Happy paint party Friday and day 18 of creative everyday month

I missed posting the last few days but I am still at it everyday. It took me a few days to finish this, and now that I have my Mac and a new printer, I am hoping to list some of my art as prints in my etsy shop. Hopefully this weekend.

I love bees, as you will know if you haunt my blog regularly. So I couldn't resist painting this quote once I saw it. The photo is not as clear as I would like but I wanted to post today and I am not in enough light to get a good image. 

I am still doing AEDM but I think I won't worry about posting over the weekend... Be back on Monday! Take care till then...

Textile pieces

My new mixed media quilted ornaments.

I need a better name for these things, but I can't seem to come up with anything.

But I am having fun making them! After i made the fabric mini books and lucky penny dolls that i posted last week, i wanted to do more sewing projects so these came about. They are little art quilts i guess. I messily machine quilted a few scraps then used those to paint and embroider onto. More in the works for brooches and pendants and more ornaments.....

They should be in my etsy shop soon, i hope. I have a new mac now so i should be able to get photos fixed and posted easier.....

Happy PPF!

5 things that make me happy.......

1. starting a new hobby that the whole family wants to get involved in....
creating walking sticks....
can't wait to get started now that we have the proper tools...
carving, woodburning, painting and staining...

2. an abundant harvest from my small little raised garden....
