{Winter Angel Fabric Bag}

December 6, 2017

Hello! Happy December!

Today, I had a creative day trying to finish up a few things and de-clutter my studio area. It has been a mess for months and I really have not had much time to spend in it with the additional venture I have going on.
I rented a booth space at a local antique mall and moved my items in over this past weekend. So far, things are going well. :-)

This little angel bag I made using an old bedspread, fabric angel photo, and various laces and trims. Inside the bag, I added white shred paper, a vintage cookie cutter, small silver Christmas ornaments and a big beautiful jeweled snowflake. It felt good to finally make something since my Etsy shop has been neglected for months due to moving and this new venture.

{Rosebud Corrugated Tags – Somerset Life}

September 21, 2017

I received some happy mail yesterday. Last March, I sent in my Rosebud corrugated tags and was thrilled to see them in the publication flesh! They are in the Somerset Life October/November/December Issue and featured on pages 92 – 94. It is always a thrill to see your work in print and I am honored.

{Garden Gate Fabric Collage}

August 1, 2017

Happy August Everyone!
I wanted to share a “sneak peek” of my project “Garden Gate Fabric Collage” with Mixed Up Magazine. This is a digital magazine that you can purchase and read online. It has so many different types of projects in each issue.

This is the link to pocketmags where the magazine can be purchased: https://pocketmags.com/mixed-up-mag and this is the website for more information: https://www.mixedupmag.com/


I hope you have been enjoying your summer. The past two months, I have been moving again…twice in 10 months! Phew! I have been in my new place for a week now (July 24th which was also my 3 year stroke anniversary), and still unpacking. How do we accumulate so much stuff? I miss creating very much, and hope to be back in the swing again soon!

Stay cool!

{Rose Garden Vintage Fabric Journal}

May 3, 2017

I wanted to share this Rose Garden Fabric Journal that I recently completed. For this project, I decided to mix both faces and rose images throughout. I print my images on June Tailor Fabric Sheets (inserted into my printer.) I used a mixture of vintage pink Swiss dot fabric and muslin as the page backgrounds. I incorporated antique/vintage collars, laces,and fabric remnants throughout the journal as well. Lots of hand sewing adding little rosebud millinary flowers and mother of pearl buttons.

I like the mixture of the pink fabrics and the muslin backgrounds. Something a little different then my usual journals. The sun finally came out this morning after days of rain and grey, so I grabbed my camera and tried to get the best light possible.
