Quilting Type Project Coming Day By Day!

Just a tiny teaser about my latest project....

every day for the next few days will be small snippets of a new project that I finished today.  Slowly...but, surely the finished project will be revealed.

I kind of like it too!

Paper Doll Border!

 The studio is slowly coming together.  Today, my college roommate was visiting and she gave me a hand.  My paper doll collection has been growing....and growing.  I really had no idea this many precious little paper bodies were in the box.  

This morning all the little girls and boys became THE most adorable border on the planet!

There is only enough for one wall, but how incredibly delightful are these little peeps?  My initial desire was to make art from them one at a time...but, oh no, these guys and gals will hang in all their paper beauty glory as a wall border for a wee while.

Needle Work Banner Mash-Up!

Just finished this little needle work banner mash-up....(I have no better name).  Just pieced miscellaneous snippets of embroidered stuff and some of my own all merged together.  I think the term "mash-up" is quite appropriate in the description.

It all hangs from an old vintage knitting needle.

A little close up of the mash-up!

Food Truck Court!

Food Truck Court is happening!  Just down from my studio a few blocks is a new eating adventure in my fair city.  Today was my first day to give it whirl.  Guess what...it was edible awesome! For lunch I had:

one catfish taco

one spicy BBQ taco

from Rock-n-Tacos...the delightfully decorated taco stand below.

and I had nachos from the California Smothered Burrito!  Delish!

and my little friend had a turkey sandwich from Nater's...she said, "waaay better than your average turkey sandwich!"  Quite a compliment from a picky palate.

Beautiful day topped at mid-day with food truck yummies!

Signage!

Enough said.

Ghost Bike! Simplicity!

Today this beautiful ghost bike presented itself to me.  It was placed outside an art gallery.  The pure white bike with faux colorful butterflies attached here and there were fantastic!

Simplicity.

Blue Skies!

"I thank you God for this most amazing day, for the leaping greenly spirits of trees, and for the blue dream of sky and for everything which is natural, which is infinite, which is yes."
- e. e. cummings 

Driving down the road and this is what I see.
