Funky Art Queen Gets Tagged

Here is my husband....good sport as always...modeling my new apron that I made for the mixed media workshop next weekend. Let me know what you think. I think it needs something else....maybe something on the actual pockets? Anyway, bravo to my husband!

Renea from Pocket Full of Pretty's tagged me! I don't think I have been tagged in the 3 years I have had this blog. Apparently, it is the MEME tag game in blog world. Since Renea always says I'm all about Me Me Me....then this is right up my alley! Rules: 1. Link to the person that tagged you. 2. Post the rules on your blog. 3. Share six non-important things/habits/quirks about yourself. 4. Tag six random people at the end of your post by linking to their blogs. 5. Let each random person know they have been tagged by leaving a comment on their website.



  1. I read a lot of self help-motivational-positive type books. They just really inspire me and help me keep the saw sharp as they say.

  2. I can't stand the feeling of kleenix rubbing together or someone putting it in their mouth....it is like the sound of someone running their fingers down the chalk board.

  3. My husband tickles my forearm for me almost every night to help me relax and go to sleep. We get in bed....watch some television....then when I'm ready to go to sleep....I flop my arm over there. He always takes that arm and tickles it like a good husband.

  4. My favorite meal in the whole world is a pot of pinto beans, "tators" cornbread with butter and a big old onion. Yummy! Good Stuff.

  5. I love to get one scoop of orange sherbert and one scoop of chocolate when I get ice cream. The flavor of orange and chocolate are so wonderful to me.

  6. I am night blind.....and hate to drive at night. I can't see very good. I wear glasses at night and that helps some but normally I don't go anywhere at night by myself for that reason. If I do, I have a driver!

Now, who should I tag.....hmmmm. I'm going to tag my sister who does not yet have a blog so I can't link her.....she can post her comments on my comments.



  1. Rhea....that would be you.

  2. Carolyn at Carolyns Days

  3. Carmen at Musings from a Mermaid

  4. Susan at A Walk In The Park

  5. JoAnne at Paper Cats Page

  6. BlueJade at BlueJade's Musings

Hmmm...is it "legal" to tag a nonblogger? lol Here we go with six absolutely useless facts about mememememememememememe:

1) I like for people to walk on the right side of me. I don't know why and it drives my husband absolutely crazy. If they are walking on my left side, I will speed up and cross so they are on my right side.

2) I constantly pop the big toe on my right foot. Every time I bend it, it pops.

3) I would rather go fishing than shopping.

4) I eat a bag of 100 calorie popcorn every night.

5) I wrote my wedding vows three years after we were married and gave them to my husband as part of his anniversary gift.

6) If I were filthy rich, I would go to bed every night on brand new sheets and donate the others to a shelter.

I could probably go on for days about my weird quirks but then you wouldn't want to be my sister anymore! lol Have fun sweetie! Love you, Rhea

GREAT job on that apron!! Aren't husbands so nice? It takes true love for a guy to model a ladie's apron - and pose for a picture!! He is handsome as ever! You could always give it (the apron) a spritzing of permanent spray-on fabric glitter!

Rhea, thanks for participating...send me the day old sheets. You always have the best sheets! Also, you pop your fingers a lot....not just your big toe! Sisters know these things! Heehee

That does it! I'm going to start incorporating my husband into my blog more....this is probably the most comments I ever got! Heehee
Hey sweetie girl, I gave you 2 awards, go to my blog & check it out. Congrats! xoxoRenea
Had to tell you... we do the relaxing-before-you-sleep, touch thing too--whether it's my arm or the back of my neck. Thought it was funny that we both need this to fall asleep, and aren't we so fortunate that they are so giving? It really is awful when hubby travels, for I'm wide awake past the late news hour, unable to drift off. LOL

Thanks for sending me the flickr message! Best wishes with your new mixed media classes... they sound fun!

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.

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

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
