fabric fun....

Thanks to Teesha Moore and her YouTube videos, for getting me back into some creativity. The fabric journal video in particular was exciting to me because of the fabric and thread. I was having some uninspired days, so working with the fabric & thread (an old love of mine) brought me back to life!
Here is the link to her fabric journal video: http://youtu.be/2Cm4RoEsgl0

Here are the little pillows / panels I made......(one of them has a fabric transfer of my artwork)

I decided to sew my panels together to form a bag (instead of a journal)

Thank You Teesha Moore......I loved doing this.....


....now I am off to get paper to make the Amazing 16 Page Journal
Here is the link to the video: http://youtu.be/1z6qmXGRrsE

looking for "Joy" in all the wrong places....

I loved the new scent coming from my sister's freshly laundered clothes...and when I asked her what she was wearing, she said that it was from her dryer sheets...they were FLEECY Aroma Therapy....and she thought they were called "JOY"

So off I went to the store to find some JOY and it wasn't there.....so then went to another store and unfortunately they were all out of JOY as well....I waited a week and then went back to find JOY and still none to be had....so I compromised and bought RELAX instead....it was a nice scent...but I still had a longing for JOY.

Then one day when I was talking to my sister on the phone, I remembered to ask her where she got her JOY from....she laughed and said that it wasn't JOY ...it was CALM

Funny how life gives you messages....here I am feeling pretty good after transplant surgery....wanting to get back into things....like going back to school next month or so...and the agency that is helping me with funding (which will be delayed for 6-12 months) are telling me to slow down and take time to heal....be CALM

Please remain CALM

Just like the announcers voice at the beginning of the Cirque Du Soleil show....in case of fire, please remain calm....if the tent starts filling up with water, no need to panic...Please remain CALM

so...CALM it is

coolest calling card...

This has got to be the coolest thing I've seen in awhile...a business card in the form of a coin! If someone handed that to me....I would hire them on the spot....GREAT idea!
