LOVE BIRDS

I'd like to show you my little birdies that I gave away for Valentine's Day last month. A couple of them flew the coop before I got pix but they're happy so that's really all that matters.

It's a good time to sit at the computer and slow down a bit.

I feel a little like I'm in a race today.

My list:

I was helping with Artists in Blogland before my computer went down and haven't had time yet to pick up my 'duties' for that website again. Hopefully, my list will be smaller when we get back from the States so I can quit feeling guilty about not helping.

We're headed to Florida where I'll teach a workshop on two different days! My version of Jennibellie's art journals. I'm trying to make as many of them as possible before I go.

My friend, Marlene Glickman, has invited me to teach the workshop at her studio in Clearwater and suggested I bring some items to sell while there...so I'm also working on 'stuff' to sell. 

Yep-there's one in every crowd.

Marlene and I have collaborated on several pieces and I'd love to have a bit done on what I'm working on with her before heading North.

I have more words than birds so thought I'd show you some of the Carnaval de Barranquilla decorations.

We have to renew our Visas - and the paperwork for that is totally - well never mind...you don't want to know. 

I booked our flights this week, put a deposit on a condo ON THE BEACH and have looked at the cost of rental cars but I'm going to wait on that one in hopes the prices will go down.

My friend, Ann, from Studio Hyde sent me two watercolors that are absolutely the most wonderful works of art!!! I'm so thrilled and excited with them and want them in frames asap...so I've been looking and thinking about that and can't wait to show you!

Sophia is here 5 days a week...which is why I'm in Colombia...so I'm not complaining...really...but I'm not able to get more than 5-10 minutes of anything done while she's here because she wants my attention and honestly, I want to give it to her. It blows me away that she'll be 5 this year and I'm happy making the most of every day with her. 

One of my Colombian Quilt Group gave me this calendar page and asked that I make a small wall hanging for her. Gulp. I'll show you the results in another post.

I have GREAT news!!! Sophia is going to be a big sister in August!!! So I'm gonna be a triple grannie! We're all happy and excited and annie! grandma is a little bit concerned about getting into better shape so I can do a better job of annie! grannie-ing.

I'm also totally thrilled about the way my little door knob quilts are coming out and finished them today...all but the hanging apparatus part...which is in the works. 

I know you've seen this one before...but he's just SO cute! and it reminds me of the picture of Sophia above!!!

More later,

more painted fabric

Create Your Life!

these are now quilts that look totally different
