Fun Day in San Angelo, Texas





I had the best day today! I got up early (even though it was Saturday) and got ready to go to an arts and crafts fair (Festival on the Concho) in San Angelo, Texas. I drank my one cup of coffee and woke up Heather and we were on the road by 7:45 a.m. Fun Stuff. Would I do this for just an arts and crafts show....maybe....but would I do this if I knew that my two best friends in the whole world would be there.........????? Yep, that is it! Lisa had a wedding in San Angelo and Renea and her husband stayed a lake nearby. How convenient.....and it all turned out great.

Renea, Heather and me met downtown San Angelo and proceeded to shop for a while at a few shops while waiting for Ms. Lisa. She showed up shortly and we hustled down to the Festival on the Concho. I was a little disappointed in the Festival as there were not that many booths and many of them were jewelery. Don't get me wrong....I love jewelery.....it just got old. So many soldered charms both the round and the square. Then there were so many beads and jewelery booths. That was just my impression....perhaps someone else saw something different.

We ate Lunch at Fuentes-YUMMY and Lisa had to go and get ready for the wedding. Renea, Heather and I continued our shopping until about 3 p.m. We went to a great scrap booking shop and a wonderful antique store. We visited the San Angelo Art Musuem too. Here is a pic from that.....

I was so tired....I finally just stopped and thanked Renea for a great time and grabbed Heather up for a almost 2 hour drive home. We had a fun drive home as we listened to hits from the eighties and ninety's and Heather and I sang and danced and giggled. What a fun day. I'm tired but pleased and I'm smiling. Hugs!

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
