Art Every Day Month - Day 30

To tired to write, but just wanted to say how much I've enjoyed being part of Art Every Day Month. 

Many thanks to Leah Piken Koladis for hosting this yearly adventure and to all who participated this year. I've loved looking at your work and receiving your supportive comments.

Here are some photos from my day - I'll write more tomorrow!

My table at tonight's craft fair!

Have a wonderful weekend!

AEDM Day 29 - Fa-La-La

The month of November has really sped by and here we are at the second-to-last day of Art Every Day Month! I have participated sporadically, but enjoyed so much being part of this busy group of artists!

Lately I've been wearing my crafting hat, preparing for a craft fair which takes place tomorrow night!

My little trees are all decorated - at least the ones I could finish on time!

And I'm still working on some ornaments, which I'll reveal tomorrow!

I couldn't resist adding this picture of Rosie which I took last night!

Tomorrow morning I'll take pictures of all the pieces I have for the fair.

Meanwhile...

Here's wishing you a lovely evening!!

AEDM Day 26 - Festive Trees

After taking some time off for the Thanksgiving holiday and a lovely visit with daughter Kate, I'm back to preparing for a craft fair called "Mistletoe Marketplace" which will take place Friday night.

My plan is to work on something different each day, and today I am decorating little Christmas trees!
As I post this, I've been spending time working on my largest cardboard cone, covering it with eyelet  ruffles I've had in my stash for about 25 years. Rosie was fascinated by the whole process!

Then Angus came up on the table to investigate!

When I finished gluing the lace, I could see Rosie's ears behind the table...

and when I went to look, she was sitting in a box of fabric -

a common occurrence in this house!

I'll be working on the rest of the trees tonight, then on to something different tomorrow.

I know that my sister would love the lace tree, so it will be hers if it doesn't sell at the fair.

My only wish for the fair is that I make back the money I've spent for the table. I know that it's going to be a fun evening, with several friends sharing a table.

Well, time to get back to work!

Thanks for visiting.

Hope you've had a great day!

Happy Thanksgiving!!

I wish everyone who reads this today a very

 Happy Thanksgiving!!

This is a card sent to us and made by my very talented sister-in-law Tracy.

I know that I will take a moment today to think of all the many blessings

I have in my life and give thanks for them.

Hope you will too.

Have a wonderful day!!

AEDM Days 19 and 20 - Looking Back

I haven't been all that creative lately, so I'm taking a step back to look at some pictures 

I've made in the past few years.

For a while I was doing pictures in cut paper with quotes to go along with them.

Of course, there had to be cats!

I had fun with these!

Then there were landscapes. This one, done in fabric appliqué, was sold 

about 20 years ago. Hard to believe!

Here's one in sheer fabrics and stitching...

another oldie fabric appliqué that was sold...

an ATC in fused fabric...

and yet another of the same!

And a few florals - this one in fused fabric...

sheer layers in the background...

and fabric applique.

And finally, another piece in cut paper.

Hope you've enjoyed this trip down memory lane!

Have a wonderful week!

AEDM Day 17 - Little House

Today I took the pattern I was working on yesterday...

and made a prototype house ornament with scrapbooking papers.

Although I'm happy with how it came out, it was much too labor intensive to make to sell!

But I may make a few personalized houses for gifts.

 My husband and I went to see the movie "Lincoln" today.

I thought it was fantastic. Beautifully done, wonderfully acted, and full of history, as you would expect. Daniel Day Lewis and Sally Field are amazing. We really enjoyed it!

Hope you're having a great weekend!

AEDM Day 15 - Futzing Around

I looked this up in the Urban Dictionary and it really is a phrase! So, I've been futzing around, doing a bit of this and a bit of that, but finishing nothing. Frustrating! I had hoped to have some little trees all decorated and some ornaments completed by today, but no go.

Howerver,  I did clean up an ornament pattern I had made several years ago,

and worked on sewing some cones for Christmas trees.

 Rosie and Angus chilled out on the porch,

And I'm hoping to have something finished to post tomorrow!

Hope you are having a great day!
