{Do All Things With Love – 8 x 8 Canvas}

Hello and Happy June!

I wanted to share this little 8 x 8 canvas I recently completed. The base has been painted a soft sea foam green over various pattern papers. I added bits of vintage laces and mother of pearl buttons as well. The image was mounted on to a piece of corrugated cardboard. I have also incorporated a small escutcheon plate to the piece as well.

I’ve been keeping busy with a new little friend. His name is Tucker, and I adopted him in April after I lost my 14 year old cat Sophie. Tucker was about 5 months old when he came home. He is in that piss and vinegar stage right now, but at night he is so sweet and sleeps right next to me. I enjoy him very much and love his markings!

Happy May My Friends!

I did not mean to be gone away so long. I am trying to get back on track again with my blog, creating, and many other things.

Yesterday, Miss Adelaide received a new look with an antique top and some altered jewelry I made a few years back. It appears she put on a little weight during the winter months! :-) I honestly marvel at the how tiny women were back in the day. I love the delicate embroidery work on this garment she is wearing.

I’m thankful that spring finally came…that sunshine sure is needed!

{Simply Neutrals Tuesday #39 – Little Altered Dress}

This little white dress was a recent project of mine over the course of several weeks. I like to take busy work with me to the doctor’s office, and this was a perfect one to create and stitch while waiting.
