Feeling productive, and enjoying it.


Nature's Evening available on Etsy
A friend recently encouraged me to share in a Mother's Day stall and I was so thrilled to sell some of my journals and jewellery. My goal is to be more proactive in this area as I really do need to get rid of my mortgage if am to have the freedom I want to move in other areas. Pray for wisdom as I make decisions for the future, please. (Update: Sorry to have confused some people, the 'other areas' are not art ones, but more voluntary work with some kids who need help - I love my art but not planning on going full-time w ith it).
A Thankful Heart available on Etsy

Another scarf, this one a Pink Girl's Dream for a good friend's birthday. Lace, chiffon and flannel are threaded though a soft wool acrylic blend. I am not a 'pink girl', but the end result is solf and romantic so hopefully it will be well received.
Sweet boy sitting with me as I photograph the bracelets, not so sweet to smell at the moment so I predict a bath coming up very soon.

Oh - I will pray that you can make wise decisions - sometimes it is hard, isn't it?

BTW I got your package!! I love my little doll and I foresee making something with the covered wagons for C she loves them.

The itty bitty rusty clothes pins are begging for something unique and I love the cross...

There are so many really neat goodies - thank you so much!!

BTW the nice thing about the scarf is it isn't pinky-pink and it has some warm brown tones that bring it down to earth.

Great Bracelets!
I am also trying to make decisions about my future and my artwork. Wish I could get rid of my mortgage, but I'd have to be selling to movie stars to make that kind of money. Wouldn't it be great if artists and gardeners were actually paid what they were worth?

The bracelets are simply gorgeous Julie, especially the first one (that's my opinion :-) Really love the colours you used in it.
Beautiful new scarf too, it surely takes zillion hours to make such a beauty.
Thanks for sharing a photo of little sweet boy, he is really a lovely baby.
