I know...I know...

I've been rather quiet ...

but ...

I've been rather busy doing more art.

Soon ...

they'll be something I can share.

In the meantime ...

I'm creating and of course, 

it's colorful!

Me too, pay attention to me ...
Of course ... this is just a portion
of the pile of threads I'm playing with.
I need MORE !

You just thought this was going to be easy Mom ...

Hmmmm ....

"DRAGON and Son"
We did release another of my Dragons.
He's looking so impressed with himself 
as the little one peeks down from above.

"DRAGON & Son" 
is available now through my distributor
Ruth Schmuff Designs

what I want to do...

versus what I should do....

this can really screw with my focus, my priorities....

because until I can do what I want...

I can't totally focus on what I should...a quandary for sure.

Drew these organic forms some time ago, now I want to paint them....

...see the bag of threads nestled in the bowl to the center...

what I should be doing.

 Late evening stitching, Chance is in need of a couple new collars...
and its a quick way to play with color.

So this is me just checking in this week. Still have my marbles!

Have a wonderful weekend, 

hoping all my family & friends up North 

are staying safe and warm.

O frabjous day! Callooh! Callay!

Happy Valentine's Day! 

Hope you all give yourself a big hug and 

treat yourself in some way that makes you totally happy! 

Just look at her sweet face.
My sweetest Valentine, little Emma. 
I haven't posted a picture of my 
growing up all too fast granddaughter in a while. 
She's almost walking at nine months!

Over the past year... 
I've been adapting my art to 
the painted needle point canvas.  
In celebration of today...
here are a few of the Valentine pieces 
that have made the transition so far.

The gals at Bedecked and Beadazzled

caller/emailer/private message via FaceBook
