NETTLE HAILFROST- My own fairy name

http://

My fairy name is Nettle Hailfrost
She protects and comforts the lonely.
She lives in brambles and blackberry bushes.
She can only be seen during the first snow of winter.
She wears purple and green like berries and leaves and has cheery turquoise wings like a butterfly.

Where does the time go!

I'm angry at myself.  The days passed so quickly in April and now it is May without much to show for it.  I painted the Living Room "Seattle Grey", changed my draperies to grommett grey drapes, changed the furniture around and added shells in my lantern on the mantle.  My Sewing Studio has been moved to upstairs in the back bedroom because I purchased a brown sofa bed for my mother if she needs it due to her worsening dementia in my old studio/diningroom.  Sounds like I accomplished alot, but mostly have been at the computer playing facebook games-hours on end and it's getting worst.  The weather has been so dreary, cloudy and rainy- I JUST FEEL GREY!  
But it is May now-April Showers bring May Flowers-golden daffadils, ruby red tulips, white star magnolas and the beautiful rose pink magnolas.  Yes, it brightens the little corners they live in, but without the yellow light they just don't shine.  DULLNESS.  Bring on the Sunshine, Bees and Butterflies! Oh it would help if the gas prices came down, presently at $4.19. 

To all my many Friends

A whole day for Art- I snow dyed fabric and  made lollipops for the Smashees Workshop I am taking from Shelagh Folgate from England.  Also I have been painting my Living Room a Light/Medium Grey called Seattle Gray from Benjamin Moore. .  Everyone thinks I am nuts because it is so grey here in Northwest Ohio.  But I love it, It is clean and Contempary looking. 

Lollipops made from Paper Water Soluable sewing and torn paper inked with Tee Juice. I love this look.

Wool Roving on Fabric Water Soluable to be sewn and made into lollipops too. 

I started a new 2011 Art Blog.  This will showcase my art work and Future.  I will continue making my dreams come true a personal blog, but my professional artistic blog will be under the enclosed link.  Please become a friend and always leave comments because I really appreciate them.  
I have had a busy holiday with lots of company, parties, and fabulous grandbabies.  Family is so cool.

I love December!

Cold, Clouds, Sun and snow flurries on the ground, gotta love flannel PJ's, wood fire, Early Grey Tea, Christmas shopping till ya drop and sewing, sewing, sewing surprises..  It is December and not much snow yet in this part of the world, but I have dug out my cross country ski's out and plan on using them this year.  I purchased a Baby Lock Embellisher and have been using it.  It is so delightful, the textures, the fibers and the ease of discovery and creative challenges.  My mind goes overtime with the "what if I did this, what if I did that"?  I am also researching what to teach at the "So Many Stitches" sewing shop where I purchased my machine.  http://www.sewmanystitches.com/   My First Thoughts for classes are something that is useable, so I made a felted scarf, a fibert art silk scarf, and small felted box and a winter scene artwork.  After playing and designing, I feel people need to unlease there hidden talents, let the creative juices flow, push the way you normally do things, dream up the "what if's"  If this could be learned, then your life becomes a new adventure, with exploring, experiementing and discovering.  Stay tuned for new pictures, new ideas and maybe even a free on line class in my blog to mirror the class at Sew Many Stitches. 

Green 'Fried Tomatoes

No, I never like them before,  Poor man's food,  but tonight I fried them with Penko Flacks and Potatoe Cakes, and fried beef leftovers.   I loved all the olive oil fried foods. Hit the spot.   Sorry I didn't take a picture.  My DH ate them before I could.  My DD  (Dear Daughter) took my 2nd Bernina Sewing Machine I purchased in my life time.  It is a Embellisher and I told her it was hers, but it would stay at my house, and she could use it here.  BUT she is making a monkey halloween costume for my favorite grandson, AIDAN, which is in the blue jammies above.  with his cousins, Emma, and Adeline.  SO I let her take the machine home.  I am glad she wants to use it.  I miss it ,but it is hers.  I am so glad she got a Bernina before I did, way before I did.  Love you Angie.  YOur Mommy loves you.  Always know that.   ME
