Art of Mine

Hi Everyone!! Hoping All of you are enjoying 2013 so far!! As for me...well I am sick with one of those horrible Flu like Virus' that are going around. Sorry to say I don't look as healthy as I do in this photo I took of myself on New Years Eve. At the moment I look like death warmed over, and feel like it!! Hoping to get back into my craft room when I feel better, and start going through a lot of my stuff and get rid of things I don't need anymore!! When the fabrics, ribbons, laces and such are all in their rightful places my mind can start thinking of new ideas and then the creative juices can once again flow. Drop in and say Hi...I love hearing from you!! Love and Blessings to All Susan      XOXOX

 Hello Sweet Friends, I wanted to share with you an event that my husband an I have attended for the last 5 years now. Both my husband and myself come from Scottish decent. We love to visit the highland Games when they come to the beautiful Stone Montain Park, out side of Atlanta. this year was the Highland Games 40th. anniversary at  Stone Mountain Park!   This is the famous Stone Mountain. there is a beautiful carving on the side of Robert E. Lee and General Sherman.  While you stroll through the many Clan booths and wares people are selling, you can find a booth where you can purchase a beautiful costume. I love this picture so much of the elderly lady adjusting the beautiful costume for the young lady, as the mother looks on!  I always have to stop by my clans booth to visit this lovely couple.

 Hi Sweet Fiends!! I hope All of you are enjoying some cooler weather, now that we are coming into Fall. I know some of you are still have some rather hot weather though. I have been pretty busy lately making different things. I made this beautiful Satin flower cuff bracelet recently, for a friend of mine, who loves pink!  I wrapped the cuff around this vintage jewelry roll. There are tiny accordion pockets that expand and a larger zippered compartment. I put little charms, crystal drops, a watch face, and other little trinkets in each pocket for her too! To the right is where I keep some of my ribbons and trims! Little fabric books..etc!  My newest Indian Maiden bag was a Birthday gift to a cherished friend of mine. Marilyn loves the Native Americans so much. She was so excited about the cowgirl bags and Indian Maiden bags I was making, to Help the Lokota Indians in S. Dakota, so I knew just the present to gift her with!!!  This ...

Hi Dear Friends.... I have been absent from Blogland for soooo long! I have missed you very much!!! I can not believe that this is the last day of summer...where did it go??? For me summer was spent at the Physical Therapy office. In some ways I have improved, in other ways I have not. I will probably keep going for awhile longer. I started in June and now we are going into October. I must say the weather here in Georgia has cooled off a bit...whew I can not take the hot hot summers here at all!! Too hot for me! I wanted to share a collage I have just finished making for a dear friend of mine. Her birthday was a couple of weeks ago. But between her and my schedule's we have been unable to find the time to meet up. Nevertheless I made this just for her! She loves the soft greens, golds, tans, and pinks. So I am hoping  that she will like it!!! How are All of you doing?? Please drop me a note and let me know you are...
