Art Tote

I finished this Art Tote yesterday and posted it on Etsy today.
Pretty happy with how it turned out, purchased a new book this weekend on creating paper fabric. I believe that will be my next project.
My mother inlaw brought me a bag of interesting fabrics from her Route 66 travels. So I am sure it will be showing up soon in my projects!
going to the Des Moines Art Fair this weekend to look for inspiration.

Art Purses

I've been working on art purses this week. I have done paintings on fabric and made purses with the paintings on the front. One is for my mother in law. She loves pansies and found some material she fell in love with...so had to do a flower lady purse for her. Hope to post pics in next few days.
It is not raining here today. First day in a week or so. The rest of the week there is a chance each day , so we have to make the most of it!

Recovering

this has been a tough week after being sick this weekend. I am not sure what it is or was but wouldn't wish it on anyone. so I haven't worked on any projects. I hope to work on a thing or two today. Will post new pics as soon as I can.

Facebook

Well, I finally did what I said I would never do....joined facebook!
"This just in...The hunt is on for cute boots!" I had no idea how much there is to learn to have a blog and to have facebook. I am learning..bare with me!

Twirly skirts! Don't we love them!

Wonderful weekend

We had a wonderful long weekend , wish it would have gone on for a week! My Dad turned 80 yrs.old and the whole family went on a picnic to celebrate. Matthew got a new camera and took alot of pictures,which I will post some of . He had the kids modeling....the girls loved it! I did finish the dress for my 11 yr old granddaughter. I also made a skirt for myself .This week we have a kindergartner who is graduating and I am making shorts and top for her present. Almost done with those, and then I am on to my artwork purse. I will share pics as soon as I can about the purse. It will go on Etsy. Hope you all had wonderful weekend too and a creative week!
