Queen for the Day


I am back! Shew! Vegas was a blast....well everything except for the lay over for one more night due to the storm. We just did so much and had so much fun in such a short period that I'm still trying to synthesize everthing. I can't quite put it into words yet. I did get lots of pics and as I get settled a little more, I will share a couple.
I'm still quite tired but I have to make this post. I have a couple of updates! I got my art supplies from my art swap partner! Oh my gosh! This was so much fun. My package was waiting on me yesterday evening when I got in. I could not wait to tear into it. I got all kinds of great material/supplies for my art. My partner did good! I'm excited to hear from all the other swap partners! Oh, and my partner will ger hers shortly. Due to the late return home,my package just went out today! Bad art swap host!!
I also got a couple of lovely valentines. One from my husband and one from a dear friend (MR). Thanks you two! Then, as if I were not spoiled enough....another dear friend sent me a just because she wanted to card. She took such time to make it and it meant so much to me. I have it on my desk where I can see it all the time. It makes me laugh and inspires me girl! Thanks Donna!
I have so much to do to catch up! I really love to go places but really....there is not place like home.

About Sewing on Vinyl

The top handbag is my most recent piece of art. LOL.   Sewing on "marine vinyl" is not for the weak hearted. I had to "google" every trick in the book. You need to understand some of the basics of Vinyl before you start a project. I'm telling you this because I started the project before I knew.....which is typical of all of my projects. First, let me just say that vinyl is sticky and does not like to feed forward. It sticks and refuses to move without feeding with your hand from the back side and pulling from the other hand from the inside. Plus, after much research.....I learned that you must get a teflon foot which helps to feed the material through. You can also tape your foot with scotch tape-but the teflon foot was like 3.00 and well worth it. You will also want to do some trials on some pieces of the fabric (vinyl) that you are going to use to test out the tension and stitch length. Apparently, the weight of your thread is important, and you wa...

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.

Some Work Humor

Cows...A Poem by Richard Armous Cows Do nothing but browse And drowse And now and then moo. That's all they do. Yet even while grazing They aren't lazing. Even while snacking They aren't slacking. If not illustrious Thay are inner industrious, Making milk with all their might. With every bite. Cream too, With every chew. I'd like it fine Could I combine In such measure Business with pleasure . Happy Friday from the Funky Art Queen.
