybe because the humidity is worse in Virginia. But it is summer and I deal. How about you? How do you beat the heat?
My 4th was great -- here in Tennessee you can buy fireworks and shoot them off -- can't do that in Virginia so my daughter bought a bunch of fire works and we had our own show. It was so much fun.
Next week end my daughter and I are going to Kentucky to my grandmothers 93 birthday. She is only 4 hours from here. My grandmother is the most amazing woman and I love her to death.
I'll be in here in Tennessee for another couple of weeks then back to Virginia to prepare for two big craft shows.
I am adding a new category to my web site called "Build A Jacket." You will be able to send me a jean jacket and I will embroider pretty much what ever you like on it. Then I will send it back to you. Here are three examples:
1. Jean Jacket 1
2. Jean Jacket 2
3. Jacket 3
Pictures are some of the things I can do the the embroidery machine
It has been on my heart and mind for many years now that I wanted to buy a farm. I want to raise chickens, goats, sheep, and rabbits. I want to grow enough food to be self sufficient. This farm would be in the Tri-State area of Kentucky, Tennessee, and Virginia. I would like to have about 25 acres with some woods and a house set back from the road. I would still have my embroidery business and would sell things like cheese, goat milk, and vegetables to the local area.
It is a dream I want to see happen in the next year so I have decided to start my FARM Bank. In the jar will go all of my change. In a special bank savings account I will add money every week from my other bank accounts. Half of what I clear in the business will go into the FARM Account. So the Dream is on Paper now. I'll keep you posted on my steps to walking free.
I want to thank every one who visits my blog and my web site. I appreciate all of you and hope you will continue to browse and coment on what you like here. I also want to thank all those who have been ordering the items I list from Amazon for you. The ordering helps me so much. If there are books or other pink items you would like to see listed, please let me know.
Once Upon A Time -- One of my great loves is story telling. We have traced our family through Scotland, Ireland, to the Appalachian Mountains and with 5 generations still living there is no lack of tales to be told. I weave the tales of history, family, fabels, and my own thoughts to make an exceptional story telling event.
Types of stories:
Other Types of Speeches:
I live in Newport News, Virginia, between Williamsburg and Virginia Beach. I travel from the Nags Head area to Elizabeth City NC, Virginia Beach to the Washington DC area to Charlottesville on to Roanoke to tell my tales.
For information on available dates and price, please contact me at janetinva@beloved-creations.com
I have been a member of Toastmasters International since 2000. I have given over 50 speeches within Toastmasters, over 100 outside of Toastmasters. On July first I will be the Immediate Past President of the Oyster Point Speakers Club and the Area Governor of Area 12 in Virginia. Toastmasters is a public speaking and leadership club. http://toastmasters.org
I love any thing pink. I know it seems like I've added a lot of things for sale on my blog from amazon but I couldn't help myself. All these pink electronics are so cute. I just wanted to add them here so you wouldn't have to search through the world to find them. I also have listed many books and magazines that have a romantic, French, and Victorian flair.
So just click on the item and my blog will take you directly to amazon where you can get the best price on what you want.
I am so excited to finally open a website. I have worked to get it ready and it is now open for business. I hope you enjoy all my new items for sale and if there is something you would like to see embroidered, please contact. me.

I have several tea towels and guest towels for sale in my http://belovedcreations.etsy.com
shop. So how else could you use them if not for towels?
Well you could --

Make a pillow out of them (just fold over and sew)
Add some ribbon and make a chair back tie on -- purchase 4 for $50
Make small curtains from a matching set - purchase 2 for $25
Make quilt blocks out of them.
I'm sure there are many things I haven't even thought of. Don't see a design? I have thousands -- Just email me at janetinva@hotmail.com
I'm taking a break from office work and machine embroidery today to do some hand embroidery. I started out learning hand embroidery before I was able to start my business and I still enjoy it. This kitchen towel sold before I could even finish. The matching one has some yellow spots on it that I'm not sure will come out when finished so I'm still going to finish it I'll do somthing else with it if the stains don't come out. I've had this set for years so I guess it is really not good to keep things too long in a storage box.
It amazes me every time I stop and think about it. I have 6 grandchildren and 1 great-grandchild. How did this happen. I'm not old -- I'm only in my 50's. But yet I feel as though I am a patriarch of a dynasty of people. None of them depend on me, yet as a grandmother and great-grandmother I will shape their lives just by my exsistance. My mother has passed away but my grandmother is still living at the age of 92. That means she is at the top of 6 generations. I also knew my great-great grandmother and great-grandmother. The women in my family live long lives.
What do I want my future generations to know about me when they think of me. I only have to go as far as my grandmother to know I want them to know I am a strong woman. I worked hard, I over came everything that life threw at me. I love having my own small business. I always wanted to have a small farm with chickens, goats, lambs, and vegetables. That even with a disability I was a person who wanted to make my way in life.
I was very fortunate to receive a Bernina Artista 730e sewing machine through the Virginia Department of Rehabilatitive Services to start my own sewing business. The Denbigh House of Newport News, a work day setting for individuals with brain injuries, featured my business in their newsletter. I have since made sports shirts with The Denbigh House logo on them.
Each of these towels are $15. Please email me at janetinva@hotmail.com for an invoice.
I live in East Virginia near Williamsburg and the flowering trees are in bloom at their peak. Other flowers are starting to bloom and tulips are breaking ground. I have dusted my little patio and put the plants out to make a homey little spot to relax in. I am ready for Spring! In honor of Spring I have embroidered these two sets of Irish Linen with pink lacy designs. You can find them on ebay userid beloved-creations.
