EXCITING CHANGES TO COME!!!

Dick and I have made some big changes for the year to come!! We are downsizing to free us up to do the things we have always wanted to do ..... that is.... free to travel, spend more time together, follow His lead for new adventures, no more retail store after 27 years, more time with kids, but still MORE ART and probably some sewing classes for girls ..... that is a dream right now ..... but the ART won't stop, it will be here on the blog as soon as we finish remodeling our NEW/OLD smaller home about 20 miles away. SO STAY TUNED ... we'll be having a big sale and beautiful house and property SALE in the SUMMER!! MORE FREEDOM ON IT'S WAY!!! WooHoo!!! And THANKS for all your support the last twenty seven years in my shop!!!

BOO HOO! LAST PROJECT?...no it isn't!!

We have DO ANOTHER PROJECT I'll post next week, hopefully more pinwheels and diamonds.....but different!!!  YAY!!  LOVE THIS CLASS....Peyton loves her journal to take home!!  Grand daughter's journal with her art below!!





The brush was cut out then sewed on the page....everything in this journal is SEWN on....












The wonderful and fun class by Mary Ann Moss called SEWN has finished but what you learn continues and continues. SOOO.... With my grand daughter here we doodled five pages of card stock each. Then she picked the diamond and we cut them all out. Then she arranged them then I sewed them into her journal cover. Also I made her two signatures using all the scraps into inspiration pages for her to finish when she wants to paint or doodle.  She IS an artist...age seven and quite accomplished!!!  So here is another result of learning to sew paper!! Looks like I'll be saving a lot of mod podge since I now sew it all on the page!! Woo HOO!!! Thank you Mary Ann Moss!!!! Blessings to you!!

SO A BIG DEAL?...YES, IT WAS!!!

One big patterns journal cover cut, pieced, sewn!!!  It is only the cover so far at 11x17 one side. I am using it right now just as a folder to hold all the painted patterns.  Ok, so it is not my usual detailed water colors with lots of preparations and drawing first but let me tell you how fun painting the patterns was!  No thinking or planning.  Just putting on color like a child would. You know just playing, praying and having fun!!  Well, I wonder what the next surprise project will be for our patterns!!? Enjoy and blessings to you!

ASK AND YE SHALL RECEIVE.....

GLORIOUS FUN WITH BRUSH, PAINT,INKS, CRAYONS....WATER....CAN'T WAIT TO SEE WHAT WE DO WITH ALL THIS IN THE SEWN CLASS  WITH MARY ANN MOSS!!!  Not sure why there is a big space here!!! Anyway, the first attempt to do the link up came up blank, but there are more patterns in JUNE if you would like to look!!  The butterfly one with words is for a youth in our church...or a copy of it.....these were truly relaxing and fun to do and I think I will never ever stop!!! THANK YOU MARY ANN!!!!  The 12th design down (lots of black and grey lines with orange, red, oval shapes connected) is actually the design of another on Pinterest...can't find who, but I tried a similar look here....so it is not my original thought....but do love the black lines!


























Here are patterns painted,drawn, created for the class I am taking from Mary Ann Moss.  SEWN. What a delightful name for a class. It leaves your mind thinking of all the possibilities. And tomorrow we will find out what to do with these!!!  I just know that no doodling ever done again will be neglected or lay unused!  That is just how a friend of mine operates ... All things are possible thru Him!  Enjoy!!
