Hope you all enjoy the pics sorry they are so bad

theres another post below all the images.

Fabric Book

In my exuberance to post pics today of my new fabric book squares,i underestimated my ability to use the new camera hubby bought me.I only got the new camera because he sent my old one off to his mother.I loved that camera it never gave me problems once i learned to use it.So this explains why my pics are so horrible it wasnt the camera just me.I am not a photographer and grr but i hate this camera.

Christmas Shopping Bah Hum Bug

Ok so i admit im the worlds worse shopper.To say i hate shopping for others is an understatement. Yes that even includes my children who each year without fail bring me their lists,their little eyes shining brightly with the hopes that santa will deliver.Santa Claus i say ? i would like to kick his jolly butt right into next week.Whatever adult came up with the idea of telling children that there is a Santa Claus needs his bum kicked as well.Here are my children christmas morning saying what did you get us mommy while my oldest daughters snicker behind their stocking.

All of this after spending two horrible weeks of, hunting things down on ebay and visiting every toys r us within a 50 mile radius.Do i like Christmas ? Of course i do im just waiting for Santa to get off his butt and drop those toys under the tree.Oh well maybe next year he will get the list i sent him.

Swap Bot Days

Hello Everyone,
I havent been on here for awhile and i really have had so much to say.Yes im still a little upset with blogger for losing my blog but im sure i will be over it soon.I have been super busy with orders for Christmas as well.On with the reason im posting, i found a place called swap bot i love this place and really enjoy, doing these swaps.So much in fact that im ,hosting two a match box drawer swap and a decorated cigar box swap.The ebroidery ribbon swap didnot go well only i and another lady Nina signed up.I will be sending her some lovely ribbons and a coffee and chocolates.

I just enjoy sending to people and getting suprises in the mail.This is a fantastic place and if you enjoy doing art or just swapping even non artsy items i encourage you to follow the link above.The only problem im currently having is, finding a suitable pic to show the ladies on swap bot.Oh well i will figure something out.

Updates

For Updates i have finally signed up for Etsy
be sure to visit my store often to see what is available.I will be offering lots of different mini art quilts as well as fabric books and paper mache busts,altered vintage magical cabinet and unique items.I will have an online order form soon from which you can use to order a fabric book created from pics that you have and designed around a story that you may have been told as a child.You will also be able to choose your own colors of fabrics and in some cases embellishments and binding style.Hope to have that ready soon.

If you would like to link to my blog and have your blog listed as well let me know.

Happy Turkey Day

Thanksgiving was tiring and fun all at the same time.I had fewer to cook for this year though which was fine for me but sad for my grammy.Most generally i end up cooking for 20 to 30 people twice a year every year because my grammy is up there in years and can no longer do it.This year they(uncle and aunt)decided to have their own dinner at their own house with their own children how cool is that.

On another note despite Mikale (no it isnt pronounced michael)who has decided to cry rather then sleep(hes only 8 weeks) i did manage to get two charmed books and 1 fabric book started.Yeah i was hoping for more time in my studio.He has been getting used to the sewing machine although i do alot more hand stitching and embroidery then i do sewing.I enjoy making memories for others from the pictures they send me and the stories they tell.

Have a wonderful thanksgiving

Where has the time went

It does not seem like its been a month since i last posted.I guess the time flies when your busy.Ive been working on my website and trying to get things added to my blog to make it more interesting.Ive joined swap bot a great place to swap items like art,books,movies and make things for others with the idea you will also get something in return.Ive also decided to host my own swap for Ribbon,Coffee and Chocolate aholics like myself.If your an Artist or love to trade items then definitely check the site out.

If your still waiting for pics then i am sorry i have not had time to add them yet.I have 5 commissions for Charmed Books and 3 fabric books to do.Will hopefully find time to add to my site and this blog soon.That is all for now will hopefully find more time more often to post.In the mean time i will be adding some links for places i love to shop.

First Posting

You will have to forgive me this is my first post and im so use to doing journaling that im finding this a bit odd.Im wondering really if anyone will even bother to read this.Im working on getting a web site going as well on free webs im really looking forward to it i enjoy having a site to show pics of some of my work.I will of course be posting some of it here as well.I guess thats all for now will see what the next week will bring.
Untill then
