Snowman ornament swap

Here's the snowman I've been working on for the swap.
He's still not quite finished, but don't you think he's cute? You start out with three styrofoam balls...
Largest on bottom, then smaller as you go up! I used wooden skewers between each to help hold them
together and added some glue as well. When all that was dry I covered them all with molding paste, you
could use the snow texture, then sprinkled with glitter all over. His nose is a small piece of the skewer,
painted orange, glued into face. There are three buttons down his front, also glued on. His neck piece is
some silver garland. His hat is cone from paper. The eyes and mouth are applied with a piece of stiff wire
dipped in black acrylic paint. Still need arms and I need to glue on his hat and add the hanger. MORE to come!

God's Nature Miracles!

Veterans Day Wednesday, November 11, 2009

GOD BLESS AMERICA!
Let us remember all veterans, those who gave their life for their country so that we may all live free.
Remember those who served for many years and retired, who kept us safe. Pray for all the men and
women in our military who are keeping us safe today. Pray for the fallen at Fort Hood who died needlessly,
that they will be remembered forever for the life they lived. All these men and women who courageously
defend our country and our constitution, that this land will remain free!

Beautiful Gift

Art Piece

This is my latest art piece done in mixed media and collage. I sewed all the pieces of fabric
together and added the red heart with the words "made with". It is all glued to an 8x10 canvas
board. I still don't have the hanger yet as I can't decide what I want to use....ribbon, lace, buttons
etc...will look at it some more! It will eventually show up in my etsy shop. Will let you know when it is complete.

My Second Dozen Comfort Dolls bound for Miami, Florida

This is one of my favorite projects! I make these dolls for women's
centers around the country. This was started by Pat Winter and she has now sent the dolls to every state in the U.S. I enjoy doing
this, all the time knowing it might give someone a lift who is going thru rough times, and that someone is thinking of her and wishing
her well.

Crochet Class

This is our second meeting.
The girls are fast learners! Next week their scarfs should be complete!
