Just finished this ..... it is a model for a class I hope to teach this summer. I love my vintage papers .
We took the boys on a walk today around a wooded path that followed a creek. The boys loved finding things and we saw so many little critters. I had this bright idea..... I had been saving my childhood book of " The wind in the willows" to read to them. Today is the perfect day to start. The boys were so excited , especially knowing that I would read from the book my mother read to me ( she has been gone for 2 yrs now ). So I went to find the book and to my
surprise could not. Where could it be? The boys and I looked
everywhere. Mind you , my house is small so there is not much that could be hidden or lost. I did
alot of " oh , I have been looking for this" and " Why have I been keeping this ?" . We found just about everything else but that lovely little book. I told the boys that I would go to the library in the morning , but somehow the excitement was lost. Perhaps it will return when I find my book. Funny after taking the house apart I am sure I will find it in the most obvious place. Do you ever wonder why that happens?
These are some new pieces that I will have at " The Muse" in Frederick. It is a departure from my usual work a bit. I really love the colors. I am working on some similar pieces and hope to have them in my etsy shop by next week.
I just sent these in to the magazine " Haute Handbags" . Wish me luck. I love doing these magazine challenges. They really make you think outside the box.
You just have to love a window with chickens. I have always had a romantic view of life on a farm ...... I still dream of living on one. Call me crazy..........
Sometimes I hear the news or read the paper and it just gets to be too much...... there is so much going on and it seems it never ends. I feel the realization of how small we all are. Today enough! I will not succumb to the negative energy. Sure , there are alot of bad things going on , and I can not make even a dent in these major tragedies. However it has occurred to me ...... for the large scale miracles to happen, there needs to be many small miracles along the way. I can and you can make this happen. Many feel that they must travel far and wide to help or seem like they are helping make the world better. I salute them for their efforts, someone must do it. For those ( like myself ) , look around at what you see. Make a change ..... create the domino effect right where you are. I have not done much to make change where I stand, but I have hope..... and the simple wish for hope can be enough until the courage pushes us to take the steps.
