Wishing You All The Blessings Of The Season From Our Home To Yours

A Year Gone By? Oh My!

I can't believe it has been almost 2 months since I have done a post, all I can say is "oh my" what a year it has been. Oldest Grandchild off to college and youngest off to Kindergarten! Not sure where the time has flown but it definitely got away from me:)  I thought I would play a bit of catch up before the year is completely gone. This is my Block # Five for my CQJP 2014 project, I did get at least 1/2 way  through the Year, so it will get worked on in my UFO pile as I start CQJP 2015

I'll share more before the New Year begins and get in a few more post, perhaps another block, a few holiday gifts I created and some Journal covers for my Roses 2015 Journal Journey project. 

Meanwhile have a great weekend and have fun if you are still shopping for gifts, thank goodness I'm finished and wrapped!  Happy Holidays to all!

Trick or Treat and Happy Halloween to All

Happy Halloween to all,  from my Trick or Treaters! Have a Spooktacular time young and old.
Sharing a little bit of  Halloween fun with you as I haven't had any time to prepare any post but know your in my thoughts while I'm busy creating and getting ready for another New Adventure:)
Stay tuned as some new fun creations are in the works!

"Claire" An Outlander Inspiration

Happy Friday everyone, bloggers, FB friends and creators everywhere:)

I'm  kind of behind on my post these days, I'm sorry to say.  Unfortunately it is still pretty warm here so I'm not to motivated to do much of anything except try and stay cool! I have finished up my Art Doll class over at Artful Gathering and managed to complete three dolls. The third one I will save closer to Halloween by the way:) This is my second doll  I completed after starting to watch the new series "Outlander" on Starz1. It has been on about a month and I love it, I know probably some of you have read the book but I haven't so no Spoiler tales here:)

"Claire" has been whisked back in time from the early 1900's  about 200 years so somewhere into the 1700's . She is suspected to be a Witch but I don't know thus far if she is or not. This is my version of "Claire" as a Witch  and a pretty one she is. If you haven't started watching it yet, I highly recommend it.

I have started back on my CQ 2014 and I'm working on block # 5 of my "Lovely Ladies" Quilt and it is coming right along, hopefully I will get caught up on the blocks and will be sharing with you before long.  Until then stay cool, keep creating and enjoying your days, spend them well they are a gift:)

Fun With Artist Trading Blocks

Happy Monday! A little bit of colorful fun to share with summer coming to an end:) Yay!!   Since I'm looking forward to Fall I thought I would send August out with this ATB,  then next week show you a little bit of Halloween. I have been busy trying to get some squares pieced for my ongoing "Lovely Ladies" Crazy Quilt Sampler so back to the sewing machine I go!
Have a great creative week all you bloggers out there!

Gypsy Queen "Faith Keeper"

In the heat of the summer, yes Heat as it has been sweltering here in Sunny Ca. I have been trying to complete an Art Doll class over at Artful Gathering:) I'm almost finished and it has been the most enjoyable distraction from the warmth and while trying to stay cool I have learned quite a new techniques to use in other areas of my Art. Not to get to lengthy here I'll show you pic's of one of my Art dolls and then show you another later this week. I leave you with my Gypsy Queen, Faith Keeper holding keys to secrets of life. 

"Dreaming" My Little Art Book

I just finished my tiny book from my online book class I was taking at Artful Gathering. What I great class! I learned many new techniques to apply to my book/journal making and had a great time in the process. It is always fun to learn new things and reinforce the old. Here are a few pic's of my 2 x 3 in little book.
