Have a happy weekend!

A laugh and a prayer

My idea of being Sonny and Cher didn't go over very well...so we went to a Halloween party last weekend as bugs! Yes...a couple of flies in their 50's! 
Go figure...

With all the awful storm news I thought you all might like a laugh.
On the serious side...my prayers go out to all those affected by this storm. I have many customers that are right in the middle of the storm activity, and I'm really hoping they are ok!
Mother Nature is so very powerful.... not to be taken  for granted.

Glory, glory hallelujah !

With all  the election stuff going on I got inspired to create some Americana pieces for my Etsy shop...this is the kind of designs I did many years ago.
It was fun...

The best birthday card ever!

I celebrated my birthday on the 24th...and extended it a bit! 

One of my favorite treasures was this card my sister-in -law made me...I love this so much!
I remember the cake like it was yesterday !  Doll cakes were new at the time, so this was really special!  This particular birthday was one of my favorites...I'll treasure this card forever...

Another one !

Still in "Mermaid mode"...maybe it's because Summer is almost over ?  These little stitched bits are fun to work on in between bigger projects . My old sketchbook is great inspiration!

Love the little seahorse...

I was looking through my sketchbook last week and found some of my old mermaid designs.
These were  meant to be dolls, but since I've been a "stitchey" kind of mood a small wall hanging seemed like a fun idea ! I drew her freehand then colored, stitched and beaded. 
These kind of projects are so fun...there is never a real plan. I just let my mind wander.

Love her tail... the beads are supposed to be little bubbles.
