FRIDA

Here is another example of how I have been loving my new sewing machine! This is a postcard for my art groups Frida swap, which could be of any medium....I chose fabric, I just love going crazy with thread. Typically I am not a red person, but it seemed so fitting for this. The vintage lace came out a bit wonky, but that is how my life has been going, kinda wonky, so I just roll with it!
Thanks for taking a peek, and have a fabulous weekend all. I love your comments and I thank you so much for your kindness and support.

NESTLED

GARDEN....available on etsy here

Yes, I have been pretty much nestled in my own little house and world these days. I don't really feel like talking a lot, or writing, but I still seem to have a desire to create jewelry. I know it is becoming a great bore and quite redundant as I continue on this medical mystery journey, and this is the main reason for my hibernation. I have to start an ivig treatment next week, I am nervous, I am still waiting for results of more tests, and I am tired , and it is all such a downer. So I may post a lot of pics , but may not write too much. I love to still bop in on everyone's blogs, because they make me happy!

Thanks for visiting and al your wonderful comments.

WORDLESS WEDNESDAY

CHERISH

I started making some new necklaces this weekend. I really have been loving cloth and material these days, so I wanted to incorporate that in my jewelry. I also have wanted to use some of my vintage parts and pieces, little details that are so special to me, so I came up with these, and I am pretty happy with them. They convey how I feel, and the cloth gives me that added warm feel that I like so much....comfortable. You can find these on my etsy by clicking here.
This gorgeous girl is a transfer on a beautiful handmade heart that my sweet friend Marie sent me. Isn't she precious? Marie is a very gifted and talented friend, and if you don't know her blog already, visit her here, at Lost Bird Studio. She sent me some other goodies, including a tea, which I love since I made a cup already! And that little red velvet tag is just so perfect. Thank you so much Marie!

And thank you to everyone visiting and looking and commenting, you are all special.

REMEMBER THIS?

Remember this from a few days ago, a cover for my journal this year? Well, as my mind would have it there has been a change of plans. I don't fight the inner turmoil anymore, I just go with it! Don't get me wrong, I like it a lot, but it just wasn't what I wanted......soooooo, this is what I made instead. I have been obsessed with my new sewing machine, and can finally do all the things I want to do, and this was one of them. I am happy with this, and I really love creating this. I have a bizillion other ideas, but this is good for now! Don't fret, this is a jacket that I made to go over the cover, so I can pull it off at any time to see the other art underneath.


You all know how I love that word "within", it says so much to me...I believe each one of us has the power within to be, do, or believe whatever we need. I have been greatly influenced over the past year by Ruth Rae's book, Layered, Tattered, and Stitched. The words ...my soul shall be...what lies within, are text to use from her book, and oh boy, when I saw those, I knew this was meant to be, these are my words, this is what I feel , all the time.
Found the adorable farthing coin on a vintage charm bracelet....perfect with the vintage and grungy looking button.

Dyed cheesecloth I did sometime ago

On another note, as I have been scattered all over the place with creativity here and there, two more pairs of earrings I just listed on etsy, you can find them here.

Thanks so much for taking a peek today , I always appreciate your visits and comments.
