Back from treatment

I’m back from my treatment today. We started at 8:30 a.m. and I didn’t finish until 12:45 p.m. We went really slowly so that I didn’t have nausea. So far, this has worked. I’m sitting in the den catching up on email.
I’m blessed to have Angie in my life. She offered to put the kids [...]

First Commission

I got my first commission request for the pouches. Shirley McCutcheon (who is in the current issue of Somerset Memories!) asked me to make a bag for her Garmin Nuvi GPS. She preferred blue. Well, I was so excited to start on this project that I have done little else art-wise since she ordered it. [...]

More sewing, friends, and more!

Well, I am in love. My new Pfaff is JUST AMAZING! I even went out and bought a case at JoAnn’s at half-price, because I know I can’t take Katie Kendrick’s class at Art Unraveled in two weeks without the NICE machine. I can’t believe I planned to go with the other machine. I don’t [...]

Phone Pouches

I am so excited to share with you some new cell phone pouches. These are available now in my Etsy store! See below the six that I have just listed. Three are the smaller pouches that are for flip phones and smaller electronics, like iPod Nanos. All of these cases include vintage kimono fabrics that [...]

Vacation Continued

I know I said I’d share some photos, but, well, it’s vacation! We had a fabulous time. I’m so lucky, because Dave and I really enjoy time together. We listened to books on our iPods, music, and talked for all the hours we were driving. We shared the driving and stopped frequently for coffee! We [...]

Snowbird, UT

Dave and I are in Snowbird, UT now. We left at 2 am on Friday morning to drive from Phoenix all the way to Snowbird, which is southeast of Salt Lake City. I used to do a lot of travel into UT on a regular basis for my job as publisher of Scrapbooking.com Magazine. It [...]

Art to share and pictures, as promised

As promised, I’m sharing with you some of the things I’ve been creating for the past two weeks. First some paper and fabric collage cards - a stationary set. This will be in my etsy shop later today.

This stationery package has six different but coordinating cards. The cards are all handmade, each is [...]

Health Update

Quick health update: I saw my doctor yesterday at 7 am (yes, that’s “7:00 in the blessed a.m.” as Colonel Potter used to say on M*A*S*H!). My hearing was tested and I was examined. Apparently, my hearing is at one of its best levels. And, well, there’s nothing that they can do for the hyperacusis [...]

Of health

I’ve been working hard the past week. I’ll share photos tomorrow, since I’m not planning to take photos this evening! I prefer the daylight background with my lighting. I have been working on some drawings and I have been creating some cell phone purses for my friend’s shop that will open later this [...]

Feeling artistic

I’m feeling a lot more artistic today than I was last evening. I have spent the morning working on my projects for the mixed media for fabric class with Joggles. On this Thursday, my class will have its last session, so I wanted to try to get some work done on it before then.
But first [...]
