Hello,Hello

Hi Everyone, NOOOOOOO

I have not been hibernating.

Anything but.....

Just celebrated our 56th wedding anniversary on Sept 11,(1954).. A lovely romantic dinner just the two of us at a very special restaurant that we love...... we never seem to lack for things to say to each other....

Then...... all the guilds I belong to starting are up.

I belong to Fibre Arts, Oxford Quilt Guild, and my tap dancing class, plus I have been taking a couple of online classes.....LOL.

I got accepted into a juried sale of art so I am busy trying to get some things ready for a show and sale.. I tell you never a dull moment...Will try and have some more pictures soon.

I love this time of year with the cooler days.. Seems to spark my creativity, instead of being a SLUG in the very hot summer....VBG....Have a beautiful day

xoxo

Healing /Comfort Spirit Dolls

I have been busy working on my spirit/comfort dolls... They are about 3 inches tall and are loaded with beads and charms. Each color has it's own meaning

I make the faces and give them a crackle finish which I love doing.

I will put some in my Etsy shop and hopefully I will have more for a gallery sale later this fall.

Let's try AGAIN!

Trying to do a pretty signature... This has been a waste of time in my opinion.
I get the thing to the post but how to I get it to do that automatically on each post???????

I am trying to figure out how to make my signature pretty!
Let's see if I can do it?

I thought you might like to see some of the creations I have made.. I hope you enjoy the show..PS 3-D glasses are not necessary!

A Smile

I was sitting here surfing and on the hour my cuckoo clock here on my blog counted out 11 cuckoos...Every time I hear it it makes me smile.

"Henry" is smiling too.... He is one of the art doll faces I make...

A very happy chap.

Hope everone has a wonderful day...

This and That

Isn't this a pretty picture.

Here's the story...

DH found a dead butterfly in the garage...so pretty...

WTG ...DH

BTW I guess I haven't been around lately. sorry about that, but I "Have" been busy.

I am taking a journal class from http://kiwicarole.blogspot.com/ so I have been busy doing that..I was late staring the class so I am behind the others.

I needed some TAP (transfer artist paper) and I thought that was what I was ordering but when I tried what I got, it is not working very well ..

I ordered some from Interweave, so I am looking forward to receiving that so I can continuw with my journal.

Meanwhile I am working on some more Healing Spirits.

It is our long week-end here in Ontario .It is a civic holiday which takes place the 1st Monday in August...

Seems long week ends mean very little when one is retired!!

That's all for now, Hope to have something of interest for you faithful followers soon...

Hope everyone is having a lovely summer.

Beautiful Sky

Icouldn't believe the sky this evening. It cast a yellow hue far and wide...Unfortunately

the pictures does not really show that..

It was a full rainbow ....so beautiful. I took the picture from the deck so I couldn't get the wide shot...

PS.... Are the overhead wires a hint that I live in a small town?!?!?
