Has it really been a year?

WOW Has it really been a year since I last sat down to blog. Life has been super busy, some time in the studio has happened but not much as I would have liked. Hoping that will change soon, the idea book is really full.

I'm Here

Here I am, finally. I have sat down at the computer hundreds of times and drawn a complete blank. Some days I don't even think I could have typed my name if I was asked. But I am here now and hopefully more often, I have gotten alot of great feed back in the past ad that has helped my confidence.

Anyways....

I ave been alittle creative while I have been away. I taught myself to crochet (yeah me!!). My Mom gave me some great hints when I had trouble figuring out why my square was a trapezoid (Thanks Mom). I have made 2 pillows for my kids, a bag for my daughter and an IPOD holder for me. Pictures coming soon.

So now I am back out in the studio trying t get down to work. I have a notebook almost full of ideas. I thought i should start working on them.

But first I need my supplies.... Tea (Sun Tea this time of year), and candy (no chocolate, not a fan, sorry chocolate lovers). Now I'm ready.



We had a craft day once again.

The girls painted stuffed bears, which they thought was great. Who needs the Mall!!

And little man got to paint airplane and a helicopter.


And as for me I am working on some alphabet cards or my niece. I will Blog again soon with more pictures. Happy creating!!

A book for my Daughter

Happy St Patrick's Day!! It only took 5 years but my son (Patrick) finally gets that it is not a day just for him and my daughter has stopped asking when her day is.

Below is a book that I made for my daughter for Christmas (I know it is March, Please forgive me!) I took an old children's board book and gessoed the whole thing and then embellished with paint, and tissue paper and alot of Mod Podge. I also made one for my son I will post that next time.

Have A Great Day!! We are one day closer to spring!!!!

Still Here...

Yes I am still here. I have been working away on some things and learning a new art... the art of crocheting. I will post pictures of what I have been up to soon I have to let the glue dry!! Have a great day!

Feeling alittle less Blah Blah Blah

It has been so long since I have posted that I am afraid this might be a long one. A cup of tea or coffee might be required.

Where do I begin it is still winter and it has been a lovely mixture of Snow, Sleet and freezing rain just about once a week. When it has not been yuck out we have been Skating on our backyard rink. Patrick and Ron our resident hockey players have been loving it and Laiken is a quick learner she amazes me. I have also amazed myself after not being on skates for atleast 14 years I have only fell once. Yeah for me!!


The Picture below was taken after one of our storms. I really do love when the snow sticks to the trees.

After many, many weeks of not even opening the door to my craft/art room/studio (I have know idea what to call it anymore). I received this fortune. "Click" the inspriation light turned on not full blast I would say dim at this point in the story, but once I opened the door again and made myself sit there and do something anything (the first time I scraped all the glue and paint off my bench) I started to feel better.

I then started to work on real projects (There was nothing left to scrap!!). I am almost finished with a "Book of First" book for my cousins who just had a baby and I have another "ABC" book all maped out for my neice.



I hope everyone is well and staying warm, I will try to post more soon.

Blah Blah Blah

Blah Blah Blah this is how I have been feeling since the first of the year. I am uninspired, not motivated and any other words that are similar. I am forcing myself to post just to let my friends know I am still here. I am feeling alittle better today and worked on a charm bracelet for a friend. I am hoping to get back into the swing of things soon. I guess you can say I have the winter blues. I will post my Christmas Crafting soon and other goodies I worked on before the blues set.
