CQ Project February 2014 "Lovely Ladies" Sampler

Sharing my February Crazy Quilt Block for my "Lovely Ladies Sampler" for 2014. This was originally a much smaller block with just a triangle center. I totally re-constructed it, removing elements and added more fabric so I could begin again. Why? You may think.  Well I loved the images and liked where I had began but needed it larger as I wanted to use it in this years Sampler. I started thinking I was going to create a Fabric book but after seeing a few I changed my mind as I feel that it will have a larger impact as a CQ Sampler. I'm really glad I switched gears as now I'm on my March CQ block and can see it will come together beautifully. It was actually more work to re-construct than it was to start from scratch but I didn't want two of  anything with the same image, made sense to me:)

Well as you can see this is what I do with my evening hours as in the daytime I create totally different types of Art, mixed media, paper clay projects, and fabric/paper projects along with my swap groups I participate in and one I host.  Tags, ATC's and Paper Dolls are a fun way to keep creative and expand your knowledge with techniques and new supplies/mediums.

Hope you all have a great weekend, regardless of what you love to do:)

"Cottage Paper Crafts" Wednesday's Blog Party "Paper Dolls"

 Today I'm joining Wednesday's Cottage Craft Party to share the love of creating with paper. Just one of the many things I love to do. These are a few that I have  created for swapping and thought it would be fun to re-visit them. I belong to Le Papier Dolls Swap Group over at Roses On My Table and these were done over the past year or two. Just another fun thing to do, and if you know me I like to have me some Fun! Have a great creative week and enjoy doing what you love:)

Grow Your Own Blog Party

Today I'm joining Vicki from  2 Bags Full for her 2nd Annual Blog Party. I'm sure there will be many blogs to visit, so I'm going to  have a lot of fun and I'll try to get by and visit as many as I can as it is always another adventure to find more creative souls to visit and share with.  I hope you will do the same:) 

I'm Marilou a mixed media Artist  and dabbler who loves to create with fibers, fabrics and paper and pretty much anything else that tugs at my heart. While loving to try new techniques and products  I'm always going in several directions at once. I'm an active member of  Roses On My Table and Group Leader of the Tag Art  Swap Group. If you love to make Tags you can come visit me there or here on my Blog for other Artistic adventures. These are the my Tags I created for the current Swap "Queen Of Hearts"

Another favorite is making Paper Art Dolls for Swaps. Here are the latest of those "Winter Fairy Queens"

If you are wondering why there is a lapse in post for awhile a few months ago I had a bad fall and broke my ankle. Now that I'm starting to get on my feet more regular posting can be expected.

Above are a few things I love to create along with a year long project of making a Crazy Quilt Sampler which I usually work on during the evening while watching the TV. 

If you would enjoy checking out past creations click on the link titled My Art under my header:)

Last but not least I would like to Thank Vicki for all the hard work and time put into hosting this Annual event! Big Hugs Vicki and thank you:)

Out of Commission for Awhile

Hi there my dear blogging friends! Before you think I'm gone for good I thought I would try to get a post up and let you know I will be out of commission for awhile.  I had a nasty fall and now I'm on the mend, slowly but surely. A big thank you to all my friends at Roses On My Table  for all the love and support you have shown me and the emails I have received from blogging friends too. Know that you are in my thoughts as I take time to heal and will be back soon. Love to all! xoxo
