should I be mad?

Beleive it or not this is the best cat ever! Her name it kady and she is my art companion. Normally she spends her days louning on my long abandoned desk next to my sewing table. Since she is abnormally fuzzy and warm and sweet I love having her with arm length for the occasional unplanned belly scratch (her! Not me!). Well...now she has decided to take up residence ON MY SCANNER!!!!!

Now don't get me wrong , I love this cat but all I can think when I see her there is that I can't believe she has parked her big butt ON MY SCANNER!!!! I suppoe this is all my fault. I do have 4 cats and I did let them take over the entire house. they walk on the counters, sleep in the clean laundry pile, scratch everthing all to hell, terrorize the dog (sorry I'm not a dog person but I threw that one in just for the heck of it) and tease the chickens! It did almost break up my marriage when a cute little black cat got dumped off on our doorstep. It was him or the cat! He announced (Needless to say I found a wounderful new home for little black kitty). But I just can't help it! I'm a sucker for a fuzzy belly and big purr, just not ON MY SCANNER!!!!

bleck!!!

This is the view of the sky from my house! Can you believe it? AND...it's only 2:oo in the afternoon! It's been like this for days and it is really starting to get to me!!!! It is dark and depressing and miserable! It's Maine for pete's sake! It's supposed to be crisp and clear and frosty! Now it's just dark and grey and humid. BLECK! BLECK! BLECK!!!!

New Ebay

I am so excited about the little book I have up on ebay right now I had to put a few pictures on. It is just a peanut of a book! I've always wanted to do and ATC's sized book and thought it would be a breeze! Well...Trying to scale down a fabric book to ATC size it not as easy as I though it was gong to be but it was so worth the effort. I love this little book, it is just a sweetheart!

Disaster Area

I have to confess! I love reading other peoples blogs! My favorate is when artists post pictures of their studios! I decided to get brave and take pictures of my great big mess. normally I try and keep the mess under control but I've been working on a comission peice and the fabric has literally been flying! looking at these pictures I now know its time to get working on some serious cleaning!!!

New Pictures Fom Ebay

Here are some pictures from my most recent ebay listings. The first one is a close up of a little quilt that I made. I had ordered soem silk ribbon for a special project and while i was waiting for it to arrive I cooked up this little one! It was so much fun! I love the colors! Recently I have been coaxed out of my sepia and brown shell and asked to do a book with lots of lavanders and pink and aqua. It has opened up my color pallet for good!These two pictures are a sampeling of my latest book. I got a bunch of hand dyed fabrics from downeast dyes here in Maine and have had the best time working with them. they really do the most wonderful job as a base fabric. its great because I can then layer my own hand dyed peices on top. These two pictures are my favorate!

Vintage Scraps and Rags

Well! I finally did it! I started a blog! Who knew I would actually get off my duff and do it??? Not me...Now just as soon as I can figure out how to make it pretty everything will be wonderful!
