Creative Dawn

Hello!  It has been an interesting year for this creative person that is for sure!  Jobless, then worked at a call center (ugh) and now working at a fabric store.  Definitely a transition year for me.  I am hopeful for the new year because I see it as a blank canvas ready for life to paint it's picture.  Endless possibilities are out there.  There are a few goals that are being set but no 'resolutions.'  Goals are better :) My creativity has really blossomed over the past year and am looking to see what is next.  Last year after being let go from a job without notice it really got me down for a while but generally I'm happy so it didn't last long, besides, with love and support from family and friends, you can't go wrong no matter the situation.  On with the creative part...for Christmas this year I sewed, crocheted, latch hooked, painted and made many gifts as usual.  On Friday and Saturday last week for whatever reas...

Go to any thrift store and you can find something like this cutting board.  They come in all shapes and sizes.  And I just love Halloween, so I did this one in that theme.  Just so you know, I DID NOT use stencils for this one.  It's all freehand.  I love doing fun lettering, and being an artist, it is the most common thing that people ask you to do.  - Can you make me garage sales signs, I need a sign for free kittens, etc. - So, I have become a lettering pro.  This particular decoration was donated, along with a Halloween teddy bear to a benefit one of my friends did.  It helped to raise money for a person struggling with MS.  It feels good to be able to use my talents to assist others!
