New Look Pants and Mrs. America

Here she is.......Mrs. America!  Well, not really, it is just me in my new pants that I made.  (New Look Pattern # 6896) For some reason, I decided today was the day to wear them.  I got ready for work and had my daughter take this pic.  I fussed with them a bit this morning feeling like I looked huge (not that I have gained any weight lately.....).  Then, I put on my "I'm hot----head held high look" and headed out the door.  I really believe that attitude is what it is all about.  First stop, one of my surgery groups.  They just went on and on and made me feel so good.  I love going to this account, they always do that so you can see why I start out there~! LOL

Anyway, I just really enjoyed my new pants and now I'm so inspired to make some more.  I really want black ones.  That will be my next pair of these babys.  I have so many patterns and so little time!  Things have been very busy here as my sister is  visiting and her 3  large dogs are with her.  We are non stop with activity as you can imagine.  This is the week we go see the Mama Mia show in St Louis.  We leave Thursday morning and see the show Friday night.  We are going spa hopping, art gallery visiting, arch viewing, and many other fun things that might have something to do with wine and sister time.  We so need this trip!  It will be fun!

Love the turquoise polka-dots! So fun! And the fit looks great. Good for you venturing into couture. Soon I'll see you in Someset's Altered Couture mags. Enjoy the time with your sister, what a gift! Blessings on you both!

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

Lost Sole Challenge

childs shoe in front of hs Originally uploaded by Funky Art Queen I'm starting to wonder if I am the only one that sees all these single shoes on the road. This is not the first time I have addressed this isue on my blog . I see at least one single shoe every day on the highway or a street in town. I don't understand where all these shoes come from. Every time I see a shoe on the road, I wonder how it got there.?.....I wonder what story goes with the shoe. If it is a childs shoe like this one, I wonder if a mother is going crazy searching the house for this shoe? Why just one shoe and not the pair of shoes?! I see shoes on the road all the time. They are just not always in the most convenient places for photographing. But, on occasion, these single shoes are in a location that I feel comfortable enough to stop and photograph them. The particular shoe was spotted in front of the Big Spring High School on 11th place. It was late evening in the summer so I felt very comfortable in
