Custom Valentines Pillow

OK, let me just begin with this.....it has been a really bad week! That being said, you will appreciate how happy I was to get home today to find a package from one of my best and dearest friends. I opened it up (which took forever by the way......lots of mailing tape.....which I think she did to be ornery lol).

There were two little tissue wrapped presents. One was a little funky bird figure with the quote "and she decided to sing her own special tune"which made my heart melt. My husband was in the room when I opened it and when I showed him the bird and the words.... we agreed that my dear friend knows me too well! LOL

Then I opened the little pillow (above) with the picture of my new little grandbaby Caden on it and I laughed out loud. I just squealed with delight. Oh, my little grandbaby Caden. Oh it is so lovely how she did this pillow. She's a genius I tell you! She grabbed this pic off facebook and used it to make this lovely and personalized heart pillow for me! I just hugged that pillow and I quickly decided that this was a personal call thank you situation and not an email or card thank you kind of thing.

Renea has an Etsy shop called "Pocket Full of Prettys"-you can click here to get there! I'm sure if you contact her, she would be glad to take a custom order.

Isn't it funny how friends and the universe just know when you need a little somethin somethin from a dear friend. xoxo

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.
