I Am Blessed

I am very blessed, and feeling a bit spoiled I might add! Check out my treasures from Trudy at Bitsofwool.
I was the lucky winner during OWOH. A gal after my heart-five of them to be exact! So prim and perfect with rusty bells and star and floral material. Everything fits perfectly in my home.
This is my blessed stitchery which I have on the mantle right now so I can see it everyday. This is doubly special to me as I am an angel keeper and I have many angels, but none like this. AND I can sip a steaming cup of orange & spice tea while I admire it. I love it! Thank you Trudy!

All The Way From England....!

Yay! Lucky Me! I was the winner of this beautiful pendant necklace from Jan at Beadyjan's
during OWOH. She makes some amazing jewelry, among other things! Sorry about my pics. My lighting never seems to be quite right. The pendant is in earth tones and it just shimmers with gold! The spiral rope is hand beaded. This piece is out of this world and I will so enjoy wearing it! Thank you Jan :]





This is the lovely hand made card that my necklace came in. Such a treat to open!

Little Star Weaver doll

Twinkle Twinkle Little star who put you in the sky so far?
I think it was a little angel with moonlit hair and big blue eyes who scattered you across the skies.

Madame Butterfly Mixed Media Doll

I have had an absolute blast creating this dollie! She is the first completed doll from JoAnna's doll workshop at Moss Hill Studio. Fun, fun fun! and I embellished her with lots of goodies...vintage lace, painted rusty hearts and painted flowers...Part of the fun is looking for the goodies to adorn her with. I went to some local antique shops for some great finds.
And I knew once she had the sparkley butterfly on her head she was done!

And The Winner Is.......

Stephanie from luluscottage!
Congratulations Stephanie, Annabelle is coming to California! I want to thank everyone that participated! This was my first year joining in OWOH and it was great fun. I met loads of new friends and I can't wait to go back and visit more.

Time for a little fun!

I got Some Special Bling today!

I received a special package in the mail today! This is what I found inside. Everything was a work of art right down to the envelope which was a piece of ledger paper that had been stitched and covered in lace and pink yarn and a rose on top! And look at those birdies! Inside that special envelope was...
This! Ahhh, isn't it lovely? I know my pictures don't even come close to showing it's beauty, but I know a place where you can go and see similar ones and lots of other lovelies too! I've met so many wonderful people during OWOH and one of those people is Kecia from Lemoncholy's Studio. Her creations are stunning, vintagey, and wildly romantic! We decided to do an exchange- A doll for a necklace. So I made....
A cloth dollie. I called her Ke (just briefly) but really was waiting for her new owner to give her a name.
My son really wanted to try it on, but I was kinda reluctant to take it off. I did relent once for him to try it on and then to take a couple of pics. I love it-I do. Thank you Kecia!
