Test results are in and everything is A-OK with my heart!

I have a little leaky valve but it's OK.

Artful weekend ahead...hope you have one too.

friday bliss

Yay! It's Friday and the last doctor appointment for a while...I hope. Today I get the results of all the tests I've been having. Fingers crossed.

Another little girl ballerina bag. Front....

....and back

...be artful!
and have a great weekend

flu shot bluez

Yep, got my flu shot yesterday and was fine until last night about 10:30 when every muscle in my body felt so sore I had to go to bed. A little better this morning but still feel like a truck ran over me.

Today, I get my broken crown fixed. No not that kind....the one on my tooth. Maybe they can just numb my whole body.....yeah...dream on.

This is a bag for a little ballerina.

...don't forget to work some art into your day...

no lunch tuesday

It's already Tuesday and no time for lunch with the girls today. It's deadline time...need to work work work!



Here is my sweet little Santa. He is 6 and a quater inches high and has a clothes pin with a magnet on his back so you can hang up your Christmas list. I actually made a bunch of angels this way and used them to hang up my Christmas cards. My front door was metal and they looked nice hanging on the back.

...he's ready for his close up

hope you have a great hair day!

another monday.....

This was basically my weekend....making angel dolls. The dresses are reds, greens and some beigey Christmas prints....beigey?

...no bucket of wings here...bucket of heads

I get all the component parts made then have fun putting them all together. I like creating the hair...then the personalities begin to emerge.

my current read

I am loving this issue. It is always fun to see where other women create and a good source for decorating and storage ideas. I read in a different magazine where a woman didn't have a place for creating and she rented a storage space and made it her studio...now that is extreme..but an option. I could not imagine not having a place to create art.

think pink today!

fabric friday

This bag was created as a book bag with special dimensions for a friends daughter.


I forgot to photograph the lining fabric. It's a flowery print with lots of colors.

...and speaking of fabric...I got my hands on some yummy stuff last weekend. Can't wait to play with these!

Nothing special planned for this weekend so hopefully it will be artful.

...hope you have an artful weekend too!

new doll

I am running late today. AOL was not cooperating so I had to switch over to Comcast so I could post. I designed a new smaller angel doll for a class. She has a rusty heart around her neck and a tiny rusted halo on her bald head. I think she is sweet. Her pink cheeks aren't showing up on this photo.

I put a coffee mug next to her to show the size. She also has some rusty bells back on her wings.

Have to get my Esty shop going so I can sell these before Christmas.

Hope you're having a good Wednesday.
