Day 206 - Little birdhouses

I finished the little round blue birdhouse.  I might do some more on it but will surely do at least a coat of modge podge to hold everything on better.

Worked on another of the little birdhouses and this one has a Mary Engelbriet theme.

Here are the start photos:

And then where I quit for the night. 

 I will do some more to the front side of the house.

I also got another coat of black spray paint on the red metal stars

but I forgot to get a photo of them....

Day 154 - Collage Card & Quilt cutting

Collaged a graduation card this morning.

I finished cutting all of the pieces for the Psycho design quilt!!

Day 42 - Card Collaging

It was an Archivers evening with a wonderful friend.  We visited a lot and I worked on 3 Valentine cards and a thank you card.  It was relaxing and fun!

 Here is the thank you card...

Here are the Valentine cards....

And the pincushion for tonight is:

I actually have two of these and they are both in constant use!  I sold these at my gift shop in Butte, Montana years ago.  The base is shaker made wood with a sturdy cotton top. They are generous in size and remain a touchstone to my life in the mountains....

Day 22 - Collaging Cards

Well, had some fun tonight shopping with my daughter at JoAnn Fabrics.  The best part is the sharing of ideas and spending time together...couple of bargains purchased.  Late start on the crafting but worked on collaging the insides of 5 greeting cards while I watched a netflix movie called "Neverwas".  Interesting and the time flew by! Here they are!

Day 12 - Collaging Cards

Spent some time tonight with a dear friend in the work room of Archivers collaging 3 cards.  Always seems a shame to have a beautiful card front and inside blank white with a little saying so....I LOVE using the bits and pieces leftover from other projects to collage inside of my purchased greeting cards!

(Side note:  I am on a break from spending time in my basement studio as I have had a terrible allergic reaction to all of the dust from removing the ceiling...time will tell...)

Another peek at the basement studio area without the ceiling.
