Grads, Dads, and Birthdays Let the Summer Begin

I have been so neglectful of my blogging while being caught up in all the festivities with family that I thought I should do a post.
In between a little art gets done but nothing to share just yet! I'm really proud of my Granddaughters that just graduated, first one from High School. Off to ASU in the Fall!

                                                            Second one from Jr High.

My little Grandson last but not least, is so full of fun and cake. Yep, turning Five and getting to start Kindergarten in the Fall is a big deal especially if you are the last Grandchild. So Congrats to all of them as they begin new journey's!       

Alice In Wonderland

Here are a few  paper dolls I recently created in Vintage style. The theme is Alice In Wonderland and one other Character. We were to include some fabric in our set. Alice is wearing an apron created from a vintage dinner napkin and cut down stockings from a very old doll sock.  Mr Rabbit is wearing a vest created from some vintage felt gifted to me by a grandson of a neighbor. Fun, fun!
Speaking of fun, I'm taking a great class over at Artful Gathering called "Beyond Time". You should check it out along with many others. We are creating a mini book and I love it!  The link is on my sidebar if you want to try!
Today I'm linking up with Etsy Cottage Vintage Style for their monthly blog hop.

Where Did the Month of May Go?

Wow is all I can say, seems like I just posted not that long ago and the month got away from me:)
So be it, here we are beginning June and to make matters worse I didn't get my May Quilt block even started. I guess I will be busy over the summer or early Fall. Here are my May Tags for my latest Swap and our theme is "Geishas".  I'm pretty happy with the way they turned out and the challenge I threw out there way to use Tea, Tea tags or Tea bags in your Tags, I did some of each, can you find them?
I also completed 4 lap size Quilts for our church group where we donate quilts for a variety of needs. Nope no pic's but Ill try to get better at remembering to photograph them:) A couple were pretty cute too!                                                                                                  

Playing with Royalty

Here are the most recent ATC's I just finished for an upcoming Swap over at Roses. The theme is Royals and it opened the door to endless possibilities with all the images available. Lots of fun, glitter and bling for these  Royal ladies!

Sliding in Under the Wire .... Finally Finished CQ April 2014

Sharing my April  2014 CQ Block for the Crazy Quilt Challenge, Finally I say.. as I was running out of silk ribbon for my flowers and now I'm totally out of green for leaves. Out came the pre made flowers for fill in so it could be finished on time:) Don't you just hate that when you run out of a main supply when you are in the middle of a project, well I do. Time to place an order before I start another square! I'm determined to keep on this project just because... I tend to jump around a bit in my creative endeavors, do you do that? I have room filled with UFO's I call them (unfinished objects) and Im trying to change my ways, lol we will see as time goes on .......when I finish my two half done Santos and four paper clay bird girls. Yes, guilty most of the time and ready to start another doll project, fabric this time.....I think I need another lifetime to finish everything....Well so much for that...until I post again

Wishing You a Happy Easter and Happy Spring

Wishing you a wonderful weekend however you celebrate!  Happy Easter and Happy Spring from our home to yours:)

Gift For A Friend

Finally getting a post up before I start one more thing!  A Gift for a Friend that I created with a little barks cloth, image transfer onto fabric, sari silk, vintage lace and shabby paper flowers.  Linking up today with  Cottage Stitchery for our Wednesday Blog Hop.
For those of you dreaming of Spring, I'm sure it is on its way. Today we are blessed with a beautiful 85  degrees if not more so it must be headed in your direction:)
