Has Time Really Passed So Quickly?



Altered $ Store Vampire



I didn't realize I have not posted in almost two weeks!  I have been so busy trying to get projects done and clean the "art" room!  I have had an obsession lately with Alice and Wonderland and altered objects for halloween.  For many years I didn't decorate for halloween, just for fall, but this year I am really enjoying creating things out of throw away objects and turning them into "art"!

I also managed to complete my September dress for the Dress Up Challenge.  Nothing like being almost into October before completing this!!!!  I was originally going to do a jumper that I remember when I was going to elementry school way back when.  Then I started thinking about all the my grandmother and how she was dressed each time I saw her when I would come home from school for lunch.  My father was in the military and my mother worked, so I spent a great deal of time with my grandmother-this dress reflects her "house" dress with an apron she always wore.  Even though she died in 1972, I still miss her!

That's about it for now.  I hope to be back soon with some additional halloween art and updates on some ATC's, chunky ATC's made out of wood, and pictures of my miniature coffin that I am getting ready to put in the mail.

Have a great one!



























Never Enough Time!

It seems there is never enough time to get everything done I want to!  I always manage to get the "unfun" stuff done, but then there is no time for the "fun" art stuff I want to accomplish!  I did manage to get a couple of things completed or at least almost completed, but I am frustrated that I can't dedicate the kind of time to what I really want to do.  I did manage to get some ATC's done and a good start on an altoid tin altering, some puzzle pieces almost done, and my miniature coffin for a swap just about ready to ship.  There are times I wish I could just take a vacation from household duties and spend time "being artsy" and complete things I need to do.    Here are some of the pictures of things I have completed:

I am once again going out of town for the weekend and I am planning on taking a couple of projects with me to finish up.  I am also thinking about taking the material to cut up for another rag quilt for one of my friends birthdays next week-I need to get on the ball!  Her favorite color is pink and I have a couple of the fabrics but would like to get a couple more so I can get all the cutting and sewing of the blocks done while I have some down time.  I also need to do my September dress for the Dress Up 2010 project-I am a little behind on that one too-so maybe I will take that project with me also!

That's about it, I will give you all a progress report when I return on Monday!  Happy weekend!
