christmas cards...

EVERY year or MOST every year, i make my Christmas cards..

it's fun.. AND i enjoy the personal touch that it adds.

i'd LOVE to receive handmade ANYthing, sOo.. why not give handmade, right?

;)

anyway..  i've been told by people for years that i should *publish* a line of handmade greeting cards..

o_O

honestly, the idea intimidates me as well as makes me mentally constipated..

i can't think of a good idea to save my life!

not good.

but, i've been doodlin' a lil' bit here & there and i thought i'd share a quick lil' doodle with you..

another lil' birdie..  ;)
should i color my doodles??
i sure could use some input..
*sigh*

i'd love some feedback.. should i make greeting cards???

leave me a comment..  let. me. knowwwww..   <3

Q is for..

quilting!!  ^.^

do i suddenly become an old lady if i have an interest in such unique works of art? one of my friends thinks so.. o_O

i BEG to differ!

i find quilting to be VERY intriguing!

not just anybody can turn a picture into a blanket..  or.. a blanket into a picture.. *heh heh*

& that's what this girl is doin'... and doin' quite well, i might add.. ;)

they aren't all that special.. i just like to doodle. a LOT.

4 lil' birdie friends

i feed birdies on my fire escape.. maybe that's what makes me draw them so much.. i enjoy watching them enjoy tiny nibbles & fight due to mere greed. lol..

they're fun. :)

makin' stuff..

yea.. sO.. i finaLLy finished one of the projects that's been looming over my head.. with a bit of disappointment..

tosha, please make a note to yourself.. YOU GET what you PAY for..

ugh. i bought a cheap-O serger..

what can i say?? i'm a thrifty woman!! ^_^

i'm not ashamed to admit it until i buy sumthin' that turns out to be cruddy crap.

& so.. yea.. last night, at 11:30ish.. i'm trying to serge the garments and the thing is goin' at a rate of about three inches per minute.. sux.

seriously.

sO.. i had to use pinking shears. (not my fav).. i'm rambling.

anyway.. i have one more outfit to complete, then off i go to do sumthin' fun for meself & my lil' princess Noah.. i think she'd LOVE to have a homemade mommy sumthin..

but, need i 4get that my lil' modpodge goodie is sittin' in the corner weeping it's eyeballs out 'cuz it doesn't have a home NOR stockings to wear.. still rambling.

i'm gettin' sumwhere, just not sure you'll ever figure it out.. sometimes, it's pretty obvious that my posts are outlets for me to de-JUNK my noggin..

anyway.
