Hey...back on track...what happened to NEW LIFE comment?

read, really really really read about what comment to leave...it's not imperative, but it sure started out special, soo....leavin' it up to YOU's!! :0)

This hangs 4 1/2" X 7 1/2"
This has a lot of personal handwork in it, so yep, there is love too! the piece of silk i dyed. embroidered a flower and fabric. the photo (on postcard paper, so it won't get ruined as a photo paper would) is from my painting, "she brings flowers".

Just leave a comment if you are interested, about:

NEW LIFE...it can be serious, or not. it could be anthing from a new puppy to a new fingernail that grew out after being smashed...the sky is the limit...we'll pick a name from a hat on January 2, 2011! Good luck!!

This is a huge HEARTFELT thank you for so much support, fun filled delightful comments, serious "stuff" and all the in betweens you have given me!

CHRISTMAS CHEER ... A Food Network???

Sacred History

This is for a very special friend of mine...i can post it here to share as she doesn't have a blog, she isn't on face book and she doesn't even own a cell phone...her name his janet and yes, she's from this planet...only she doesn't care about all that stuff...amazing in many ways!

The substrate is a thin rusted ceiling tile: a picture of my painting on postcard, a torn piece of paper out of a bible, a twig, tatted and crocheted thread by my "nana" once again, some random flower stiches with the machine and various other little wonders!

Angels on Board!!!

just a few more angel hangers...i can't stop myself...OH HOLY NIGHT!

Those Teachable Moments

just one little post today...we finally got this one framed. and how appropriate for this time of year...just lucky i guess. i asked richard to make a frame that we could just squeeze the canvas into. it wasn't a super simple task for him, but he did it and said, "lets not make these anymore, okay"? it is made from an old maple table. he stained it, shellaced it lightly, then we applied the same yellow ink on top. it's raining again today, ergo, not the greatest picture, but i bet you get the idea. Happy Thursday Everyone! xoxo
