WOW! This is My 100th Post! And the 1st of WOYWW

 front cover
The number 99 caught my eye on my way to write this - and I checked -  it's my 100th post!!!

page 1 (flip side of cover)
Anywho...I came to post my 1st WOYWW (What's On Your Workdesk? Wednesday) thing. I joined this last week and thought it might be fun. We shall see.

page 2
 Cool Whip, huh?!?

page 3 (flip side of 2)
I think I should am going to have a give-away to celebrate.

here's page 4
So, what would you like?

flip of 4 = page 5
Just kidding. I get to choose.


page 6
The problem with my give-away, is that the mail system here is very expensive, extensive and exceptionally unreliable..

pg 7
 so... 


pg 8 dedicated to Tami and you'll know why in a minute


you won't receive it until November probably...

number 9
at which time I can mail it from Virginia or Florida when I visit the States...

page 10 - we're gettin there!
or talk someone who is traveling there sooner into mailing it for me. 


GIVE_AWAY...one of the three angel brooches in the middle is what I'd like to give you if you win the "draw" for the give-away...the top outside two are taken...just leave a comment on this post and I'll have Sophia pick a number between...whatever it is and whatever it is. I forgot to mention last nite...it was late...that I'll do the drawing on my daughter-in-law's, Winge's, birthday...Sunday,August 28th). Hope it's YOU that wins!
But back to WOYWW. (I think of it as wow-wee)!

page 11

I hosted my Colombian Quilt Group here today

page 12
so I didn't spend much time in the play room - except to make a bit of a mess. 

Back Cover - YAY

I usually work in a very neat environment.  

At Sophia's request...we're painting her jewelry box pink. :) We sanded, gessoed, painted X 3 w varnish next X3 (See previous post)
Chaos confuses me.


In getting ready for my friends to come today, I kept putting stuff on Sophia's & my work table just to have it out of sight.

But as you can see from the above/below pictures...

more stuff that was scattered around the house as I was picking up AFTER our meeting - including my book pages
I haven't been idle.



Accomplishing a lot on My Happy For No Reason Book this week has really made me...well...happy. 

I've loved every minute of working on it.
This is where I'm working right now. I've got my picture program open on the right so I can delete pictures. I had 29,000 + and I'm now down to 21,147. All on disc...so just keeping favorites on the HD. What a trip down memory lane. On the left I have my blogger dashboard open and 2 of my favorite blog sites are there but since you can't see them...here they are...Ann's Art @ Studiohyde and pink house studio.

And BTW........My work......Ta DAAA - along with many fabulous artists - will be featured in Seth Apter's blog, The Altered Page in The Pulse, this coming Sunday, August 21st. Hope you'll click on the button up there on the left and check out his website

Actually, I just clicked on that button and it didn't do anything. 


Got to go to my technical guru, Tami. She'll have it fixed in no time.


Probably before I hit the Publish Post button. 

Because she loves me.

Yep - it's done.


She is one of my wonderful nieces who has a verrry interesting blog here.





this is the wall of treasures I restricted myself to in making the above book


You go have a happy life now!


I forgot to mention last nite...it was late...that I'll do the drawing on my daughter-in-law's, Winge's, birthday...Sunday,August 28th). Hope it's YOU that wins!

  2. Congratulations on your 100th post! And what a post it is! I love looking at the happy book, it's just gorgeous (wish you were giving that away, haha). Also nice to see where you work, I love looking at studio spaces where actual work is being done (instead of just looking pretty). Hope you will keep blogposting for a long time and keep making such wonderful things!

  3. Congratulations Annie. 100th post (bet you couldn't believe it!) and you found time to mention my blog...wahoo. Love what you do with your fabric art, and I expect Sophia absolutely loves coming to your house. Thanks, btw, for your comment on my 'missing link' (ha, sounds like me!) - I'd actually deleted it 'cause it was awful and have redone it today...I'm happy now:) Oh, and I love the angel bottom left. Have a great day.....ann.

  16. Congratulations on your 100th post! Your fabric books are simply amazing. Now I remember why I can't let go of my fabric stash just yet. One day I'm going to attempt one of my own. :)

  17. Thank you Marcia. Messy does sound better than sloppy. :) Isn't Seth great?!? Totally generous and amazing in that he does all that work for others. I'm off to see if you have a blog...

  18. Thank you PAT!!! I was a Realtor a decade ago and thought I'd never do art again...so most of my art supplies were given away. I honestly don't believe that will ever happen again! Go in and look at and touch your stash often and it will speak to you. I can't wait to see what you do with it!!

  19. Your style is joyous. I love it! Perhaps "sloppy" style to quilters, but I feel a comfortable 'order' as well.

    ReplyDelete
  20. Thank you Shayla!!! I really do think of my art as ordered. Got to go look for your blog.
