On The Deck~Plants & Pups

Cisco is not real happy about having to be tied up-his cable is 50 feet long so enjoys getting himself really super tangled up! He also likes to go on our walks too!

Tillie loves hanging on the deck laying on a deck chair cushion under the deck table!!!

Peppers & eggplant waiting to go to the OTHER garden! The lavender will stay here but i need more soil!

My Wittle Tiny Messy Room

WIP for Patrick's Fourth of JKuly Vintage Swap

On Moving & Cardboard Boxes & Living in Town

I cannot find my scissors, my rotary cutters, my pens, I cant find anything!! ugggggggg  how upsetting!!! I dug through the trailer a little today and found some more stuff but where i put my scissors is beyond me!!!! so I will have to take all the boxes out and look through them. and my next day off isn't until Sunday-I think I will also rebox a bunch of stuff-this pace is too small -i don't know how some of you do it with just a corner!!!!!!
I also need to find a way to store my fabric in this small space-I found room for 2 boxes but there are at least 3 more in the trailer. Any ideas?
On a good note-I am feeling well-at peace-I now have my dogs~Tille & Cisco with me in this little room:] Cisco and I took a 30 minute walk tonight-for being a farm dog and not being on a leash since he was a pup he was a perfect gentleman!!!
I cant believe how noisy is is in town-and this is a quiet neighborhood!!! music and trucks and motorcycles and kids and barking dogs OH MY~~~ might drive me to drink!
Be well my friends

life

in the last 2 weeks my life has been turned upside down. everything is now different and new-
I am ready to start over but scared-did I do the right thing? Should I go back? I don't know-I think I gave it my best shot-I tried to fix what couldn't be fixed for so long. Tried to change myself hoping it would fix itself.
I am sad,glad,depressed and happy all at the same time-I haven't really shed many tears-to me that means I know -in my heart-that I did the thing that was best for me.
Should I be ashamed for leaving? i think not-i was forced out by anger and resentment and addiction.
I have 2 very good friends that are standing beside me this whole way=without them I would not have been strong enough to do this-thanks M & T. For opening your homes and letting me interrupt your lives.
And thanks to my online friends who where also as encouraging especially C-you opened my eyes with your own experiences.
I am a survivor-a strong willed woman, and I am a little bit stronger every day
Thank you my friends for reading this rampage :]

Costume Jewlry

Got this at the rodeo too! Totally faux~ but I still liked it-for 10 bucks !! I should have gotten got this lady's number-she also sold me the glass pendants.  Its just a big fake ring --so fun :]

Glass Pendants

I seem to have been on a necklace kick!!! I bought these at a Rodeo-I loved the colors and the glitz-plus they were 3 for 12 bucks! I thought it was a deal! glass is interesting around your neck as it always feels cool!

Thanks Erin!!!

My New Anthem

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=22zB6Soc2Gk   

Some times life kicks you in the arse and says"What are you fighting it for? Change isn't a bad thing. Don't pass up any other opportunities for happiness".
Been fighting and fighting -all alone-took a friend to ask me why I was the only one trying to make things work.
So today I stand in limbo
Ever want to just run away?

WIP Madelynne~~ a Flower Fairy

Here is my newest doll Madelynne-she will be a flower fairy-but I have not decided on her clothing yet and her wings are still on the drawing board.. I am not sure if she will continue wearing the petals she has on or if I will make her entire costume of the batik she is resting on-more to come :}

For Lesley C.!! Curvy Doll Body

Hey Lesley~~are these the kinda curves you were looking for? This is one of Patty Culea's bodies! it is a 3 piece with a whole lotta darts.  It is in her last cook which is a compilation of all of her last books~very cool to have them all in one place!

Sorry for the not too stuffed bod--i ran outta stuffing!

3 New Heads with Colered Pencil

This 1st head is the first one I did with the Derwents on a wet face-she's a little comical-I um had a couple beers before I did her :}

t

This is the 2nd one I did with the Derwents-only wetted the pencil this time

And this last one was with my Prisma Pencils on wetted material

I will also say that I like these faces very much esp the last one-on this one I studied a new face painting manual by Sherry Goshon.  I used it on the 1st 2 as well but really studied and took my time on the 3rd-oh and no beers were involved either :]
Sorry about the shading too-for some reason I couldn't get a decent picture this evening!
Thanks so much ~especially Sherry & Donna-you both have made me so much better at faces!!!!!!!

My Mammy Doll

This is from a Pattern by Sweet Meadow Farm-I need to redo her eyes but letting her sit so I can think about it. I hope she doesn't offend anyone~~ I love these dolls and mean no disrespect!

Water Color Pencil Question

So today I went to Hobby Lobby to get a new set of water color pencils as my set was very cheap and they are very hard so it is difficult to get color on the fabric.  I was looking for a softer lead-i thought Hobby Lobby had many different kinds but what i discovered was only a couple different ones-the ones I could open and feel were very hard-the ones I couldn't were DeWerts and they are very expensive esp when i don't know how good they are. So can anyone recommend a nice softer set? If the DeWerts are good I will go back and but them-i have a coupon:] I was gonna check JoAnnes and Micheals too but would like to have an idea of what to look for!!
Thanks in advance gang!
Hugs!

Kitten & Anger Induced Insomnia

Here it is also 5 am and I haven't slept a wink-I am in a VERY bad mood.  And when I try to get some sleep my kittens wake up and Play a game Nellie-AKA The Cat Form Hell taught them-it's called the Kentucky Derby around the bed!!!! I even locked them out of the bedroom-they kept knocking!! Grrr Nellie~~ Stop giving them lessons :]
well maybe I can get some sleep tomorrow before I see the Chiro-she is finally back from maternity leave ~~ thanks goodness casue I am all outta wack and walking crooked!
I hope you all slept better than I
