Little People

I have been painting my fingers off!

This has been a delicious week for inspiration and creating an entire miniature world.

I am a very happy lady...

ENJOY!

White on White

Of course, they are not really "White on White,"

But the white pen on the glass is sooooo cool, I think.

I always think of my mom when I use this white ink/paint.

She loves it...and I guess I got that from her.

....nice....

thanks, Kiki...xo

The village is filling up with tiny houses, surrounded by evergreens.

Here is a better photo of the Gaggle of Geese:

I am having so much fun making these miniatures for the

FIREFLY HANDMADE Autumn Market

Had to make a few smaller trees, too, to "fill in" those empty spaces.

 

If you are around the end of September, please come by!

LACE in the Dordogne

We spent Wednesday at Ali Baba and then Brantome - nice day, but we were pooped out when we got back

The lace I found was satisfying, though, and for the first time I was pretty discerning in my choices. I was pleased to find some different little "dentelles" for my collection.

And, how does one resist the bindings and lace ribbon?

I can't.

Now, the rains have come and we are tucked into l'Espace working on our projects.

We were in Riberac this morning for the market. We had some lunch and then hopped in the car to be home. Some are napping and some are cozy at our tables being worker bees. I will share the results tomorrow.

bliss........sigh.......

FRANCE

It is July in France and the sunflower fields are bursting! The weather has been up and down - lots of sun mixed with huge thunderstorms that cool everything off. Awoke to fog yesterday, but today is blissfully filled with sunlight peeking through the clouds....glorious.

There was a festival in town a couple of weeks ago and the "flowers" are still in place. It is so magical (!) and they last through the storms because they are all plastic! Fantastic.....

I am so happy to be here again....kind of like my Mecca......

More later......have a great day wherever you are....xo

I have been taking a class on Tuesday evenings the last 6 weeks and it has opened new windows of inspiration for me....I am soooooo grateful to my friend, Jodi, for introducing me to this New World!

This may be my favorite, though I feel that way about most of them......

.....and I LOVE this one, too! So different for me.....

...and not last OR least, these birds make me smile.

Wonder where this will take me......

Hope you are ALL having a great day.......xoxo

A New Project

I started this heart back in November.

I have finally returned to it and am pretty happy about the way it is coming along.

It is a birthday gift for my young friend, Addison.

She is home from college for an internship and I want to give it to her this weekend.

I sure hope she likes it.

Looking Back

Here are a few photos of some of the goodies I made for the Faire at Christmastime.

Since I had not figured out how to upload photos at that time, I thought I would post them now.

I really LOVE these little lambs that I made. Each one has its own personality!

I made them from paper clay and then gave them matchstick legs and sawdust "wool"

Hoping to get my etsy shop up by Tuesday!!

Please look for it, okay?

XO

It Worked!

OMG! It worked again! Yippee! Yippee!

Tis makes me very happy!!! (..........can't tell you how happy....woo woo!)

It is Sunday and I have been working on LOTS of things for the Etsy shop. I figure the time has finally come to get myself going on this. Thanks to ALL the encouragement from ALL MY FRIENDS who have great faith in me. Can't help myself, folks. I could create and make 24/7........hmmmm.......I guess I already do! Now, I will have a place for everything - yay!

Above is a photo of a few of the little ladies I have been painting, though this is in beginning stages. They are now finished and ready to go. There will be more....a LOT more!

Hope your Sunday is nice...sunny and windy here....and chilly! Still, spring is coming. Xo

This is actually the experiment, so patience will be important! I will try to add a photo now.....

Don't quite know how to get this to the blog, but I will persevere!
