My very first Christmas card arrived today!
... with a note.
"No posts since September ...!?!"
Oh my ... posting is truly hard for me when
I can not share what I'm painting and stitching
with all of you.
I do post often on Instagram, love the ease
of posting photos of the everyday happenings
in my life on that platform.
I've heard from a few of you that have
wondered where I've been, here is a re-cap
since September.
 |
| Gorgeous late summer night here in Florida. |
 |
| The perfect little model. I truly wasn't positive I could still sew like this! |
 |
| The next little artist in the family, chalk is his present medium of choice. |
 |
| Ginger plants that were just the color I needed one day. Yes ... they'll probably end up in a design at some point. |
 |
| A morning with my brother and sis in law. Mimosas, Music by Munn Park Saints, and ART! Of course ... |
 |
| I'm active in a group called '4 Squared Makers' ANYONE, can join in ... you purchase '4' - 4" square wood blocks from our creative leader. You'll be given a theme for the next pop up show, then you get creating in any medium. The above is colored pencil by me on smooth stock, mounted on the wood block. I offer optional framing to whomever buys my pieces. For more information you can find us on FaceBook or email betsy@thebohrergallery.com |
 |
| ART, lots of art. I have Giclee reproductions available for many of my original art. Then there are the play pieces I've stitched up here and there that were never intended for reproduction. These are all available for purchase. You can contact me if any strike your fancy via email at aKimberlydesign@gmail.com |
 |
| Gecko and Dragonfly art blocks. |
 |
| Love a flower show .... |
 |
| I can needlepoint anything! I was gifted this super super fine mesh copper last summer. It looks like soft fabric until you catch your finger on it! But oh! the results! |
 |
| This one was snatched up by my long time friend and fellow stitcher/designer Michael Boren. |
 |
| 'Colors of Autumn' |
 |
| ArtCraft Festival in St Pete and Palace Pizza in Lakeland. Wonderful day of beautiful weather, great friendship, amazing art and pizza [gluten free] in my favorite Lakeland spot. |
 |
| My kind of selfie ... the bird was an after thought. Karen Hennessy of Zecca loves to paint crazy birds and posts many pictures of the real thing that speak to moi. I love to sketch them. |
 |
| 'Ruth and Harley' Hard to see as this is straight out of my sketchbook. There is a personal push to draw every day .... no guarantee and no beating myself up if I don't. Ruth is my amazing friend and distributor Ruth Schmuff Designs @ BedeckedandBeadazzled.com |
 |
| 'Winter Collection' 15" x 30" original painting titled 'Magic and Grace' Framed Gallery of Trees and Hand decorated painted box also with a Gallery of Trees variation. |
 |
| I really love how this turned out. It is for sale but ... I really love it so much ... I actually put a nail in the wall and hung it. |
 |
| 'Magic and Grace' makes me smile complete feel good piece. |
 |
| Anyone who has known me 'since my beginnings' in the needlework industry, will remember the above tassel. This is 'me' giving you a sneak peek at what is happening behind the scenes. Wait for it ... |
 |
| I spent about three hours standing on a cement floor selling art last Friday in a crazy Whoville Hat. I just could not resist being silly and getting myself into the holiday spirit of the season. I'm often a Scrooge until about Christmas eve. Shown here with great friend, Betsy Bohrer, who submitted to joining in on my madness for a whimsical night of silliness. We've been labeled 'Mischief and Mayhem' and may have fully earned those titles once again. What a great friend. May the spirit of the season find you too!  |
