Art Journal today

Felt like doing a sunshine page since its so nice and warm and sunny here...When it gets cold I can open up my journal and go to this page and know that the sun is going to be here again soon. I was playin around in PSP with the second one and amped it up a bit and I liked it so I kept it.

Thanks for stopping by

My workspace...TODAY

HA HA...No it does not always look like this but I HAD to do something...I Have been sewing journals and piecing fabric for the covers and it was a mess...
So here is what my workspace looks like for now.
I will be so happy when we can move out of this apartment and into a house and I can have a studio to get lost in again.

Art Today...

I made this with my daughter in mind...hubby and I went to this place yesterday and the only thing I was able to find was some lace so I decided to put it to use.

They did also have a bunch of old sewing patterns for 1.00 a piece so I may go back and grab a few for a project for Xmas.

Anyhow I'm thinking I will give this to Melissa, either that or sometime when I get my studio back I will hang it up with all my other art.

Happy Birthday

To Meee...

Here I am Rawkin my Birthday TiaRa....

Hubby has to work tonight so my daughter surprised me and is taking me out to dinner. My awesome son called me to wish me happy birthday, totally made my day...
Jonathan got me a beautiful card and tomorrow night he is takin me out for steak and LOBSTER ooo000oooo yeahhhhhhhh....

It's been a relaxing and beautiful day.

17 years ago today, on my 30th birthday, I was diagnosed with stage 4 kidney cancer. I had no idea if I was even going to make it to my surgery date. My kids were 3 yrs old and 6 months old.
17 years later here I am and I feel blessed, I feel more loved than I ever have before, and I feel so very lucky to have survived and not missed a thing...I have an awesome husband, the two best kids in the world, and great friends.
Life is Good

Oh man am I ever having time management problems...and I have a lot of time...
I have a pot of coffee going and I am going to stay up tonight and work work work on getting my remains of the day journals done and ready to sell...
There is no excuse for them not being done...hubby has even started asking when? So I know I'm slackin cuz he NEVER questions...

I have 2 to finish tonight, then write up the descriptions and get them in the mail to my awesome friend Lisa who is going to put them up for sale for me in her Etsy shop....

This is what I have been working on getting done today...I sure wish fabric glue dried faster...this cover is all about dimension and I love how it's coming out.

It's all on me and I am ready to get done with these and move on to the other many ideas that I have to work on.

Awesome Week

Here in NW Arkansas we had Bikes Blues and BBQ this past Wed-Sat. Wow what a great time...I've never seen so many bikes and people in one place. It was truly AWESOME...We went 3 out of the 4 nights and had a blast.

Good times...great memories.

Finishing Up

My goal this week is to get all of my "in progress" projects DONE...
I am ready to move on to my next venture. I have so many idea's going around in my mind. I see them. I have the supplies. I just keep telling myself I have to finish the other things I have started. It will only take minutes to finish them, just waiting for a final supply to literally "tie things up" lol.

So that is my goal. Then hopefully I can get them sold and make a little money.

My new project is a series of dimensional canvas'. They are going to be bright and funky and full of color. I cannot wait.

I had a job interview today and I think it went great. I am hoping with all hope that I hear something back in the next week. It would truly be a blessing.

The sky is the limit and I am ready to fly...

Saturday

What a wonderful day...

Hubby and I went downtown to the farmer's market this morning and got some things...they don't have any fruit though, and so disappointed that there were no eggs either...it was still great to walk around and look at all the produce.

Later we went to the gym...our first day at the gym...trying to get healthy and back in shape...

I also went to Hobby Lobby...found some awesome fabric...I want to make something really special for a great friend of mine. I will go back soon for the fabric...

I was able to get another ROD cover put together. Still need to sew through it and make a tie closure.

I think I am just going to have to order some binding thread online because I can't find anywhere here that carries it.

Dinner calls...Hope the weekend is being good to everyone.

Remains of the Day

Ive been working on pages for some remains of the day journals and I was finally able to get some fabric and get one of the covers made.
I have 3 more to go and also want to add some more extra's to the pages. Then I just have to get some binding thread and get them bound. Then they will be for sale.

This is the cover I made tonight. I still have to do the shabby tie for it.

This is the inside...

 This is the outside...

Crazy right? I love how it came out...can't wait to get the other's done and get them all together.
Thanks for taking a look
