FINALLY

I finally finished the 4 postcards I had created a week or so ago. I did go out of town for a few days and since I have been back haven't really felt up to par. Been dragging with little energy.
Anyway here are the lastest 4 cards, The one with the milk and cookies I titled MILK and COOKIES. The one with the cats is titled FAMILY PORTRAIT and the cats at the house is THE IN-LAWS. The butterfly one has no title as yet.
Enjoy!!

March 15

The pull to be outside and working in the yard is strong. I have been doing some major yard cleaning and even moved a bunch of windows that I had in one flowerbed for a few years. So I now can use the bed, even put a few decorative touches in it already. I still need to turn the soil, but that will have to be another day.

I did however, finish up a couple of postcards and another ACEO which I immediately took to Donkey to freshen up the postcard board. I remembered to take a picture of them first though. Yesterday I designed a couple more, that photo will be taken after I completely finish them. I am almost out of fusable web, need to trek down to Pomeroy tomorrow to pick some up. I need to recycle and pay property taxes while there too.

March 13

It has been a few days since I have written. I finished a few more postcards and another ACEO, forgot to take pictures of them before taking them to Donkey to hang with my show. I did mention I had my show up again, didn't I?
Anyway I finished 2 new ACEO's yesterday and put them in my etsy shop. They are part of my Alley Cat series. That will go on for as long as I have more of this cool fence fabric.

I went thrifting last week and found some cool items of clothing to cut up. I really need to organize all the new pieces I have to work with soon. My studio is getting very cluttered again. It is getting warmer out so I should be able to bring my sewing machine and ironing board back into my studio too. However, I am an outside person and with it being nice out I have already spent hours cleaning up the yard and making plans for the gardens. It will be a struggle to stay in and do my creating with fabric instead of with the yard.

TODAY IS MY BIRTHDAY

Today I am 55 years old. I can get senior discounts now LOL!!

I took down my quilt show on Saturday morning, while still in town I showed a few people my quilts who hadn't seen them and actually sold a couple of the little items. Yesterday at the restaurant where I work Chris(the owner of the coffee shop) came by to ask if I would put them back up. The guy who was scheduled to hang his art for this month is indisposed right now and can't hang it obviously. So today along with all the partying I had planned I will be rehanging my quilts!! Should be interesting!! I only wish I could have some different ones finished so I can change some of them. Perhaps I will try to do that in the next week or so. I really don't know if I will have them up for the full 5 weeks again or just till the guy can do it, if he even can.

CLOSING PARTY

The closing party for my show went well on Monday night. The food that Marcie and I made was gobbled up and all the bottles of wine emptied! Sold several postcard quilts to boot. I enjoyed everyones company and I believe everyone else enjoyed themselves too. Marcie took pictures which I don't have to share just yet.

Yesterday I started listing on etsy again. I got 4 postcard quilts listed and have more to list over the next few days.

About Me

Name: Attack of the Vintage
Home:
About Me: Hi! I am a fiber artist tryig to work on my art everyday of 2007. With doing this I hope my art will evolve and I will learn many new techniques this coming year. My goal is to be able to make my living doing my fiber arts. I also make my own earrings when I have a need of a new pair. I am an avid brick collector and belong to International Brick Collectors Association. I try to attend at least one brick swap a year to share my bricks and to collect new ones from all over the country. I am currently working on a hugh brick walk and patio. Gardening is another love of mine, my yard is getting rather funky in my yard decorating. I go for the unusaul and people come out my way to see what I have added each year. Last summer was green beer bottles for the flower bed edging and bowling ball towers. I have no idea what I will be adding this coming summer.
