Bookmark Trade

Tonight I posted these bookmarks for the F.A.T. bookmark trade! I had fun making them...I love this handprinted paper so much I almost kept one for myself!...They remind me of Santorini....whitewashed houses....crystal blue water and an evil eye for protection...lol......
I always have a touch of Greece in everything I create.
It is such a huge part of who I am:)

Sad, Sad day

Our kitty died in my arms today...she was over 20 years old and such a tough cookie...my husband and I have been together for 25 years and she has been with us from the beginning...
As a kitten she was hit by a car and crawled over to my husband who brought her home and nursed her back to health...she had broken hind legs and lower jaw. He taped popsicle sticks to her legs and we loved her better:) We never knew about her lower jaw until it had healed...crooked:)...she never seemed to age...she looked like a kitten even now as she lay in my arms....

Collage Mania II Submission

In memory of Carol Ann Hughes......

I just imagined what it would be like .....dancing with the stars....(real stars lol..not famous people) It is hard to see but there is a stream of stars that goes from her hand and wraps around the moon...

The bead of the dancer was a find from the garment district when I was a fashion student...I still love shopping there....

This collage is made of paper, wire, glass and metal beads, fabric.

I learned about this through the Fiber Art Traders.....hopefully it will be accepted by Virginia Spiegel....if not...I love it...I will hang it up!

Now it is time for sleep!

Beads! Beads! Beads!

These are my fiber beads for the Fiber Art Traders group. We had to make 5 sets of 5....this was more fun than I expected and soooo easy! Now my brain is spinning trying to think of how I want to use the beads I get in the mail!....Any ideas?

Happy St. Patrick's Day!

Well from my years at St. Vincent -St. Mary High School, Home of the Fighting Irish and LeBron...lol...(although he was just a thought when I was there)...I am used to celebrating St. Patrick's Day....so today I got to wear all of my great pins from our Fiber Art Traders "Wearin' o the Green" trade! Even my daughters got to wear a pin to our parade!
Speaking of Fiber Art Traders....I recieved the greatest flat dolls from our last trade and the beautiful spring pages are arriving as I type! I will post pics as soon as I can figure out my darn scanner...it just decided to stop working!
I love this fabulous F.A.T. group of women! I feel like we have known each other forever!

soreness is setting in...

I have shoveled more snow in the past three days than I have shoveled in three years...so now I am feeling it...tomorrow will be interesting ha!
I recieved the most amazing dolls today from my F.A.T. friends! This was my absolute favorite trade! More on this tomorrow....

Baby its cold outside!

Ok so I went outside to shovel a small path for the mail to get here....ha!

The snow is almost to my knees! But...shovel I did.....and now I am back inside ready to work on my trades for Fiber Art Traders!

My kids are happily zoned out in front of Spongebob...it's my time to play!



My ladies for the Flat doll trade are eagerly waiting to go to their new homes! I loved this trade! I drooled over everyone's dolls and love the 3 that I am getting! They are awesome! This trade brought out the designer in me....sometimes I miss those days B.C. (before children)

....then reality hits and I remember what I didn't like about creating bridal and evening gowns:) that's another post for another day....I am off to play:)
