Early Bird Gets the Worm

Yes, it is early. I'm enjoying my coffee (my worm) and updating my blog. More about the bird pic in a minute.

We got to go see Cody in San Antonio this weekend. We took his girlfriend Nadia with us and we all had a nice time. It was just good to spend time with him before he goes to Camp Bolus for 3 weeks. We won't get to see him during that time. I took my pens and colored pencils and canvas and used the idol time in the car and hotel to draw and color. I created 5 new ink/pencil drawings. This bird is one of my favorites. I did list this and another in my Etsy shop last night. I also ordered some prints that will be available soon.

I have returned to that book The Secret to refresh the positive message in my mind. I really feel like the message is so good. If you have not read it, I do recommend it. I want to get it on cd so I can listen to it occasionally in my car.

I hope you all have a wonderful and blessed day. Love Ya!

Your pink bird is so cute. I love the striped legs!

I have The Secret DVD and we've watched it numerous times plus I have a daily calendar with quotes each day. It helps keep it fresh in my mind.

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.

Found Object Jewelry

First of all I have to say a big thanks to all of you who commented about Cody's departure. I feel like printing all that out and sending it in Cody's first letter. He knows how I am about my blog friends. You are all precious to me and you don't know how much it helps to hear your comforting words. I'm doing better. Just kinda antsy to get our first call. I have paper and pen ready by the phone so we can get his address. They are not allowed to give it until they get there. Enough about that! I have dove into my found object box and started making some found object jewelry. This weekend, I learned how to drill metal, hammer it out if needed and make it have a faux patina. I played for several hours with many pieces like washers, watch parts, and all kinds of things I have found on the ground. Well, most of it I found. My husband finds little treasures for me as do some of my friends. It's funny because when they give me some little metal object they picked up off ...
