One World One Heart Giveaway 2010

Hello weary readers! I’m back!

Once again, I am participating in the annual One World One Heart event. This is an international blog event that started back in 2007. It’s HUGE!

For some background on the event, I’m posting exactly what Lisa, the fabulous organizer of the event has to say:
WHAT IS ONE WORLD ONE [...]

the verdict and art

Thank you to those of you who have sent me emails of hope that there was not a break in the wrist. Luckily, there was no break of bones, but two ligaments were torn. I’m using a wrist splint and will be for the next 3 weeks, when I get to have x-rays and follow-up [...]

Creative Therapy

I’m a true believer that art can be a great form of therapy. It has always been a safe haven for me. And so, when I was asked to join a design team of creative bloggers who would work on weekly journal prompts I heartily jumped in! I am now a proud member of the [...]

Holiday gifts

Thank you all for your comments about my fun girls’ weekend with Angie. We really did have an awesome time.
Since I’ve been back, I’ve been working hard on some gifts I’m making this year. The first, which is finished, I completed yesterday. It’s a cellphone pouch and a bookmark. Both are quilted and collaged with [...]

Art Journaling

This week I had some bad health stuff going on. I spent most of my days in the den reading and watching bad TV, but I’m finally back in the studio.While reading and watching the bad TV, I also did some doodling in a calendar journal for the round robin I’m in. I was happy [...]

Art, as promised!

In other news, I think I mentioned that I’m going to [...]

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 [...]

A week of art and adventure…

I’ve been busy this week. I’m sorry I have neglected my blog.
On Monday, my husband had hernia surgery. He’s fine. He’s recovered quickly, and is a fairly easy patient. I’m lucky, as I know many men turn into babies when they are ill. Dave is a trooper, and, though I’ve been helping him frequently, I [...]

Art Class at Fran’s

Well, let’s see. The last time I posted was on Thursday. Thursday evening, we met our friends at Chili’s for dinner. Jeff and Kiran have three kids: Julie -11, Miranda – 8, and Cody – 4. It was great to see them! I’ve known Jeff almost as long as I’ve known Dave, since he [...]
