LaConner

This is Dan.
I haven't met Dan but he made an amusing video of the charming little town we live in, and  I wanted to share.

Bracelets

I'm taking a break for the rest of the day (after this post)!  I have been sitting at my desk stitching away for the past 4 days, I'm in dire need of a shower and my eyes are getting blurry.

This is some of what I have been working on:



So far only a luke warm reception in my shop for these, but I am having fun and plan to make more once my eyes don't feel squeezed anymore.

It's time to go make some popcorn and watch a movie with the family.  
Hope you are enjoying your Sunday.

Stitching Away

I'm still working on re-stocking my Etsy shop.  My family has been keeping me pretty busy but I've managed to eek out a few things.

Like this:

and this:

and this one:

One more:

I plan on re-making some of the one's that have sold, although they never come out quite the same.  I also have some ideas for new things, so I had better get back to work.

Hope you are having a fabulous weekend!

Encaustic Goodness!

Way back in December I received this gorgeous little encaustic ornament that I won in a giveaway from Susan Najarian.

 
I was thrilled to get it as I have been coveting her work for a while.  It arrived with a sweet little red bow at the top but I replaced it with a little black velvet and white cotton, that way it's not so much a Christmas ornament but something I can hang over my desk and enjoy year round.  You can find Susan's work on Etsy, where she sells beautiful encaustic painting, and mixed media art.
