Accordion Stitchery Book Done

Finished and in the mail!

Been working on my accordion stitched Journal

Been working on this here Accordion Stitched Journal.

This has been a fun little project.  I'm taking the on-line class from Dispatch from LA by Mary Ann Moss.  This little accordion booklet is stitched onto canvas.  It started out as the weekly lesson exercise but now has turned into this very personal little gift for my sister in Germany.

Today I will make a little protective cover for it.  Then off in the mail it goes. Oh' I forgot it has secret pockets, that I will fill with special little momentos.  

Art project

After a week off........time to try to finish this little pice of artwork.  Her inner self says "home is where the heart is!"  I can never tell something is done or over worked.  She's getting close.  

I kinda like her just the way she is, so I may just leave her how she is?!?  

Life Book 2017, lesson #38

A friend of mine introduced me to Life Book 2016.  Each week you're given a new lesson.  It's all done on-line. Go at your own pace.  I really learned a lot and it was very healing too.  This year I have not done so well with keeping up.  

I picked out lesson #38, may have bitten off a bit more then I can chew.  I will push thru this and see where it ends up.  Here is my WIP so far.

My hands are never idle

I've been wanting to try my hand and drawing a horse for a while now.  Inspired by one of my daughters friends, who posts these amazing pics of her horse.  I thought I would give it a shot.  I mean whats the worst that can happen, right?!? 

It doesn't turn out. LOL  I'm rather pleased at how he turned out.  And yes he's not exactly like the picture, but I love him.  It's the little things in life that really matter. 

 She doesn't have a name just yet, but she has so many stories to tell!

The End!

Goal for the week

Well my goal for the week is to finally finish my Forest Troll Girl.  Gosh the poor thing has been waiting for ......oh' I don't know how long?!?  Yesterday I attached her hair and made her a cane with mushrooms.  Can't wait to see what else she wants.
