Weedend in the Garden

It should actually say Weekend in the Garden.  Must be a freudian slip......haha.

Thinned out the bulbs in the front garden patch.

Organizing the bulbs at my feet.

What a mess but so much better after the clean up.

With the start of Fall its time to clean up.  If the rain holds off long enough We may get all of it done.
More next weekend as we only seem to get one day of dry weather on the weekends lately.

Special requests finished

Special necklaces for my friend Lisa's boys.
These are bear claws and the smallest one is a shark tooth.

This little person came about after working on another friends special request.
I call this figure "Little Miss Attitude"

Sometimes I have a lot of attitude.

Weddding day joy.

Here is the finished tote that I made for my beautiful neice Christina.
This was a gift for her on her wedding day.

Here is the beautiful bride and her handsome husband as they have just been married.
It was a blessing and a joy to be able to witness this wonderful moment in their lives.

Here is the latest tote for my Niece Christina.....shhhh its a surprise.

I stated with a canvas bag from Michael's.

I have added some special fabric to break up the black.

Here is the muslin panel that will be glued to the back of the original drawing.
Yes that's an iron.
No I don't use it often but I find if it has to do with art it is amazing what I will do to accomplish my goal. ha ha.

Sideways view where I have hemmed the edges to make the pocket.

Here I am trying out the sparkles and to see what the placement should be.
To bad my first try didn't go well and the first  one got wrinkled because I don't know when to leave things alone.

More experimenting with the Bling and the back panel.

Covered the paper with a nice coat of  Varnish.



I sewed smaller ribbon around the edges of the picture to give this piece a finished look.

The final panel after it is sewn onto the tote.
With each new piece I feel like that I am perfecting my creative process.

I put together four lovely dragonfly cards for a friend. 

I love Dragoflies.

Cutting out each piece is so rewarding when you see the outcome.

Beautiful.

I love the challenge of creating some fun and differnt designs.
