Ladies, Ladies, Please, Get a Grip...

It's only a Fairy Tale!

Once Upon a Time, I would have been flattered,

but really, enough is enough!

I assure you, I am not, Your Prince Charming!

 Don't you think by now,  that if the Tale were true,

that I would still look like this?

Don't take everything you read, literally.

Some Tales teach a lesson, and some...just don't!

Do you really think, if you find your Prince, that all your Dreams will come true?

Really?

 Well then, have I got a Draw Bridge to sell you!

It's at a bargain price, since you don't have to

slay a dragon.  Someone else took care of that for you.

Now if you'll excuse me, I have to catch a

Coach. I heard rumors that it looks just like a Pumpkin.

And they lived, Happily Ever After!

(Cough cough)

I must have a frog in my throat.

The End

Authors note:

The telling of this Tale was fictitious.

Any similarity to the Real Prince is

 purely coincidental.

I love Fairy tales.

And I'm not being  Grumpy!

In fact, it was meant to be fun.

Peter, said so!

Sweet Dreams

Want a Peek? To see what I got in the mail?

It's always exciting when you receive

packages in the mail, but I got 3.

The first package was this,

Marsha, at the Tattered Chick, had a heart swap,

well of course I joined in!

This heart and all the goods were sent to me from,

Sarah, of, My So Called Junky Life.

When you get a chance, go visit Sarah, she has 

a blog full of pretties!

Thanks so Much Sarah! I love it all.

The heart I made, went to Linda of the Queen Bee Cottage.

I used upholstery fabric from an old chair, and added vintage faux
pearls from an  old necklace.

And then I opened a package from,

Pam. You know Pam, at Yoborobo!

I have to admit, when I saw the package from Pam,

my first thought was, "uh oh", she's sending back a sculpt 

I'd sent to her, it must have broke.

But

Little Faye, popped out.

A Happy Valentine to me!

I've always loved the way Pam, stitches her little

dolly s, each one has their own unique charm.

And do you know that Pam, has written 2, children s books?

I bought one for my Grandson, for Christmas.

Many many thanks, Pam!

Now wait, I've got one more.

This book,

was sent to me from, Priti Lisa!

She sent it, just because.  

A Gift.

I"m  only into the first few chapters...up until the wee hours reading,

when I should have been dreaming.

 Wow what a great read!

Lisa, I can't thank you enough!

You know it's true, things happen in 3 s!

have a great day!

Finding the Perfect Shade of

 Envy!

This isn't a dark and heavy post about the word envy.

Even though the word conjures up menacing,

green Witches, or fire breathing Dragons!

But it is a quote that everyone recognizes,

and we'll get to envy at another time.

I'm looking for the perfect shade of green,

for 

this frog, that is in the first stages of sculpting.

I mentally start dressing with color in the second and third stages,

between sanding and polishing.  

Should be easy

peasy, right?

If the shades and tones aren't clean,

then you might end up with baby poop green,

or a dirty muddy green.

Which in my mind means, Alien.

Do you think Exorcist, with peas?

Or Peas Porridge Hot? 

Color association can make or break a piece of artwork.

If it doesn't look good on the plate then you probably won't eat it.

You'll notice I didn't show an avocado...ate it.

 And the pistachios too!

I'm opting for Granny Smith,

 

 since it's the apple of my eye!

Hand Made Valentines

Finished a Valentine. 

 Everything I used was old or vintage, except the

German Glass Glitter.

Over time the glitter will tarnish and will have an aged patina.

Now I'm going to add a little sparkle to this,

I still like making Hand Made Valentines.

Off to add a little color to my curly locks.

Have a great weekend.

Feeling Blue?

Well I'm not! 

I know it's the time of year, when the Winter Blues set in.

But...Blue Skies, nothin' but blue Skies!!! 

I don't know why that the word Blue, gets a bad wrap!

Especially when it's one of the most popular, 

shade of color in the World.

The Sky,

The Water!

The egg that a Robin Bird lays!

Our Lady!

Blue Suede Shoes!

Once in a Blue Moon!

Take a look, at what makes you Blue!

A great Big...Smile!!!!!!!

Just Imagine!!!

Inspiration...

Where do you find inspiration? 

I thought I was dead in the water...(wish I had a dead fish to show ya), 

couldn't seem to find

my momentum to create.  It's probably like, how writers feel

when they have writers block.

I felt like the pull of the planets were fighting with the tides.

I was giving up, today.

As I stepped through the door of my work space, I turned and glanced

back at all my stuff, and cursed myself!

Inspiration was everywhere...and I mean everywhere!

I didn't have to sculpt, or paint.

I didn't even have to clean up to find my space.

Inspiration was jumping out at me.

So...

here we go!

 texture with textiles! 

 vintage memories!

How could I not find inspiration here?

I'm an idiot sometimes! 

It's as big as the nose on my face!

Not seeing the forest...

you get where I'm going!

Everywhere you look, there's inspiration.

The Sun, the Moon, the Stars!

The smell of fresh brewed coffee, 

fried chicken,

speaking of which,

I did sculpt these!

Chicken feet!

Which lead me to another inspiration today.

I made Chicken Soup!

What inspired you today?

Be well

There's a New Moon!

But you can see this one!

 

I've listed him in my Etsy Shop,

Please forgive the photo shots, I"m having the darnedest

time with my camera.  I have to take a 100 shots to get a few good ones. No Skills!

Still looking for a new one,

and I admit, I'm picky!

But if I'm going to shell out the green stuff, I'm going 

to make sure I get my moneys worth!!!!!

I've been so busy, doing nothing!

Yep, that takes up time!

Nothing, means, organizing, cleaning, washing, 

vacuuming, painting, cutting wood, and,

now this one is important...looking in the mirror and 

saying, " mirror mirror on the wall, where in the hell did that wrinkle come from"!!!!

Hopefully, on this night of the New Moon, 

I'm going to catch up on the blogs of friends who always, always,

stop by to see me.

Just know that I truly appreciate you all!!

I have a lot to be grateful for, Thank you!

 and be Well!
