Special Request

I had a special request from a very kind hearted lady who speaks hope and love to the lifes of terminally ill patients. Here is the 5 x 7 piece...

It is accompanied by a 2 1/2 X 3 1/2 piece that say's "remember".

My main computer that has the scanner attached is DOWN right now, and I have much trouble photographing my work.... thus the bluries... and the color is just not right...

I revisited the crazy quilt collage style for this and did enjoy doing the color and the embroidery... perhaps I haven't "moved on" completly!

Stitching....free style

I've been stitching on a traditional crazy quilt.

My stitching is not traditional.

The photo is just a 3" preview of it, when done it should be about 10" x 12 or 14".

I just put the pieces on and stitch them down, many raw edges like I do the collages,

but with the fancy fabrics this time. Just not fancy seam treatment.

I hope everyone is enjoying their weekend.

Wishing...

Remember when you were little and you were sick... and you got feeling better and wanted to go out and play... but you couldn't yet...

We are at that stage with Annie.

The floors are starting to be littered with doggie toys again and Annie gives a "let's play" plea.

She longs to go outside and run...

The next 2 weeks will be hard for her to understand why we are such sticks in the mud with her!

Wanderings...

I've been in a wandering [art] stage for months now;

tired of the little crazy quilt collages

but haven't found a new niche to settle into.

I don't try a lot of different art ideas

simply because that usually leads to buying new supplies...

experimenting...

...and moving on.

I’ve settled briefly on the penny rug style…

but not for long I think.

I made another necklace… I call it “Bohemian Nights”.

...a bit bored with it all.

Annie Update & Etc...

I told Miss Sleepy head that bloggers are inquiring on how she is doing....
Hey Annie... Wake UP!
Come On Pumpkin....sit up... you can do it.... that's it... one eye at a time...

There you are... up and awake and saying HI!

She is doing well, has not had any of the bad symptoms of excessive coughing or throwing up or etc, just sleepy sleepy sleepy... and that is good; because she has four more weeks of total rest to go.

I've been stitching while I sit with Annie...
