How I felt today...

I tried my hand at some felting today... I had some silk tussah here. I used that on a piece of felt along with some angelina fiber. I was going to put an image on it but, it was too pretty to cover it.. The photo really doesn't do justice.. the colors are incredible...

Jessi... my daughter's atc

Jessi came home tonight with creativity on the brain. So she went down into my art room and came up a short while later with this beautiful atc...

A day for art

I worked on ATCs and 4x4 pages today for a swap. The 4x4's theme is Green and Gold. And the ATC's theme is "Thank heaven for little girls". It felt good to get back down into my art room after having bronchitus last week and having to work this week.

Just another deco book

This is a deco book for a round robin we just started. Here are the front and back cover. My theme is Inspiration.

Laura Wasilowski's class

We were so lucky to have Laura come to our guild today to do a class. This is the start of my project. I loved this technique.. Everyone's quilts were so different.. All the flowers were different and fun... If you remember I bought myself a Laura quilt for myself for Christmas.. so now I will have 2 Laura quilts.. only one will be mine... HeeeeHeeee......

Dessert....

This was the best part of the meal... I think I gained 10 lbs. just taking this photo...

A fun St. Pat's party at my house..

We decided to act Irish today and have the family over for a St. Pat's Day dinner. I made veggies and dip, chips, irish stew, fried cabbage, and the dessert was the best.. I'll post a photo of the dessert alittle later.. We really had fun.. The 2 grandma' and my dad... Luke and Jessi and Mike and I....

Grandma's Candy Dish...a work of art.....

I have to share with you my favorite piece from when I was a child.. This was always on my grandma's sofa table ( which I also have).. I don't have many things from her but, this will always be my treasure. It is beautifully hand painted china...

Page for deco

This is a page I did in a deco. I used tissue paper and encaustic wax, rubber stamped and added embellishments. Very Fun!! If I had to name this page I would call it "what's in a name" because the backround paper has names of women on it which I ripped out of an old book.. Kind of cool... And Eva was the name that was under the Eva I put there...

Hoping to feel better.

This has been one heck of a week. My husband had bronchitus, my son got in trouble at school and now I'm sick with a terrible head cold. My daughter however continues to get A's in school and is trying to hold us all together. If you read this post please keep us in your prayers. My son especially. He is just going through alot right now and having alot of struggles. I know this is just a detour in a road that has so much happiness. THanks to all of you for your support... family and friends...

Getting ready for Easter

My yahoo group is doing an Easter Egg Mini quilty exchange. This is the quilty I made.. Back and front. Easter means much more to me than rabbits and easter eggs. We celebrate the risen Savior who died for our sins so that we may be saved. So I needed to put alittle something on the quilty. I added a small cross behind my little Easter bonneted gal. Also I signed the back and posted some words that tell alittle about Easter and what it means to me.

Another little doll

This is my great niece... she is an angel..

Jessi has funky day today at school

Today my daughter had flash back day! So she decided to Get FUNKY !
