wHeRe My GiRlS At?


OK, I'm thinking it was the rapture or something.....where did everyone go? It must be extra busy because of spring but I have noticed an absence of some of my blog sistahs! So, I'm going to try and stimulate some activity by making special notes of some things I've noticed with my blog friends.



  1. First, let me say a big thanks to Paula for sending me these lovely ATC's for a small trade I did a couple of weeks ago. Aren't they wonderful? Thanks Paula!

  2. I am dying to know how the cruise went for Ms. Sacred Snatch! Was it a blast? Did you jump overboard? Where are you girl?

  3. I have a new friend who just started a blog "The Queens Drawers"and she has her own rubber stamp line! Yes, she designs rubberstamps!!!!! She bought my "Herding Cats" painting and it is on it's way! Thanks Jo! Go and check her out!

  4. I'm pretty sure Pocket Full of Pretty's is going to be relaxing a bit and possibly arting on Sunday because she has had her grandkids all week! Can't wait to see what she comes up with POST GRANDKIDS/SPRINGBREAK!

  5. Now, about me, I'm going to be painting the other half of the living room all weekend. I will be sore as heck again I'm sure but I can't wait to get it done and share it all with you girls. Now, get to blogging....cuz I miss hearing about you and seeing what you are creating! I have several things in the works....can't wait to show you. Meanwhile, don't forget to check out my blog entry below about my "Spool of Friendship". Hugs to everyone.

Janet @ Lavendar Loft said the same thing about where is everyone in blogland??? Maybe everyone does have spring fever! Well you were right I tried the glue for crackle on my shadow box & I worked it too much. So I tried it several times & now it looks like crap!!! So tomorrow I will try that texture in a tube & see what that will do. Wish me luck. xoxox Renea

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
