Catch Me Wearing My MMP Pin


Beloved friends, I will be out and about tomorrow all over Newport News -- Starbucks, the bank, paying a couple bills, getting gas, purchasing packing stuff, getting my storage unit, and the pharmacy. If you can find me wearing my MMP Pin, you will get a gift from me.


Find me or not, take a look at all the shops at Make Mine Pink, these women are wonderful!

Why do you see all these other companies on my website and Blog




I have been actively seeking relationships with companies that I like and would buy products from. You may ask -- If someone buys from one of these companies doesn't it take sales away from the things you make? No, not really. I try to find companies that have products I don't have. This way you can find almost anything you could want from Beloved-Creations. For each of these companies, I have to be approved and adhere to their terms. So these are not just random advertising spots. These companies also send me specials all the time, so watch out for extra savings. I choose who I want on my sites based on the type of products they sell. An example is that I make coffee sleeves and give you the opportunity to purchase coffee from other companies. I sell burp cloths for babies and have affiliates that are related to children. I sell one of a kind custom bridal items but also offer a place for you to buy flowers and stationary. It is a win-win for us all, and I hope you will enjoy looking through all the different companies. I also love finding PINK items on Amazon so don't forget to check them out on my blogs.

You can also find Pink Ribbon items I selected from Amazon on my blog for you to purchase.

Two of my favorite things -- Coffe & Yo-Yo


I have made these cute coffee cup sleeves to sell in my website. Each one is different, many with yo-yo's, buttons, and fun embroidery.

I Survived Denbigh Days 2007


The only thing good about this day was the wonderful people I met. Every one talked about how they used to know some one who made yo-yo quilts. The wind was blowing so strong, that it blew away those covers everyone uses at fairs to keep the sun off them. Even the mayor's cover flew away. It was a struggle all day to keep my light weight embroidery from blowing all around. I put water bottle on every stack. I also had those fold out dryer racks to hang some of my quilt blocks on and they keep bowing down. The lady next to me had a Christmas Tree with ornaments and the tree went flying away and most of the ornaments broke. The only people making any money where the food vendors. So all and all it was a bust -- But I had a great time.

No One Has Won Yet! Here Is 1 Answer!

No one has sent in the answers yet!! I'll give you the answer to the frog and murder mystery question. What do frogs and murder mysteries have in common? They both croak!

Join Me For a Tea Party


One of my favorite things to write or tell stories about are mysteries. I have also, always wanted to have a round-robin mystery letter. I would start the mystery by writing to a friend, they, in turn, would add to the mystery and return it to me. We would go about this until the mystery is resolved and could actually publish a story with our writings. So join me for a "spot of tea" and write a note to a friend.

OK Yo-Yo's Get In Line


This is a picture of all the yo-yo's I've finished in the last 3 weeks. Seems like they could just line them selves up and make a quilt. Hop to it Yo-Yo's! The blue ones will make a yo-yo tote bag, the light pink ones a yo-yo doll, the dark pink an Irish chain quilt, and the Christmas yo-yo's will make lots of projects.
Seems like I should have more piles of these little cuties for almost 500.


I'm so addicted to yo-yo making.

The Cat is Almost Out of the Bag


As you can see from my post I will be part of the Make Mine Pink Tea Party on September 10. I have chosen to also have a theme for my tea party. The theme and prize on my blog is still a secret.

It's My Birthday!


I love birthdays. I think celebrating the day your were born is such a great human phenomena. How old am I? Well I remember when the Beatles were on Ed Sullivan, I remember where I was when John F. Kennedy was shot, I remember Woodstock, I remember living with out running water or indoor plumbing. We were not allowed to wear pants to public school. I have two children, 6 grandchildren, and 1 great-grandchild. How old does that make me? I'm not telling. But it's my birthday and I'm doing a Happy Dance.

I am in the process of making some additional quilt blocks and would like your suggestions. What kind of embroidered quilt blocks would you like to see and in what colors? Here is an example of my work. I have patterns for children, heirloom patterns, Baltimore quilt patterns and many others. Please help me to decide what to take.
