WOYWW? Just A Swangin'

Woo Hoo!  My work desk has been filled with blue fabric swatches the past two days.  Here is the finished creation I promised you on Monday.  Now it's back to the studio to work on other projects, mainly a beautiful burlap box.  Stay tuned!

Blue Monday Fabric Collage In the Making

We are having horribly high winds and devastating wildfires here in Central Texas due to hurricane Lee.  Our prayers go out to those who have lost homes and property. 
I hurriedly snapped this grouping this morning before it was gone with the wind.  This is really just a sneak peak of what I will create later today but I was impatient, as usual!  I'll post the finished product later...stay tuned!  In the meantime,,,tell me about your fondest memories of swinging in your backyard! Go to Blue Monday on Smiling Sally's blog to see more interesting things made by some creative individuals. http://www.smilingsally.blogspot.com/

Hello!

Hello There! Can't wait for you to see what I'm working on this weekend!  Stay tuned!  In the meantime...here's a piece I did several months ago!  It honors my old elementary school, Twelfth Street Elementary School.  Sadly, it is no longer standing! Fun times at that old school and on that playground!

Fine Rusty Junk!

WOYWW! Today I was the lucky recipient of some fine rusty junk!  My friends invited me to come pick through a box of things they left on their carport for me.  What fun I had looking through all the stuff they discarded.  Thank you Jackie and Harold!  I can't wait to create something new with this fine junk.  Hey, who can find the animal teeth or the crystal prism? Czech out  WOYWW see what others are working on today.

What's On Your Workdesk? Wednesday

WOYWW!  While my computer takes her happy time loading I go back and forth to the work desk and make handmade greeting cards. I like to cut the corrugated cardboard beverage sleeves from Starbucks into small pieces and use them on each card for a little "punch".  Often times I use trinkets found on the floor of my studio (scary) or on my workdesk. Gold and colorful thread works nicely, too!

Blue Monday - Paper or Plastic?

Paper or plastic?  Paper, of course!  I'll be teaching my paper bag hat making class at the fabulous Frills in Taylor, Texas on Thursday evening, September 1!  Seen here in the photo is a sampling of the kind of hat you can create from a simple paper bag.  All you need is: a large paper bag, acrylic paint, tacky glue, trinkets and silk flowers/leaves!  My hat is BLUE, but yours can be the color of your choice!  I just love this aqua/lagoon shade of blue.   Click here to see more BLUE creations on the "Blue Monday" blog site.

More Newel Posts

More interesting newel posts!  We saw these when we were on our recent trip to the beautiful North Woods of Wisconsin and the fabulously green fields of Indiana!  The stone walkway was built some time during the 1930's.  Isn't it exquisite?
