As promised....

posts two weekends in a row! I'm on a roll ;) So as I enjoy (not really) spicy leftovers from my lunch, I'll share with you a few of the projects I was able to complete before I got sidetracked with playing musical rooms in the house...

The first one technically was completed in the waning days of 2010...but close enough, right?

For the peeps at work, I made little desk calendars with tear off pages.  The image you see on them is from a photo I took of a very old metal ad sign that my boss has in her office.  

For my lovely friend, Becky, I made a rustic Baby Jesus to accompany the shepherd she already had.  Being that it is a special and spiritual piece, i used a bit of bark and some dried rose stems that I had been saving for "just the right thing." Mary will be the next installment....

And the last project I will share this week is a mini album of the beautiful Abigail Grace. I was able to use several sheets of cardstock and some coordinating accents from my stash...which is a good thing since i have so much "stash."

I am signing up tomorrow for Club Scrap's Pro Scrapbooker's League (PSL), so there is sure to be layouts, cards and digi layouts to share in the coming weeks!.

Have a lovely week! See you next weekend!

Just a short post and then back to schlepping my studio up the stairs....

So my blogging goal for this year is to have a new post every weekend. I don't have much time during the evenings so I am hoping that I will at least be able to catch everyone up on the week's artsies come Saturday or Sunday.  Or when life gets in the way (like it is this weekend and likely next weekend while we play musical rooms in the house again), I hope to at least pop in and say "Hello!"

I have been trying to squeeze creativity into every spare moment, and have even finished several projects already that I hope to share with you soon!  In the pipeline are a lovely mix of projects for sewing, crocheting and scrapbooking and in my head are many for some fiber art and collage projects! Always something going on!

I hope you all had a great weekend--unfortunately I have captured a cold for my very own and feel quite like crud. :p

Time to bring up a few more things before passing out for the night...

Until next weekend!
Cheers!

6months on--6 months off

So, when last we met, I was befuddled by the rapid passing of the first half of 2010. And lo--we are now beginning 2011.  Happy New Year to all! I hope the last 6 months and your holidays brought you much joy.  I won't go into mine--suffice to say, I am glad they are over and I am looking forward to making the most of this coming year.
