Here are another four pages from my art journal.




I have a few more ideas in my head that I need to jot down. It is so comforting to know that my creative juices are finally starting to come to the surface again. I was feeling as if I had lost my mojo but now so many different ideas and thoughts running around in my head. : )

Have a fabulous day!

Art journal Pages

Here are the first four pages of my new art journal. I must admit this is probably one of my top five favorite journals. I used acrylic paints, ink, water color, various pens, collage, glue and eventually you will see sewing.






These first four were all warm up's to some of my favorite pages you have yet to see. I think they get a lot better.

Stayed tuned!

I finally finished my art journal a couple of days ago. The pictures aren't that great a bit lazy to get the camera out so I used photo booth.


The picture above was done randomly while watching DD and her friend play outside.

I have started a new journal and will show you what I have done really soon, most likely next Monday. I also have a few creative ideas up my sleeve as well so I'll keep you posted.

Have a great weekend!

Here is the pocket organizer I made last week. I wanted to share it earlier but Blogger just wasn't cooperating at the time. After this I thought of another project I would like to do but I need to purchase more fabric. So stayed tuned!

Vintage Ephemera Swap-Swap Goodies

O.K. I have to tell you I love this photo...just about everything in screams my name especially the little mushroom picks. If I can only find some of those!!

Blogger problems


For some reason the picture I did want to upload won't so I need to do a little investigating and find out why; so for now enjoy this cute picture of our dog Smokey. We took this a couple of days ago and as you can tell he is in need of haircut.

Have a great day!

Quick Hello

I have to take DD to school pretty soon but I wanted to leave a quick note.

I haven't really been crafting that much, however I did help DD with an embroidery project she was doing as a present for Preschool teacher at the end of the month.  It looking so cute. As soon as it is completed I will share it with you.  I also made a hanging pocket organizer that I saw in a book, wish I could remember the name of the book.  Maybe it was in my Bend-The- Rules Sewing book I don't know. When I remember I'll let you know.  Again, I will share that photo with you soon.

Hope you have a wonderful weekend!

Ta ta, for now!

The hanging pocket organizer wasn't seen in a book I saw it at Pretty Petals blog.   :  )

Dolls




Below is my very first doll and as you can see she was crudely made. DD helped with the hat and that looks sooo bad but I let her help. My daughter is wonderful and loved this doll long neck and all and named her Alice.




The doll below is my second attempt on making a doll and she turned out a lot better but still rough around the edges.  My daughter chose her dress and as you can see I let her help me sew the legs on.  All in all I think she did a good job.  As you may notice she doesn't have any eyebrows or hair that decision was made by my daughter.  So we have a eyebrow and hairless doll which she named Sarah.  She loves these dolls and sleeps with them every night which makes my heart sing!  It truly is the little things you do for your kids that bring the most joy!


Have a great Monday!

Bag is finally finished!

Here is the finished project!  And I know it's a bit crude and rough around the edges but I absolutely love it!!!  I am so proud of myself for facing my fear of sewing and did it!




Below is a close up of the two "love birds" and the hand embroidery I did; again I know it's a bit crude but it was so much fun!





My next sewing project is going to be an attempt to make The Princess a doll at of muslin and other fabric. I will post a picture after it's completed.

Tomorrow I'm going to share the picture frames I made.  

See ya tomorrow.

I've got nothing.

Well, it was a quite weekend here at home, dear daughter and I basically hung out and played a few board games.  We are working on how to win with out boasting and how to learn how to lose without crying, it's a work in progress.  

I really need to get her invitations for little b-day party out today but I'm kind of caught up on wanting to sew today : (  but her party is at the end of the month and I need to give everyone a heads up.  So I will either make invitations or buy them.

So that's about it I need to get things done.

Have a wonderful day!
