Funny story about this bowl…it started out life as a rug.
What I mean is, I was trying to make a braided rug but somehow it started curling upward as I stitched the braids together. Instead of pulling it all out and starting over I punted and made a bowl. I really like the look of it. I may try to starch it so it has more stability or I’ll just choose what I store in it very wisely.

I forgot to mention that a good share of the strips of fabric are from my dad’s old button down shirts. They were so worn that the only thing they were worth was rags…or a rug gone wrong. :)



I needed to warm myself up so I created this Spring inspired altered book page.
Now doesn’t that make you feel a little warmer already…

The doily was snagged from a free box at a garage sale. I used my favorite UHU twist & glue on all the fabric pieces. I sprinkled some fine glitter over the page to cover any spots that the glue seeped through. Made it look like a meant to do that. Maybe I should have just kept quiet and you’d just go along thinking how brilliant I am. Just kidding!!
I think I’ve been shut in too long. Cabin fever is setting in. Symptoms may include: laughing at yourself, by yourself and imagining everyone else thinks you are hysterically funny too.

For the first time in 10 years I stayed awake to the ring in the New Year! Hooray! Ok, it was completely overrated. :)

I have set some goals for myself for the coming year. I’m calling them goals, not resolutions.

ART:

SELF:

  • get back to eating healthy
  • get back to my exercise routine

HOME:

  • paint the kitchen cupboards
  • plant more veggies
  • de-cluttter in prep for a monster garage sale
  • repurpose and recycle more


2009…the year I’d like to have skipped.

Instead of dwelling on all the negativity, I am making the decision to just move forward.

2010 has got to be a better year than the last!

My daughter came rushing in from playing in the snow….

“Mom!! Look what I found! It’s a cross!!”

I was awestruck.
