HOT DOG ART JOURNAL

Gratification.

That's where I AM. 

Gratified that is.

I have tons of pictures 

and minimal time

so the words are few today. Yay!

I'm including pictures in this post of my newly completed Hot Dog! art journal.

 
Jennibellie totally inspired me.

These are so much fun to make.

And I love using up stuff that I've been saving forever.

Love, Peace and all things groovy to YOU!

Create Your Life,

annie!

 

DELIGHTED!

I AM delighted to say that I completed 2 journals last night!!! 

All but my signature. 

I'm just adding a peek today but there are LOTS more pictures to show you...soon!!! Yeeeee-Haaaawwww!

Came across this painting I'd done in 2k9 while searching for just the right papers to add to my jennibellie style art journals.

I don't know the artist that inspired the painting but I do know it's very similar to the original. If you recognize it...please let me know who. I think it was from a magazine. 

I've done a couple pages (shown above and below and in this post) in a round robin altered book which is moderated by Sandra Nestlerode and will bring it back to the States with me when we go IN LESS THAN TWO WEEKS NOW!!! wow!!!

Please let me know if you want the book mailed to you so you can add to it!

The last thing I want to show you today just tickles me pink. I went to El Palacio De La Modista to buy some sewing supplies and just have to show you the receipt. (Hilos is thread (the 10 are jumbo spools). Agujas are needles). The bottom line is $54,800 COP which translates (depending on the exchange rate) to roughly 30 bucks. Double WOW!!! I can't TOUCH that amount of thread and needles in the States for that price!!! Well...ok...I can touch it...but you know what  I mean. 

That's all for today!


Oh...except this picture of my little artist...

And to tell you that my sweet little record player is getting REALLY tired and playing my albums slooowww...so I'm adding music to MixPod (free) and listening the the totally inspiring Yanni!

PS (I want you to be sure to check out the other artists at Paint Party Friday! Awesome art there!)

GETTING THERE!

Grumpy and Sophia sitting in the window of the Modista where I buy my thread and needles.

Still working in every spare moment, loving the process and excited about what's coming together. 

These headbands were made for my daughter-in-law, Winge...

who never asks me for anything and tells me she doesn't need gifts, etc when it's time for her birthday. All my kids do that!!!

So when I asked what I could make for her to bring to Texas when we visit next month, and she said she'd love a headband...

I got out some scraps, found a pattern online and made these...

This is not my usual style of sewing so please don't enlarge the pictures unless you want to see how bad I am about sewing with a pattern...

but I promised Winge I'd post them so she could pick the ones she wants.

Sophia chose this one...even if it is too big for her! :)

I'm almost finished with a couple more Jennibellie style art journals 

Sophia has her own style of wearing her headband.

and hope to get the 'hangers' on my seven door knob quilts this week - 

as well as finish embroidering on three other small quilts. I only embroider when I'm sitting still which isn't often so it's a slow process.

Later alligator!

annie!
