Winter is in the air.

2011-12-16T14:55:00.000-08:00

I love how the weather can inspire me to create. I am enchanted with the way that mica replicates the beauty of new fallen snow and compelled to create the sight of snow with shades of white and creams.

fun,fun, fun!!

2011-06-30T11:54:00.001-07:00

I have been busy lately creating and packing up the new pieces that I am taking to the Earth Angels Spring Fling event that will be held this weekend in Saratoga Springs, NY at Schuyler Pond Home and Garden. If you are in the area please stop by on Sat or Sun to meet all of the amazingly talented Earth Angel artists. I hope to see you there!!

Back to playing with rusty junk!

2011-04-25T18:42:00.000-07:00

Seems like it has been a while since I have been able to create some new work but with the long winter this year, I just was not able to get out and do some junkin and pickin to find goodies to play and create with! Now I just need all the rain to stop so I can get out to the flea markets and garage sales to stock up on supplies so that I can get ready for the next Earth Angels show in Sarasota Springs, NY in May. I think I need to move somewhere that has sunny skies all year round!!

Luckily I was able to find some interesting pieces to work with at the antique stores to keep the creative juices flowing.

Happy Easter

2011-04-23T16:08:00.000-07:00

I cannot believe Easter is here already. I hope that you all will have a wonderful Easter holiday, may it be a day filled with love, family and happiness.

Playing.....

2011-03-25T14:42:00.000-07:00

in the jewelry box again!!! It has been a while since I have made some necklaces and I had a ball making these 5. I just love the process of taking a bunch of jewelry apart and then putting the pieces back together in different combinations. So much fun and it makes me feel like a kid again dressing up with my great-grandma's jewelry.

Waiting for Spring

2011-03-06T15:26:00.000-08:00

I am anxiously awaiting the Spring weather so that I can get back to rooting around at flea markets and garage sales to find all those rusty, worn out goodies to create with! We have had a horrible winter and I am ready to get out into the sunshine and get to pickin. I am dipping into my precious reserves to create with but I am still creating away!

This little flower has put me into the Spring mood and I cannot wait to see the real things blossoming.

The colors in the wood plinth made me also think of Spring with the yellow, purble, blue and green peeking through.

I so love this quote

This large change purse was just begging for a chain and a pretty Spring flower to be attached, along with some lace and bling of course!

This piece would not photograph well for me but I hope you can get an idea of what it is like. I had an old coffee tin that made the perfect little home for this sweet pair of children and I attached it to a metal base with fabric wrapped wires entwined. I think that lace and little butterfly added a touch of Spring.

So please Mother Nature can you stop the snow, the rains and the flooding we have been beseiged with and bring us a little Spring weather here in Northeast Ohio, pretty please???

Wooden boxes

2011-02-23T03:50:00.000-08:00

I just love old wooden boxes, doesn't matter the size or the condition, they are my favorite place to start an assemblage with. I got out my stash of favorite boxes and got to work!

This is an old drawer and a great size to use this wonderful larger photo in, I wish I had that beautiful long, dark hair.

This was an old telephone box that had been painted silver at one point. I loved the depth of it and had such fun creating this piece!

This old cream white box had made me so excited when I found it, I just loved the aged patina of the wood so I added one of my favorite photos to it, a perfect match, I think!

This old drawer is so sturdy and heavy that I tried to balance it out with the delicate little girl and her butterfly.

This old box worked perfectly with the rusty old oil can which I found still had oil in it when I saw the spot of the floor of my car! I finally drained it and got it dried out and love it so much as a base for this piece.

This little angel has found a perfect home for herself in this wonderful aged paper covered box.

This was the lid from the old telephone box so I could not let it go to waste!!

and finally 2 more fabric hearts made just because I so love working with fabric and needle!

to see close-ups of these pieces just stop by here.

He loves me, he loves me not.......

2011-01-21T07:53:00.000-08:00

With Valentines Day approaching I wanted to get into that romantic spirit and create some pieces that celebrate love. I love romantic poetry and it always inspires me to create a visual to go along with it.

I hope that all my ladies are happy with the gentlemen that I have paired them up with, I tried to pick the most handsome of the lot!
This is my favorite piece, I love the muted color of the old photo album cover.

This piece was made in an old vintage toffee candy tin, maybe some lucky lady received it from their sweetie on Valentine's Day.

Is he not the most dapper of gentlemen?? I love his eyewear and his attire.

I found these 2 wonderful fabrics with birds on them and just had to create something with them even though the fabric was not vintage. Fabric was always my first love and it is fun to work with again and to get to use needle and thread.

To see close-ups of all these pieces just take a peek here.

Rusted and reborn

2011-01-05T12:48:00.000-08:00

It's a new year and time to get back to creating some new work! I had a yearning to work with the rustiest pieces of "junk" I could find and give them a new life. These creations are what I came up with.
This is one of my favorite tintypes, I love the black lines running thru it, to me it makes it much more interesting.

After I completed this piece I went to stand it up and it fell face down because of the weight of everything I had added to the front. So after much deliberation I came up with the solution of adding this heavy metal piece to the back and voila it balanced it out so that it stands!

I think this piece the girls are in was an old toaster, but I could be wrong. I just loved the shape of it.

I finally found a use for this old rusty coffee can and love the addition of a piece of lace given to me by the wonderful Laura of 52Flea!

I think this is my favorite rusty one. I even found a tintype with rust on it, just perfect for this piece.

To see more photos of these pieces just take a peek here.

Happy New Year

2010-12-31T06:31:00.000-08:00

I hope that for all of you, 2011 will be a year filled with love, creativity, prosperity, and joy!

Inspired to journal

2010-12-05T10:31:00.000-08:00

I bought a journal the other day to write down ideas and thoughts and had so much fun altering it that I was inspired to create five more! I thought I would offer these for sale in hopes to inspire the desire to journal in others.

Christmas in the air.

2010-12-03T09:09:00.000-08:00

I found these wonderful cardboard ornament blanks at a local craft store and these are some of the ornaments I created with them. I love creating "smalls". It is so much fun to put little bits and pieces together and create away!

Happy Turkey Day

2010-11-24T15:12:00.000-08:00

Happy Thanksgiving wishes, may it be a joyous day to give thanks and blessings for family, friends and everything else that makes you happy!

A great time at the show!

2010-11-22T11:35:00.000-08:00

It was a wonderful weekend spent at the Merry Maker's Show. I met such amazing artists and such wonderful people perusing all of the art. I wish it could have lasted longer!

Witchy creations

2010-10-15T08:32:00.000-07:00

I got the chance to use all the wonderful photos and orange-colored pieces I found antiquing last weekend. I took the large round tin and created this piece using the lid, with an old plastic clock piece attached to it. Then I used the bottom of the tin and another clock case and other goodies on this piece.

I used the photo of these 2 women and one of the orange buttons on this one..

another one of the photos and the pair of sparkly black earrings found there way into this one

The last orange button and one of the wood blocks compliment this witch

The last piece used was the little old case with the orange velvet lining. To see close-ups of these pieces just click on my available work link on the left.

Now I have to start creating with the xmas goodies I found, time to break out the mica flakes!!

Show finds

2010-10-10T12:55:00.000-07:00

I went to a local antique show this weekend and managed to find some goodies that I thought I would share!

Of course I had to pick up some photos, the ladies have already been turned into witches! I love these vintage black and white fabrics, can't wait to use them.
A nice collection of wonderful old blocks, can never have too many of them

Some jewelry bits and pieces

2 great old journals, the one on the right is over and inch and a half thick, that is alot pages!

In Memory of...

2010-10-06T07:03:00.000-07:00

Robert Clayton 1930 -2010
Growing up my brothers, sister and I had a dad in our early childhood, but he was one that was physically there when it was convenvient for him and was for the most part not emotionally there when he was present. But that was okay, because we were surrounded by uncles, 1 uncle in particular that was there whenever we needed him, and we had the most important and constant man in our lives, our grandpa Robert Clayton.

He attended all of our sporting and school activities and made sure we had a fun childhood by making sure we got to go places like Cedar Point and swimming at a local swim park. We had lots of family cook-outs and get togethers. There was never a question of us going without because my granparents were there to help my single mother if she ever needed it,( she did an awesome job though all by herself, we could have not asked for a better mom.)

By watching our grandparents marriage we learned what it meant to be a good husband and especially how a good father acted.

My brothers are the amazing fathers they are today, not because of the example set by our father but by following the example set by our grandpa. Now their children will have the experience of having a true father in lives because of him. What a wonderful legacy to leave all the generations that follow and that is the thing I am most grateful to him for. So I would like to say thank-you grandpa for being an inspiration to us all and you will be dearly missed by everyone that was lucky enough to have had you in their lives.

Country Living Fair

2010-09-29T11:02:00.000-07:00

What a wonderful time it was at the fair this year! It was such a busy show that I did not get to leave the tent much and photograph all the amazing venders that were there. I will just have to share all the wonderful work that was created by the Earth Angels in our tent.

This is my "adopted daughter" Sofie, she is always such a big help to me and everyone there, our fearless leader, Jen O'Connor is in the background sprucing up her scooter!

Here are the paintings of Jennifer Lanne

The teddies and creations of Letty Worley

The art of Krys Kirkpatrick

A mixture of artists including Sue Parker and Nicole Bowen

Paintings by Laurie Meseroll

Stuffed creatures and critters by Valerie Weberpal

and a few shots of my spot in the tent. I wish you all could have been there to enjoy it as much as I did. The next show is in just a couple of weeks in Atlanta for all those that live in the South!

All packed up and ready to.....

2010-09-20T16:31:00.000-07:00

go to the Country Living Fair this weekend in Columbus, OH. I have been hard at work these past few weeks and as promised, wanted to share some of what I have packed up and on it's way!

This is the largest piece, at 2 1/2 feet tall, it also happens to be one of my fav's!
Don't you just love this adorable face?

Next are a few pieces made using old wood clock cases, my favorite things to work with.

Of course, it is not a Fall show without plenty of witches and a warlock too.

and a trio of flower children 25" x 25" collages

If you are in the Columbus area please stop by and see me this Fri. Sat and Sun. I will be sure to take lots of photos of the Fair to share with those who cannot be there!!

Time to get to work!

2010-08-22T13:59:00.001-07:00

I will be taking a break from blogland for a few weeks while I get busy creating new work for the upcoming shows I have in Sept. The clock is ticking and I have to get my rear in gear and get to arting!! I will be back as soon as I can with some sneak peeks of what I will have come up with for the Creative Connection Event to be held Sept. 16-18 and the Country Living Fair to be held on Sept. 24-26.

tick..tock...tick...tock.....

Fabulous finds

2010-08-06T16:50:00.000-07:00

Hubby and I headed out today to Rogers Flea Market in Roger's OH (with a stop at antique shop too).

At the " Dollar Land" booth I snatched up all these wonderful collars and trims for $1 a piece! Oh how I wish every space could be dollar land!!!!!

I found these great glass paper weights that I plan on taking apart and filling up with all kinds of goodies.

I was on the hunt for some millinery flowers and could only find this sweet velvet bunch along with some photos....these women don't know it yet but next month they will be turned into glorious witches for Halloween...ssh, don't tell and spoil their transformations! I think the gentleman will make a handsome warlock, don't you?

Of course it is not a flea market experience for me unless I find some nice rusty junk and tins...

I found a big pile of buttons, they always come in handy for creating

This piece will join my collection of vintage Niagara Falls items, made even more special since my hubby bought it for me.

DISCLAIMER : those who do not like creepy old dolls might want to skip the next couple of pics... ....I was struck at first by their rough condition but then Michael DeMeng popped into my head and said they would make some great creations once they were Demengified ,so to honor him I will do my best to accomplish that (any time I hear his voice in my head, I obey it....LOL.....)

that is this little one doesn't put a hex on me first!!

can you say CREEPY?!?!?!?!?!?

Pretty ladies

2010-07-27T05:35:00.000-07:00

I have quite a collection of tin-types of women and have been experimenting with different ways to use them. I had this idea for awhile of making little purses-cell phone holders that could be worn whenever you don't want to lug around a big purse. So I combined that idea with the tin-types and here is what I came up with!

I used some of my vintage fabrics, laces, flowers and trim for each one. They measure about 3-3/4" x 5-1/2". Each one has been stitched by hand on the sides and I stitched on all the lace and embellishments. Even the photos have been sewn on. I find sewing by hand to be so relaxing even though it is so time consuming!
I decided to give each lady a name, here is Clara..

Eliza Jane

Marabelle

Patience

Coraline

Madeline

Hester Sue

I gave them all pretty long straps made from vintage trims and laces so that they could be worn over the shoulder as modeled by my daughter Callie!

or they straps could be knotted or trimmed to make them shorter to wear around the neck.

To see more photos of each and to get pricing info just take a peek here.

Now what else can I use these tin-types for......the possibilities are endless!

Golden arches

2010-07-19T04:49:00.000-07:00

No, not the kind where inside there are fries, burgers and shakes! (though I could eat some of those fries right now...lol..) I found this pair of brass arch-shaped frames and loved the graceful slope they had and here is what I created with them. I love the photo of this young woman, it looks like she is waiting to meet up with her one true love!

This arch frames a super sweet young girl, I love her pretty golden hair.

This wooden clock case also has the same graceful arch.

Playing..

2010-07-08T05:05:00.000-07:00

in the jewelry box again and these are what I created! I find making jewelry very relaxing and love taking vintage chains apart and putting them back in different ways and of course working with tintypes is always a pleasure! To see more photos just stop by here.

Celebration

2010-07-03T06:38:00.000-07:00

Happy 4th of July to you, may it be a special day with family and friends!

Old books, new life

2010-06-29T06:21:00.000-07:00

I just sent this batch of altered books off to Earth Angel's. I buy so many books to get the poems out of them and then have all these books with half the pages gone ,so this is a great way to use the rest of the book up. I hate to waste anything!

Fun-filled Friday

2010-06-26T08:30:00.000-07:00

The stars aligned and fate stepped in and gave me a Friday free of babysitting. So my son, hubby and I went to the Columbus Zoo. My son wants to be a zookeeper, so we try to visit as many different zoos as we can. I love to photograph animals so it was a fun time for the both of us!

Here are some of my favorite photos..........

Otters are my absolute favorites, I ended up taking over 30 photos just of them, the guys had to pull me by the arm to get me away from them!

Afterwards we went to one of my favorite restaurants, Logan's Roadhouse. It was the perfect ending to a perfect day!

Antiquing finds

2010-06-17T05:24:00.000-07:00

While on vacation in KY, i found a brochure for an antique district near where we were staying. It advertised 6 antique malls with hundreds of dealers between them. I was so exited and ready to find lots of goodies to create with. So forty minutes later I arrived in the quaint little downtown square. There were 3 shops on the right hand side and 3 on the left. I started on the left and all 3 shops were closed for the day, on a Tuesday of all days! So I headed across the street and the first shop was closed for good. So that left me with only 2 open shops to spend my afternoon. Luckily I managed to find a few things to perk up my disappointing afternoon.

I found this sweet little stained linen dress.......

An assortment of rusty, grungy tins....just like I like them!

A couple of books, photos, a wood box, cigar box, wooden ruler and an empty glass paperweight.....

And then finally the piece that made it all worthwhile, this sweet, flower covered hat!! So much for my plans to hit the antique mother-lode, but I was content to find these few great pieces and already have ideas of what I can create with them.

We also stopped at the Louisville Zoo on the way home, where I took a ton of pics. I just love photographing animals. I thought I would share my very fav of this sweet little meerkat.

I just know this is a meerkat mama that was up all night with her little babies and then spent the morning chasing after her older children and finally found one minute in the day where she could sit for a minute and catch her breath!! (or it was a male meerkat that found a good spot to observe his female partner do all the things I just described.....LOL.....)

Back to reality

2010-06-13T13:36:00.001-07:00

The worst part of a vacation is the ride home when you realize it is time to get back to the hustle and bustle of real life! We had a wonderful time during our stay in Bee Spring, KY. The guys fished every morning and night and I got to catch up on some reading since we had no phone or computer access. Here is the view of the backyard of our cabin on Nolin Lake. The dock was right below the trees. The lake was such a pretty blue and I just loved sitting on the dock and listening to the waves hit the shoreline. Our main quest on this trip was to see all the caves in the Mammoth Cave area. This is the fun way to enter a cave, if you don't mind a tight squeeze!

This is the easy way into a cave, not near as much fun

especially when you have to climb all those steps to get back out, I took the pic standing at the half-way point of the stairway, so there alot of steps!

My favorite was the Lost River Cave where you get to take a boat ride on the river in the cave. To enter you have to bend over at the waist, in the boat, because the rock ceiling is so low. A great way to get to know the person sitting across from you...lol..I wish I could share those photos but it was so dark in there not many came out well. Here are some shots in different caves that I thought were pretty.

Here is my favorite pic of my son, Wyatt, at Dinosaur World,

and my favorite pic of my hubby, love the contrast of the blue against his shadow.

We hope to go back one day and do some more caving but I think our next adventure will be visiting the caves in Indiana! I will share pics of my antiquing finds in a couple of day.

Off on an adventure

2010-06-04T06:28:00.000-07:00

This weekend my family and I are heading to Kentucky for a week, to do some caving and exploring. We will be heading to Mammoth Cave National Park and renting a cabin on Nolin Lake for some rest and relaxation ( that means fishing for the boys and antiquing for me!) I will tell all about it when I get back, unless I can't find my way out of one of the caves....LOL...

(This was one of the caves on last year's adventure in Tennessee)

New creations

2010-06-02T06:34:00.000-07:00

I have not been very productive due to another bad case of the stomache flu that had me down for the count for a few days. Thank goodness it finally passed and I was able to get back to creating....yeah! I brought out the pink again, I know twice in one year that I used pink....lol..., but I thought it was the perfect compliment to the pretty blue wood plinth.

I wanted to create a piece using some of the wonderful vintage lace I recently acquired. I wish the detail of the bottom piece of lace showed up better, it is so pretty and delicate. This piece was created on the back of a vintage photo album cover.

I just fell in love with these photos of the little girl and little boy and was so excited to be able to use them.

To see more pics just click on my available work link on the left top of the page to view close-ups.

an 'extravagant" day

2010-05-16T10:35:00.000-07:00

On Sat morning my mom and I went to the Springfield Oh "Extravanga" antique show and flea market. There were over 2,000 vendors to look through and we spent most of the day looking at lots of antique furniture and thousands of items I would have loved to have brought home with me. However, I was on a mission to find things to use for my art.....alas, I did not find as much as I hoped too, or everyone else had already bought what I was looking for on Friday ,but I did find a few treasures... I love these industrial wood pieces, they will be the start of a nice assemblage

Here are some sweet photos and tintypes

Most of the jewelry was very pricey but I did find this great bag of old seed pearls, a metal frame, and a few pieces of bling.

My last stop yielded me this group of "junk" along with some wood blocks and an old compact.

I also found there this neat old railroad lantern, which once I pry the lens open, I hope to create a piece out of

and this old horn that reminded me of a sea shell, this was my favorite find.

And lastly, an update on the birdies. They have all found their wings and are busy flying around the yard.

While I was outside watching the baby robins, I came across another nest with some baby blue-jays. It is amazing that these homely little ones will become beautiful birds! I feel so blessed to be able to observe Mother Nature and am thankful to be surrounded by her beauty.

Birdie update

2010-05-10T09:46:00.000-07:00

Wow, I can't believe how much the little baby birds have grown in one week! They are getting their feathers in and are starting to look like little robins. I can't even imagine my children growing that fast!

Happy Mother's Day

2010-05-08T06:24:00.000-07:00

Proud mama..

2010-05-05T04:16:00.000-07:00

With Mother's Day approaching, I wanted to share the newest mama in my neighborhood. This sweet little robin had built her nest outside on the ledge of the garage window. When I went out yesterday to check on her eggs, they had finally hatched! Here are her 4 little babies, I know they are not the cutest things right now but I cannot wait to see them get their little feathers ,open those eyes and learn to fly!
Of course I had to name them, so in honor of my favorite book and movie, To Kill a Mockingbird, meet Atticus, Scout, Jem and Boo!

a wood whatchamacallit....

2010-05-03T06:55:00.000-07:00

I had made plans to go flea marketing on Sat and Sun, but as usual in NE Ohio we had nothing but rain on both days, so my plans were washed away....lol.... I opted to go to a local antique mall instead and found what to me was one of my best finds ever.
Stuck leaning against the wall in a booth was this amazing wood piece. My heart literally started racing when I saw it because visions of altering it went flying thru my head.
Then I reached down and turned it over and saw this and let out a squeal of utter delight!! The possiblilities of what I could do just now became endless.

I reached for the tag to see what this unique piece actually was and the tag read "wood whatchamacallit", not really a big help...lol.... but it didn't matter what it was ,it was going to be mine! My hubby thinks it was some kind of industrial mold, but I think it is going to be an amazing foundation on which to create!!

I guess I have to a reason to be thankful for rainy day weekends!

My favorite artist is.........

2010-04-28T15:20:00.001-07:00

Mother Nature .............what a wonderful color palette she uses!

Island of Misfit Toys..

2010-04-23T06:36:00.000-07:00

I have always been drawn to things that are forlorn and tattered. Nothing makes my heart sing like a dolly with her face all cracked and faded, or a stuffed animal that might be missing some parts or has patches of stuffing hanging out. I try to give these little misfits a home to live in and a place where they will be loved no matter how they look. To me they are perfect just the way they are!
I thought I would share some of my favorite "misfits"

This little one creeps my kids out the most but she is my favorite, she has a face only a mother could love.....
This little sweet has lost the paint on her eyes but she still has her arms and legs.........

This little guy has lost his arms but he is just as cute as can be..

This poor bear has no eyes and many ragged holes, but doesn't he look well-loved?...

This doggie has to be in the worst shape of all but somewhere some child loved him to pieces!

Altering Time

2010-04-16T08:32:00.000-07:00

Well, I finally finished up 5 of the clock pieces that I have been hard at work on! I have so much fun working with the wood clock cases, to me they are a perfect canvas on which to create. Luckily, I still have a few more to work with!

For this one, instead of creating something inside the opening, I added everything to the case itself. I loved the clock workings and added them to the front .
Love this poem!

I got to use one of my new tintypes that I bought a couple of weeks ago.

This one turned out to be one of my all-time favs. I think I will have to hold on to this one for awhile as it will be hard for me to let go! I love the case and the photo of these to sweet babies.

I wonder if these were fraternal twins or maybe they were not related at all.

I was able to use sea shell on this one, I just love digging thru my collection and picking the best ones to use.

I finally found a use for some of my old square nails, they kind of remind me of spokes on a ship's wheel.

This is another fav , plus it is a real working clock, i love using the old wheels too, this way time will keep rolling on....

yeah, more tintypes and a beautiful poem too...

This is the smallest of the cases, the carving on the wood is so pretty, I did not want to cover it too much.

What a perfect family in a perfect little home!

I'm a DeMenganite!

2010-04-12T04:48:00.000-07:00

I had planned to spend all day yesterday on altering the clock cases I had been working on but after a quick trip to the book store, where I picked up Michael DeMeng's newest book, that did not happen! I spent most of the afternoon with this wonderful book and artist. First, I just went thru and looked at all the stunning photos, then I went back and read the book cover to cover and since I had such a great time laughing and learning, I went back and read it all over again!

Then of course, I had to go back and reread his first book "The Secret of Rusty Things" again. His work just inspires me so much and I just think he is one of the most amazing artists ever. How lucky we all are that he shares his creativity by writing these wonderful books.

I would so love to be a fly on the wall in his studio to watch him create but with my luck he would smack me with a flyswatter, paint me and liquid nail me to one of his creations.....lol.....

weekend finds

2010-04-05T12:38:00.000-07:00

Well we finally had a beautiful weekend here in OH and I was able to do some flea marketing. I picked up a couple of old books, some vintage jewelry and these wonderful finds...

I found this old photo album full of tintypes, when I got it home and took all the photos out,I had this amazing collection of 100 tintypes!

I was also able to get this great collection of old clock cases, I can't wait to use these!!!

A recipe for Easter fun...

2010-04-03T08:37:00.000-07:00

start with 188 plastic eggs filled with candy (I was able to fill them all without sampling the candy.....that is supreme will-power...lol..) gather up 5 kids(these are the gang that I babysit for)

and then let them go!! The bigs boys all gather together and run to the same area

this smart little cookie took off by herself and had her basket filled in no time!

closely inspect each egg to make sure they are plastic...

keep adding to your bucket..........

then gather around and beg to open up the eggs!!

I hope that you all will have a wonderful Easter holiday with your family and friends too!

Everything old is new again

2010-03-31T04:31:00.000-07:00

On my last flea market journey I found some neat old "junk" and these are what I created with that 'junk'!.....

my favorite....

2010-03-26T03:28:00.001-07:00

photo. I have had many old photos cross my path these past few years, but this one has to be my all time fav. I am not sure if it is a boy or a girl, I go back and forth all the time. What I love the most is the little downturned mouth and the eyes.
Was this little one sad, bored, not feeling well or just tired of the long process of getting their photo taken? I wonder about this all the time and my answer changes depending on the mood I am in.
For some reason this little one just speaks to my heart and I will treasure this photo always.

Anticipation.........

2010-03-21T09:23:00.001-07:00

I am eagerly awaiting Spring's arrival so that I can see my most favorite flower, the daffodil, grow tall and open it's beautiful yellow petals... and smell the glorious scent of the hyacinth as it bursts opens

and to inhale the smell of the lilacs and enjoy their wide array of colors,

but for now I am content to see the pussy-willows as they open, they last for such a short time but they always let me know that Spring is on it's way!!

Just finished

2010-03-16T09:41:00.000-07:00

These are the 2 pieces that kept me busy the past few days. I love the poetry snippets I found. I don't know what takes longer, putting everything together or reading all of my poetry books. I love both aspects though!!

frustration leads to...

2010-03-08T04:43:00.000-08:00

Most of the time I can look through my piles of "junk", see a piece and almost immediately see in my mind exactly what I want to create with it. That was not the case with the latest creation I just finished.

I had found this great old, rusty metal lamp holder and was so excited to use it, however my excitement turned into frustration when I could not figure out how best to use it. One week later and after alot of tinkering and changes I think I am finally happy with it!

This is one of my all time favorite poems and I love using it whenever I can.

I hope these 2 little angels are happy in their new "home"!

Sleeping beauties...

2010-03-03T06:21:00.001-08:00

My niece Ellie, one of the little ones I babysit for, won't take her nap upstairs because of the "monsters" so she curls up on the loveseat for her daily nap. My little Maggie who loves any opportunity to nap, sleeps with her everyday. They are so cute that I just had to share this pic!

I like pink?!?!?

2010-02-25T16:29:00.001-08:00

I have never been a pink person. I know most girls are drawn to almost any shade of pink but that has never been me. I don't have a speck of it in my home or closet. My favorite color is gray followed by black. I am drawn to dark, deep colors and will gladly pass up a pastel color in any shade, that is until recently!
I find that in my old age now ( 43 is getting up there....hehehe...) I might be weakening in my position towards other colors beside the dark, somber ones. One of my favorite blogs to read in the wonderful my faerie window by the equally wonderful Lori Karla. She is a master of creating in wonderful light shades of pink, blues, greens and purples.
While out antiquing last weekend, I came across some vintage pink ribbon and found myself strangely drawn to it. I heard Lori's voice ( or what I imagined Lori's voice to sound like..) telling me to bite the bullet and just buy that pretty pink ribbon. That it was time to cross over to the light side!
So, since I don't normally hallucinate people's voices, i felt it was sign that I needed to purchase that pink ribbon and to create something with a bit of pink in it and so I did......

and look there is even some baby blue in there too.....how brave and daring of me!!!

I have finally overcome by fear of pink and learned that it not such a bad color after all! In fact, I have some of this ribbon left over and am actually looking forward to using it again. So Lori, I would like to thank you for inspiring me to embrace my inner pink side. It is a nice change for me and I realize that a little change in life is a good thing...though I still don't think there will ever be any pink in my closet....lol...!!!

Introducing.......

2010-02-21T10:42:00.000-08:00

some of my latest creations!

to see close-ups just check out my available work link to the left.

Love is in the air

2010-02-13T10:46:00.000-08:00

I hope you all will have a wonderful Valentine's Day with the special person or people in your life! Valentine's inspired me to create some pieces that celebrate love. I made these 3 little hanging pieces from some vintage change purses that feature a lovely woman on them, then dangling down is a picture of their sweetie. I hope they like the matches that I made, I tried to pick the most dashing gentlemen!!

This piece was inspired by the color red, I don't use it that much but on this piece I think the dash of red velvet makes it extra special, kind of like a tin Valentine! Almost as good as a box of chocolates.......well maybe a close second!!

and here they are........

2010-02-11T09:51:00.000-08:00

Here are the 3 finished alarm clock pieces made from those great old clocks I found! Sorry the pics are not the best, i usually take pics outside but since my porch has over a foot of snow on it, I had to take them inside! The flash seems to wash them out a bit, but at least they are all warm and toasty here inside!

Time's a ticking.......

2010-02-09T04:58:00.000-08:00

I found these 3 great old alarm clocks a couple of weeks ago and am currently working on altering them, 2 down, 1 to go....stay tuned to see how they change!!

Spring where are you ??

2010-02-01T04:17:00.000-08:00

Oh how I wish Spring would get here soon.....sigh......my family and I have been battling the stomache flu all week and I so wish I could open all the doors and windows to let some fresh, clean spring air in to get rid of all this germy, stale winter air! If only it was warmer than the current 12 degrees......

A favorite Christmas gift....

2010-01-17T07:03:00.000-08:00

My friend, the superbly talented artist Amy Dabbs, sent me this wonderful piece of art for christmas. I fell in love with it the first time I saw it on her blog, and when I inquired about it, it became my christmas present. How lucky am I??!! The detail and time she puts into every piece amazes me. I can sit for hours and just find more and more little bits and pieces that make me smile. Here is a close-up of this little one's face, don't you just love it!!

even the back is stunning, i love how it is covered with strips of fabric and wired to hang!!

and to top it all off, she sent me this beautiful tag, that was painted and then stitched on to a leather backing. So clever and amazingly detailed.

you gotta love these sweet faces!!

You have to stop by her etsy shop to see more of her incredible art. I am so lucky and blessed to have such a talented, sweet person as my friend!!! Thanks Amy, i will treasure these pieces for many, many years.

100th post giveaway!!!!!!

2010-01-09T13:11:00.000-08:00

So many times I have been asked "what inspires you to create your art?". The answer to that is kind of hard to come up with since so many things inspire me. The better question to ask is "why do you create?" The answer to that is easy.......to keep my sanity!!!

After a day of homeschooling my 14 yr old ,running a small in home daycare for children under 4 yrs, cooking, cleaning and all the myriad of other things a wife and mother has to do in a day, I need to retreat to my room after all the work is done and take time for myself and create away!! Playing with all my old rusty hardware and looking through boxes of old photos is a great de-stresser and it just plain makes me happy!

So in honor of my passion for creating, I would like to share with 3 fellow bloggers a collection of things that will help you create and have some fun! I have 3 groups of goodies...each contains 6 Stampington papers, 15 vintage photos, some lace, old jewelry, buttons, a key, a spoon, some buttons, a set of 5 playing cards, brass animals, a clock gear, a hinge, a little birdie and whatever else you see!!

Here is collection A
Collection B

Group C - (the paper on the right says ladies, sorry it looks a little gruesome with the la cut off)

All you have to do for a chance to win is just leave me a comment and on Thursday, Jan 14, I will pick 3 winners out of tin of all the entrants. Good luck and thanks for taking the time to stop by my little corner of the blog world!!

one more to go!!

2010-01-06T09:08:00.001-08:00

This is my 99th post so that means that my 100th will be celebrated with a special giveway. Stay tuned and check this weekend to see what that will be!!!!!

A Wicked-ly good time

2009-11-20T04:57:00.001-08:00

Yesterday, I went with my mom and daughter to see the musical Wicked. I tried years ago to get tickets and was not able and this time when they came back I vowed to get tickets no matter what!
I have read the Wicked trilogy, and cried like a baby after the first one because the story touched me so much. So of course, I ended the show by crying again! Are there any other Wicked fans out there? If you are not I urge you to read one of the books or see the musical, you will not be disappointed!

Antique show finds

2009-11-16T04:35:00.000-08:00

Sunday was my day to go to the monthly Olde Stark Antique Fair, one of my favorite shows. I managed to find these amazing photos and jewelry pieces A bag of mica flakes and this sweet little church

and one of my best finds ever, a deck of 175 playing cards, all dirty and grungy just like I like them. I think I even let out a squeal when I first saw them!!

A rare occurence

2009-11-05T06:49:00.000-08:00

I have 2 cats Riley (he is black) and Maggie (she is gray) that are always at odds with each other. Today there was a moment of peace while they both shared a spot on their favorite cushion. Riley even shared his favorite white mouse with Maggie. Did this peace last, alas it did not, but I enjoyed it for the few minutes it did!

My new friend

2009-11-01T08:44:00.000-08:00

Sorry I have been away from blogland for a while, but I caught that nasty flu bug that is going around and it has knocked me for a loop! After a couple of weeks I am now starting to feel almost back to normal (or as close to normal as I will ever be...lol..)

While recuperating I won my very first giveaway ever! Tina at tinybear sent me this adorable little bear named Miss Libbit. I cannot believe my luck that I won this amazingly sweet little bear. She definitely brightened my day and I just want to thank Tina for letting her come and live with me. She is such a talented artist and I am so honored to have a piece of her work in my home. Thank you so very much Tina!! Just look at this sweet face.........
Well, I thought she looked a little lonely so I dressed her up with a little bow pin and set her in a little tart tin and put her next to my favorite dolly so that she will have a friend to talk to! I hear them chatting away all the time!!

Another birthday wish

2009-10-23T04:52:00.000-07:00

I have another important birthday wish to share and that is for my daughter Callie who turns 21 today! I have been battling the flu and missed out on her celebration last night but I hope that we can celebrate together as soon as I am feeling better.

I can't believe my sweet little girl has made it to such an important milestone birthday. Where have the past 21 years gone! I have been so blessed to be able to be her mother, life has not always been easy for her but she is such a strong woman who perserveres and her smile just melts my heart every time I see it.

So Happy 21st Birthday to my little CayCay!

Birthday Wishes

2009-10-16T13:53:00.000-07:00

14 years ago today my baby boy was born. So today I wanted to wish him a very special Happy Birthday.

Whenever I read part of the poem Life Sculpture by William Doane, I always think of my son Wyatt so I thought I would share those words:

Chisel in hand stood a sculptor boy

With his marble block before him,

And his eyes lit up with a smile of joy,

As an angel-dream passed o'er him.

He carved the dream on that shapeless stone,

With many a sharl incision:

With heaven's own light the sculpture shone -

He'd caught that angel-vision.

Happy Birthday Wyatt!

The wonderful Country Living Fair

2009-09-21T04:38:00.000-07:00

I am back after 4 days spent in Columbus at the Country Living Fair. It was such a great experience and I was so lucky to meet so many wonderful people.

Sorry things look a little washed out, it is a dreary day and I had to use the flash which lightens things up too much!

"Weird women"

2009-08-24T05:21:00.000-07:00

My hubby, son and I went to the local flea market on Sat. where I came across a booth that had a box of such wonderful "junk". Of course I started salivating as soon as I spied it and immediately grabbed it up. The man selling it said "Let me guess, you are buying all this junk for art" and of course I said yes. He then went on to say " I don't get what kind of art you can create with this junk but thank goodness for weird women like you that buy it".

Now most people would be affended by being labeled as weird but I don't mind being called weird as long as I know I am part of a community of creative women who can turn this so called junk in to art!!!

Thanks Amy!

2009-08-19T06:29:00.000-07:00

My friend Amy of roses,radishes and rubbish sent me a package yesterday full of these wonderful goodies, first are these 2 books and 1 sweet book cover
This amazing group of architectural pieces, with wonderful rusty patina

And best of all one of her sweet little folk painted tags, is'nt it adorable!!

Thanks so much Amy, these pieces will all be put to use and much needed as I am busily working away getting ready for the Country Living Fair. I can't wait to see what I can create with them all!!!

One of my son's and mine favorite activities is hiking on the many trails of the metro park system. Lace up your sneakers and join us for a little 1.6 mile hike we just took. First we start off in a heavily wooded area, lots of cooling shade and the sound of birds chirping and little critters scurrying about.
Cross over the bridge covering one of the many little creeks

Stop and take a break by the pond

Head off into the fields of cattails

Don't step on the dragonfly!

Listen to the bullfrogs croak near the marsh

Finish up back in the woods, say goodbye to the little birds til next time.

My mom, son and I went out this weekend and did some serious antiquing so that I can get ready for the Country Living Show in Sept. Here are some of the wonderful items I found to create with! This box of hardware has the most beautiful shade or robin's egg blue paint on it!!

Some sweet aged lace

Odds and ends

Some great cigar boxes and neat boxes with cats on it to use for Halloween pieces

A couple of great wood boxes and architectural pieces

The newest addition

This weekend my hubby found a wonderful old glider to add to our porch. I love the rust on it and washed it down and will just add a clear coat to protect it and leave it in all it's rusty glory! A few pillows and maybe an old quilt will finish it off. We hope to have the porch finished up soon as well as the restoration of the other glider, I can't wait!

The super talented Angela Petsis

There are so many different artists that I admire and love, I thought I would share some images of the amazing work of one of my very faves, Angela Petsis.
I am the proud owner of 7 pieces of her art and here are pics of 4 of them. Her work speaks right to my heart and every piece affects me deeply.
The pics don't do justice to all the tiny details that make her work so unique. I look forward every day to seeing what new creations she lists in her Etsy shop. If you would like to see more stop by here, I hope you will feel what I feel when I see her art.
