More Yard Art



I discovered this cute little craft on the Michaels Craft web site. The pond and all of the little creatures were made with little clay pots. I just wanted something else for my front porch. So, now I have the fish, and the little pond. It was a fun little diversion.

Well, the art show reception was today and I went. I did not get any awards but my art is up there and that is cool. There was some beautiful art at the show. It was nice to meet some of the local artists.


Cody made it home and he is sick. I think he has the flu. All he wanted was to lay down and get some nurturing from his Mama. We were going to cook out for him but he does not have an appetite. We will just do soup tonight. He did say he only wants tomato soup if it is "MiMi's". Yea, I will just drive to Mama's and get him some of that. HEEHEE-Hope he gets to feeling better...my poor baby boy! Gonna be a Campbells soup night! Don't forget to get your flu shots-they will soon be available!! Be watching out for that. Can't help myself...it's the nurse in me.

Ohhh, feel better Cody! Nothing like a momma when you're sick. Not that it's good he's sick, but if he had to be sick it's good he got sick on the long weekend home.

Paper Flowers and Fabric Flowers

Well, I'm kind of in a creative funk again. I hate it when this happens! I'm so glad that next weekend I am going to Fredricksberg, TX again to the trade days. I know it will inspire me in all kinds of directions. Meanwhile, while I am trying to get my groove back........I have been making a lot of little short term projects in the paper department. I made this little posey pin from faux vintage post/letters etc papers from the scrapbooking department. I actually wore it yesterday on my jacket. Then I spotted this book on Fabric Flowers by Elizabeth Helene Searle at the fabric store and I had to get it. I used her instructions to make this first fabric flower. I want to try several of her other flowers instructions. Now, what will I do with them? Who knows? Does it really matter if I am enjoying myself? Probably everyone will get fabric or paper flowers for Christmas! Heehee Have a great day.

Funky and Proud

Just wanted to say a big thanks to all who responded to the last post. You are all so smart and insightful. I think after much thought and several good conversations with my friends, I feel better about this whole idea. My conclusion, I do many different things that fall under the "mixed media" category...even the jewelry. I have this never ending curiosity and desire to learn new techniques. Whatever I am working on at the moment is satisfying my creative cravings...if not, I don't do it. If I don't enjoy something....I don't do it. It is that simple. The "Funky Art Queen" thing? It occured to me that the people that would be put off by my d.b.a. would be those that most likely would not be drawn to my art in the first place. Thanks again. I just love every one of you. Next blog......not all about me I promise. HUGS

Melon Burst Pantone Quilt Challenge 2023

I entered my first quilt challenge this year! I was inspired by a friend of mine that had entered this challenge so I decided I would give it a try. The challenge is called Pantone Quilt Challenge 2023 and you can check out all the yummy shades of magenta at #pantonequiltchallenge2023 on Instagram. This challenge is hosted by  Sarah Ruiz of https://saroy.net/ and Elizabeth Ray of https://www.instagram.com/elizabethkray/?hl=en When I learned about the challenge, I headed over to Missouri Star Quilt Company online and purchased the Kona Crush for this piece. I was not sure what I wanted to pair it with for several days until I finally decided on several tones of greens.  So I started out with these pieces. I had always wanted to see how to make the flying geese in a curve. I managed to figure out a way by using wedged pieces in between each "goose"? I have since learned that there is another way by using Foundation Paper Piecing. All the things we learn with each quilt, right
