One World One Heart 2011



hi  !

 I am so happy to be participating in One World One Heart this year. I have admired the many bloggers who have made One World One Heart the most wonderful event of the year. Where bloggers around the world meet and greet, share a smile, make new connections...and give a gift. 

What I great idea!
Lisa, the Whimsical Bohemian, is the amazing hostess of One World One Heart.
If you have not heard of this, be sure to follow the link (above and below ) to learn more about it.
This is the 5th and final year. So lets have fun while it's here.





since this hop is all about meeting each other,

  part of the plan is to tell you a little bit about myself

I am an Artist, Crafter, Quilter, Dog Lover, Gypsy 

 On any given day you will find me making something

(or shopping for stuff to make something) 

I love to work with paper, fabric, metal, clay, beads.... well ....everything

I have painted, stitched, photographed, sculpted, drawn, beaded, drilled, hammered, altered, woven, soldered, stamped, pressed, bound, molded, felted, knotted, distressed, restored, recycled ...

 I have a "lets try this and see what happens" philosophy....usually allowing the piece to develop as I go along.





I have been blogging since spring of 2010 but I am just now finding my voice and becoming relaxed enough to actually share my work. I still have a bit of difficulty with this but I am working on it.The blog friends I have made so far are helping me break out of my shell without even knowing it. I am so grateful for that.

I run a small private Sanctuary  for old dogs 

I don't wear shoes whenever possible

my favorite drink is water

I am a night owl as well as an early bird

I live in the woods
the glass is half full. I take a nap everyday 
I am not afraid of snakes or spiders.    
I cried when Pluto was told it could not be a planet anymore.
I am a gemini ... no matter what "they" say 
my husband is not my soul mate... but..... my husband is the best man for the job 
some day I will tell you about my soul mate
Sean Connery could be my soul mate ...but he isn't (( just sayin' )).
 I would rather buy art supplies than anything else
I cook for my dogs
I travel light
I collect
 rubber stamps, coffee mugs, santas,  owls
I hoard
 lace, fabric, pape,r ribbon, books
I love
 my home, old dogs,and puppies too, trees, sunsets,
 red, words, old furniture, holidays, all seasons,
log cabins in the mountains, stars, cottages, beaches

She lives on a fused fabric beach, which is actually a small wall hanging. 
She has a pin on the back of her dress so she can go with you where ever you go.
She also has a loop in her hair so she can hang as an ornament.
