New Sunflower Quilt and More

I haven't done a bulk update in a while. So, today, I want to do that. First, I want share the new quilt that I just finished for myself. I call it my indoor sunflower garden. 🌞 The front has big, beautiful, bright sunflowers all over it. The back has tiny sunshine printed on it. Both fabrics were purchased from Hobby Lobby, and I used 2 yards of each print. I placed polyester batting between the 2 pieces of fabric and tied them together with acrylic yarn. Afterwards, I hand stitched the binding around the quilt. This is a very easy process if you're interested in making your own hand-tied quilt.

I've also made time to update my other websites that you can find on the right side of this site. I've added new senior care advice and cinema and TV bloopers and favorite shows/movies. Please check back every Tuesday for upcoming updates to those sites. I don't update these 2 sister sites every Tuesday, but that is the day to watch for those when I do update.

I've also created new items and placed those in my Happy Home Creations 2019 (HHC2019) Etsy shop, also found on the right side of this page with my other sites. I'm going to start working on more new items to list shortly.

Just so you know, I announce all of my updates in my Simply Making Life newsletter. So, if you're interested in receiving regular, monthly updates about all of my sites, please sign up to my newsletter at the top of this page. I send out my newsletter only once a month. And I never sell or share your information with others.

Thanks for letting me share some extra stuff with you today. I hope you have a blessed and beautiful day.

Image Pixels to Inches, Flip Image, and Increasing DPI

Image Pixels to Inches, Flip Image, and Increasing DPI These are simple tips I want to share with those of you who are like me and do not have fancy programs to help when needing to convert pixels to inches, find out how many pixels an image has, and increase DPIs for better print quality. My tips are based on a Windows 11 OS and may not work on other systems. However, you may be able to do an internet search to explore your OS options based on the information I have provided below. I do not receive any compensation from these two sites listed. I use them because they are easy, free, and safe to use. These tips are helpful if you need to quickly figure how many pixels you need for a certain number of inches so you can print the right size every time without guessing and wasting printer ink until you do get it right. Also, sometimes, a print needs to be flipped (mirrored, reversed) for transfers. And last but not least, if you’re selling printable items, a higher DPI is needed for ...

New Christian T-shirts Designed and Listed on Etsy

I just finished designing a couple of Christian T-shirts and listing them on Etsy. You can read more about these and keep up with new arrivals on my Digital Potpourri Blog. If you have a custom request, you can contact us via Etsy messages . We'll be happy to try to produce a t-shirt to your liking as long as there is nothing profane, vulgar, immoral, licensed, trademarked or involving hate related to the design. One of the tees reads Love Obey Trust with bible books, chapters, and verses that coincide with these words. The other states God Lives Here with "Here" inside a heart shaped from mini hearts. So, basically 2 messages. God Lives and He lives in our hearts. 😇 Thanks for dropping by to read my updates today, Patricia

This Rule is Golden

In Matthew 7:12 NLT, Jesus tells us , "Do to others whatever you would like them to do to you. This is the essence of all that is taught in the law and the prophets." image courtesy of Randalyn Hill via Unsplash My goodness, how often does the world turn the Golden Rule around? Jesus meant it for us to be kind and merciful. Many in the world use it to get even, to seek vindication for a wrong done to them - or what they think has been done to them, which is NOT at all what Jesus said in this verse. Yet, how many times do we hear, "Well, they did this to me. I'm going to do the same to them." Or, "That person was mean to me; I'm going to teach that person a lesson they will never forget." Or, "I never get a break. Why should I give anyone else a break?" Jesus said to treat people the way we want to be treated. That means to be cordial in all encounters. Show mercy to those who aren't showing us mercy. Let's be nice to people who...
