A Sign

Hi Friends
I am back at the craft table today
making a new sign for
the downstairs
front door side window.

Instead of using canvas cloth
as I had with my previous sign
shown in first picture,
I'm using duck cloth.
I don't have to use gesso to
prep the surface.
Although I do
us fray check to bind
the edges to keep
them from unraveling.

This is the front door/window.
I'll take a picture of sign hanging up
was it dries and I hang it.

So many beads...

so little time!
Well, I have time, but
I've not been inspired to create with
beads, just yet.
Hopefully before too long
I will be.

I root through my cards box.
The hope is to send out
timely correspondence
instead of thinking of it
and then not following through.

I found this clear storage bin at
JoAnne Fabric
on sale. I"m organizing
birthday, note cards and
general holiday stuff.

Between painting sign, organizing cards
and general sketching and creating...

I'm never too busy to stop
and text message with my daughter.
She sent me a picture of my grandson
in his crib.
His attention is drawn to lighted
items, iPad, mobile and day light through the window.
I do think he may be curious like his Nana ;)

My next project...
putting colour to several of these sketches.
Cheers~

November Happenings

Today is Veterans Day. This is a painting I started
some time back. It's of my Dad when he was
serving in the military.

A Note of Thank's I doodled on for my Nephew.

Charge...

Sending some love via the post

Huge is looking at me oddly today!

This was a mistake I made on canvas,
but didn't have the heart to toss out.

I turned 50 last week.
Part of why I've not posted much
so far, here on my blog.
I wanted to just relax and ponder things.
This pictured is my new Mini iPad.
Was my default (3rd) birthday gift from
my mate.
We went in to get iMac, learned of new one coming out
next month, so then we decided on iPhone 5, store didn't
have the GB amount I wanted...soooooo
we settled on a white, 64GB Mini iPad.
I'm a lucky birthday girl!
:)

My Inspiring Space!

Finally finished culling through all my art/craft/sewing supplies.
This is the first picture from my panorama series, starting as I stand in the middle of
my art room circling round to the right...
All my art supplies on first shelf, next all my art related books and third shelf, jewelry supplies.
A sneak peak of sewing table to the rights, and far left, my desk...

Sewing table.
All my patterns are under the table in Joanne's fabric bags.
 Recycled cloth & stuff under in bin.

Notions shelf. Buttons, irons, fushable web, art cloth dolls,
sock dolls. Cross stitch, felting supplies,
Thread, binding, elastic, needles, scissors, snaps...

Recycled clothes, baskets of material.
Boxes of felt,
costumes (finished & works in progress)

My heat and seal sits utop
of my rubber stamp/printing supplies cart.
Femo/clay art supplies, carving supplies.

I miss my friend from all around the world!
When I look at this, it reminds me I'm not alone.

Ummm, I still own allot of bags.
 And this is AFTER I culled through and tossed about two dozen.
Yikes!

Paints organized!

Art corner. My work and my Mum's stuff.
I miss her allot!

My desk. Normally my computer isn't sitting on it.
I keep it on the wire rack just next to desk.

Better shot of my fabric,
recycled clothing stash,
and a hint of my collection of costumes,
starting far right.

I've forgotten to take photos of my multi-media supplies
 and scrapbook paper collection...next blog post.
Now I need to start creating.
