Jellybean Felt

OK, here is felt piece number three of my larger project.  I don't know if it is the colors or the shapes or a combination, but this makes me want some jelly beans.  Yum!  I want some Starburst Jellybeans now!  They are my all time favorite! 

I know on with the blog.  I have all of my pieces finished for this larger felt project, but figured you might get bored if I posted six in a row of similar projects. I am trying to mix it up, so felt is NOT on the agenda for tomorrow but something really cool is.  You better be back to check it out.  

My thoughts are bouncing around today, so bear with me. 

Did you ever wake up in the middle of the night with a super cool idea or solution to a problem and then forget it in the morning?  I have, so now, I keep a little note pad by my bed.  This doesn't always work because if I dream up something colorful and complex I am not usually coherent enough to transfer the basics to my notes or I just wake up and forget too fast.  I hate it when that happens!  Rambling today, sorry!  Is anyone hungry right now?  I am going to go get some Jelly beans!  :)

Heartthrob Cafe Memories

The best job ever and the coolest friends that I ever had were when I worked at a restaurant called the Heartthrob Cafe.  It was in downtown St Paul, Minnesota and was so fun!  Today we had a get together to catch up and reminisce.  This is one of the many good things about facebook, finding people that you wished you never lost contact with.  So, today my post is the buttons that I made for this event.  We had 'flair' that was a lot more fun and cool than a restaurant chain that I will not name here.  We danced and sang birthday songs.  The girls wore poodle skirts and we did all of this while wearing in line skates.  We were a crazy family and honestly this was one of the best times in my life.  Ahhh...memories. In the time spent there somehow the button machine came into my possession.  In honor of our gathering, of course I had to make pins.  Here are also two murals that I painted at the restaurant.  Let me...

Too many ideas!

When is comes to this time of year, my mind goes into creative overdrive.  I realize my posting is much less now that my original goal has been met, but believe me, I am still making stuff.  There are about ten Christmas gifts in the works as well as my calender drawings.  Current projects involve sewing, crafting, drawing and crocheting.  I am proud to say that a good chunk of gifts are already done or close to being done, yeah!  Working in a fabric store has definitely boosted my creativity and some days too many ideas are crowding my mind.  Because funds are still low for us, I have been buying things bit by bit every payday.  It helps to not have to blow an entire paycheck all at once.  This also is good because with my discount on top of sale price, I have gotten some incredible deals. Add caption Today, my post will be the first of my calender pages.  There are two finished so only ten to go!

Art is my LIFE!

Here it is the last of my daily posting.  Nothing fancy today just a simple drawing to sum up this year.  My life has changed a lot since last August.  John Lennon wrote a wonderful song with this line, "Life is what happens while you're busy making other plans."  It is so true, you never know what will happen when you wake up in the morning, each day is a new adventure. I will continue to create and post but it will be nice to be able to focus on larger projects and spend more time on them.  In this past year, my style and interests have grown so much and I am very proud of this accomplishment.  Please continue to check back with me!
