Where did it go?

I don't know what happend to spring today or where it went, but dang-it, I want it back!! I guess until then I'll be dreaming of these lovely roses from my yard last year.

I can't wait to get out there and dig in the dirt and get dirty and be oh so tired and sore the next day from all the hard work.

So now if Mother Nature would quit playing cruel jokes on us, it would be nice!

GoofyGoober yes I am!!

Well I am such a goober! I posted and then realized it was closed!! Such a goof! Well, enjoy anyways! Have a great day everyone!

Fly for freedom

Finally I have this finished! I was busy with the quilts and then I had to catch up on cleaning my house! It's amazing how I am the only one who can do things around here! But anyways here is my newest collage for Green Paper. It kinda through me for a loop with the little bank card on there, so I cut it up and it's her nest. A little of the border is her belt. I'm so glad I carved out some time here and there to finish this. I can't stand to leave things undone and they just stare at me!! Lisa, Lisa, I can hear them calling my name as I go to do laundry. They won't shut-up so I have to finish them. Laundry can wait.

Enjoy the journey!

Just a little artwork I managed to fit in yesterday. I had an idea and couldn't rest till I had it out of my little head! Do you ever get that way too? Enjoy the journey...you don't want to miss anything!

Finished pictures!

Ok pictures of the finally finished circus quilt. I wished I could've gotten a better shot of it but, I was the only one home so there wasn't anyone to help hold it up. I don't know why, but my quilting doesn't seem to thrill anyone around here! :) That's ok though. Sometimes everyone can be so distracting when I'm sewing. I think I need to change my name from MOM to gosh I don't know Lisa maybe! Mom's not here leave a message at the beep!

And of course that darn cat is on it again! Every time I spread it out for a picture there she goes thinking it's for her. Well I'm off to start on the other one. Hope everyone has a great day!

Circus quilt done!!

WEll that one is finished. I'll take a pic tomorrow when , hopefully we will have some sun!! So instead I thought I would show you these! I don't think I have already shown you. Well this one a teacher bought last year from me. It was made with vintage fabrics from the antique store. Love it!! It was a baby size quilt. She was hoping that if she had the quilts her daughter would make some babies to go with them!! Well she finally did get her grandaughter! So happy for her!

This one was for a cousin I think. Yes it was. Her room was pink and green! So cute! I hope everyone is having a good week so far. My hubby is gone on another fishing trip to Alabama, my parents went to Mardi Gras and I'm stuck here at home in Illinios.....BULLCRAP I Say!!!!

Just a quick post today. I've been busy working on the circus quilt for my aunt today trying to finish it up. After awhile I just get so sick of looking at them! This quilt here was quite a find! My mother had helped a friend out by cleaning up a house after the owner passed away and these quilts were left there and she didn't want to mess with them so my mother took them. They are from the 30's and 40's I think.

This one actually has a quilt inside a quilt. I'm eventually going to take it apart and see the rest of this pink and green one on the inside. I also got about 4 quilt tops not finished as well. They have been put up for so long they stink!!! I'll quilt them first then wash them, I don't want them to fall apart.

Finally I worked on a painting for my living room. I really wanted a bigger canvas, but since I didn't have time to run to Hobby Lobby, this is what I had. I layed down old book pages first then just layered paint. After the paint was dry I cut the works from my Cricut cutter from vinyl. The heart is painted from another piece of paper then applied on to the canvas. I added some netting and a key hole. Did some shading with oil pastels, love them!!

Then I covered the whole thing in a coat of beeswax. I love it how it turned out. Now I just need to get a bigger canvas for my other idea brewing in my head!!
