A good day

It hit 54 here today! Sat in the sun with a glass of wine - was a bit of heaven! We have had a ton of snow in Maine this winter with bouts of extreme cold so today was a huge treat. Back in the art room for a bit, reorganizing, cleaning out and jotting down 100 projects I want to take on, not to mention the list for the wedding.....

Here are more pics from the button collection.

Sweet Girl and her Prince


Sweet Girl and her Prince! Aren't they just the cutest? Their wedding day is coming up fast yesterday we did flowers - hours of picking out flowers and "helped" with the Tux pic for the guys. We have lists for lists and then more lists. I just keep thinking is will all be incredible! To see her in her gown was just amazing. I will post more as we start to create a Fairy Tale wedding.

Something Beautiful


Thought I would share a pic of some of my button treasures, just a few of the stash I have accumulated. I think they are so beautiful and will be making their appearance in some finished projects soon.

Here is another Felt and beaded bag my sweet friend Kelly and I made. She made the deep purple felted bag with funky eyelash fringe and I needle felted the flowers and added bead accents. We are very please with it! I am really getting into the needle felting, these were only my second attempts at flowers - not bad huh? Sort of reminds me of working with modeling clay.

Room out of control and the winner is.......

OK, I am late! My daughter would tell you it is the story of my life! But better late than never? The winner of the bracelet is GinaAgain, please visit her at Ginaagain.blogspot.com
This was a wonderful event and I look forward to next year (hint, hint). I love all the new sites I had the opportunity to visit that I never would have known about if it were not for this event. Please continue to visit, I look forward to hearing from all of you.
Cheers!

The art room is out of control! Too much going on - at once. I will get organized again.......

Did you hear something? I really need to clean this room!

Fix me, fix me!

Much Better now! Too bad an entire strand of crystals were lost from this vintage beauty. But the good thing is the rest survived. The owner, a friend, at least will have the balance of her Aunt's treasure.

Felting and Beads!













Hi, I wanted to post a little something my girlfriend and I have been up to, she is the felter and I am the beader. Sweet little bag that we are making for a friend. The lining you see next to the bag is made from a vintage dress that belonge to our friend's Mother. The bag is done in felted crochet, the strap is spiral rope beading and the closure is a vintage button from my collection. Pretty cute!
Hope you have a great Wednesday. I am off tomorrow for Massachusetts to stay with my Daughter, we are going wedding dress shopping, sweet girl is getting married in July!
