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!

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.

Etsy Treasury

I got an ETSY Treasury today! Look what I made! Go and check out the real thing here, it took me an hour to figure out how to just get a snapshot for the above photo. Rediculous. 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.
