The perils of working nights while most of the world does not..... I passed out at 430ish set my alarm to wake me at 630.... that didn't happen. Well, the alarm went off, but it did not raise the dead. So here I am at 3am, wide awake, having missed most of my day off. CRAP.
Anyway, here I sit, catching up on a day's worth of email..... I woke to something totally pleasant to look at in an email feed from "Unusual Life".... which BTW, is a great site/feed if you are into unusual stuff. In the Unusual Life feed I found THIS article on the Purple palace Art House. I love people who know how to live life out loud! What a great environment that would be to live in.... all that COLOR!
Also found via a signature link on a post from the QuiltartChallengeDoll Yahoo group being organized by Jill Smith, this great tutorial on neopastel colored fiber artcards by Debbie, sorry not sure of her last name or I would credit her fully.
Lot's to do today and I work Vi noon till 10pm... I better get moving.

If you could teleport to any place in the world right this second, where would you go?
To my oldest daughter's house, for a visit...or to the beach... hmm, if this was summer and it was warm out it would be a hard choice, but it's dropping to 20 at night right now and much easier to decide....
I am now cutting mats for the 2 painted sun faces I decided to give away from the November batch for the One World One Heart event so I can frame them and get them into the mail:
I painted a sunface bank:
I am working on finishing a round jewelry Box:
The cats have been amusing me by stealing paint brushes, buttons and glittery trims, they seems to be intent on living a life of crime:
I lined the sunface cigar box purse and have it ready to go up on my webpage.
I painted and appliqued 3 art bag purses at Vi's yesterday, but I lost my sunlight and cannot get a even semi decent pic of them right now with my cell phone so I'll post them tomorrow or the next day, I really went wild with them, each one is a different style, one is sorta a journal-style bag, I had loads of fun....Vi did a lot of head scratching, she said they are beautiful but she thinks I am nuts.
And I got the tops done for 6 fiber art cards that I am quilting tonight while watching TV, 2 of them were experiments in terror because I was playing with EZ Batik... I LIKE that stuff! I got pics taken and emailed them to myself, but it has been over 15 minutes and they have not come through yet so yahoo must be admiring them. I'll post them when they show up.
Edit: Well the batik ones made it through anyway, the one on the left is done on black fabric and the one on the right is on white, of course:
And finally, the painted sunfaces came creeping through, these will be appliqued onto fiber art cards and have pieced rays, hopefully by tomorrow evening:
See? I am not a total slacker.......
What Andrea Means |
 You are usually the best at everything ... you strive for perfection. You are confident, authoritative, and aggressive. You have the classic "Type A" personality. You are very intuitive and wise. You understand the world better than most people. You also have a very active imagination. You often get carried away with your thoughts. You are prone to a little paranoia and jealousy. You sometimes go overboard in interpreting signals. You are balanced, orderly, and organized. You like your ducks in a row. You are powerful and competent, especially in the workplace. People can see you as stubborn and headstrong. You definitely have a dominant personality. You are wild, crazy, and a huge rebel. You're always up to something. You have a ton of energy, and most people can't handle you. You're very intense. You definitely are a handful, and you're likely to get in trouble. But your kind of trouble is a lot of fun. You are friendly, charming, and warm. You get along with almost everyone. You work hard not to rock the boat. Your easy going attitude brings people together. At times, you can be a little flaky and irresponsible. But for the important things, you pull it together. |
