My Friend the Real Queen

Renea and I in Seattle a Few Years Ago


Read about it here.....

Well, this is going to be a little heavy but I will try and keep it light. I know many of you saw Pocket Full of Prettys' post about her moving away. I'm so sad. I have grown so dependent on my dear friend but this is such a wonderful opportunity and a blessing for she and her husband. I know that we will keep in touch and visit each other often but I am still very sad as her leaving draws closer and closer. So, I am taking a little stroll down memory lane. The above photo is just another example of how Renea has always had faith in me and would follow me to Mars if I asked her to for some entrepreneur idea or passion for art or something like that.

Here is another example...
Remember the workshop? She just always drops everything and comes to help me no matter what scheme I am up to. She may have some serious concerns about me but she never tells me that and she just calmly and sweetly joins in and does whatever needs to be done to get through yet another one of my adventures. I always think we are a lot like Lucy and Ethel....guess which one of us is Lucy? Heehee
I love my Renea and my heart is heavy but I am going to be positive and I'm not going to cry again BARRY! Or at least not right now. So there! Love you Renea-you are the really Queen.

Oh Les, I'm crying! I will miss you soooooo much. You always make me laugh & I love that about you. I love how giving & caring you are & how creative you are, and how you always see the kitties, even in mid-sentence or mid-thought. You make my heart smile. You are indeed a TRUE FRIEND and my sister Queen! and I'll always love ya! Love, Renea

I haven't been by for awhile and then to come back and learn about your sad news. But you always have emails and phone calls and such....and you could both get webcams and "talk" to each other. It won't be the same but it might help.

Dang it! stop it. i'm trying to ignore it and i succeed most of the time. thank goodness we live in the age we do and have blogs, email, unlimited long distance service, planes, trains and automobiles! it was meant to be because everything just fell into place. i'm so happy for her and Barry and it really is all about them and theirs! but i will miss her terribly. friends forever, lisa

I receive my wonderful package today!!! It is awesome... I love the felt bird and have to find the perfect place in my new house for it. :)

So sorry to hear that you'll be missing Renea so much. I know how hard it is to have a friend move away, but at least she's staying in the same state...

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.

YOu should be able to just have some html and share the dang thing! Anyway, here it is, I would appreciate any views and/or comments. Hugs

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.
