Tuesday, Tea and Play Time

Good Morning Friends !

So what do you do when you have three or four deadlines for specific projects?

Well if you're me, you pick up an old project that was cast aside
...who knows when....
and resurfaced during "the great craft room purge and clean up".

I don't know when I started this fabric collage.

But....even though the theme might be a bit overdone.

I decided I still want to finish it so I could hang it next to a clock.

( Remind me to get a clock for the craft room. )

this is not attached yet....I'm still pondering

These are not attached yet either.....same pondering.

And the butterfly....tilt left?, right?, no tilt?

not attached....

....this pondering will go on all day.

But they are just a distraction. Because what I am really pondering right now is

how to quilt the piece I made for the HO HO HO Blog Hop coming up very soon.

( can't show you yet .....sorry )

soon ... very soon.

Do you do this too?

Do you work on a "less important" project while noodling out

details of a "more important" one?

For me the distraction actually helps me focus.

I'm sure this is probably a brain disorder....

but who has time for analysis?

Christmas is coming .....it'll be here in no time at all.

dusting off some rubber stamps

Just a quick note to show you what I've been up to.....

yes in addition to the stuff over on my home blog..... here

I've joined Creative Lenna's Mail Art Swap. This is a perfect reason to use some rubber stamps that have not seen daylight in several years. This is why I save every single stamp I have ever bought....you never know when they will come in handy.

This is the back of the envelope..... I have no idea why I didn't take a photo of the front.

hey Leslie ....look some of it's crooked !

i love this saying!

Well that's it for today. I hope you all have a sunny sky where you are. I have to go out and blow the leaves. Mother Nature is is telling me that Winter will be here sooner than we expect.
Have a great Day !

Summer Camp

Last week was full of unexpected surprises.
I woke up last Wednesday sick as a dog....no pun intended...and wound up at the vet...eh...um, I mean emergency room. Usually I am the one rushing a dog to the vet. But on Wednesday it was Lifeguard's turn to rush me to the ER. After 6 hours, 22 minutes and 7 tests....They don't have any idea why I was not able to stop puking and well...you know....yeah too much information right....Right. Not to worry. I'm well now.

Two days after the ER event I drove to the mountains of western PA as in Pennsylvania, to attend Art on a Limb. An Artist retreat. Remember in my very first post I told you I was slightly agoraphobic. Lifeguard thinks the stress of attending a retreat with 17 women....women I do not know....sent me over the edge and into the ER. Who knows, he could be right.
Anyway
Putting all fear and illness aside I drove to PA.
And I'm so glad I did. The ladies were the most friendly I have met in a long time and we all had so much fun.
The retreat was hosted by Lisa Patterson and the guest instructor
was Cheryl Darrow of TenSecond Studio.
