PROGRESS

 I know...it's confusing! I'm talking about paper...but showing you fabric...down there...at the bottom of the post.

 I've shown you these first few pages previously but wasn't - and still might not be happy with them - BUT I got out my foil a few days ago and ironed it on EVERYthing in the vicinity to see what would happen. I love the results!

I find myself playing with paper, glue, paint and markers these days.

Sophia is out of 'school' until February which means annie! grandma has been taking the opportunity to have her overnight more often. :)

This one I'm done with...no matter what.

She loves the play room as much as I do...but for much shorter stretches of time.

Another oldie revamped with foil. Still don't like this one.

So, I find myself spending more time in my rocking chair downstairs; often with a video or cartoons in the background...while I watch her play. 

The background was laid months ago...so while sorting and bagging trash I mean paper art supplies...I added the elements you see here.

I love to be doing something when I'm sitting and these days it's organizing...by this point simply bagging...my paper stash.

Too bad it was 2am when i did the lettering on this one.

And while I'm at it...using UP some of that stuff!

Another one that got finished while sitting on me duff.

I've been collecting what most people call trash for years...but for some reason...using it eludes me.

The circles are back in town!

I started out 2k10 with The Sketchbook Challenge and did more than ever in my life with art journaling...

When I pulled these out last week, I realized that they needed a zig-zag around the edge so I got busy.

but as I've said before...

I did the stitching on these with my Juki which doesn't have zig-zag capabilities.

it's not my most comfy medium to work with 

But my old Bernina loves it when i switch back to it.

but it DID stretch me.

I only have about 200 more to put an edge on.

And I like stretching.

I also neatened up the edge of this art journal. I know, I know, it doesn't look like it...but it's as good as it gets!

Create Your Life,


annie!
