I want to stitch

I'm working on swaps from www.atcsforall.com. Love this site-I get to create little bits of art that goes to good homes.And I get mail back! Inspiring bits of other artists-all for the cost of postage. This is the way to build an "art collection".
At the moment, and due in Germany June 1st, are mini ATC's. 2 1/2 x 1 1/2 inches of art. And I think, I want to stitch-pretty ribbon flowers, french knot posies and maybe some beads......
I'll post pics as soon as they are done-but in the meantime,the photo above are the ATC envelopes I made for another swap. If you've ever taken a class of mine, you already know I have a "thing" for envelopes. This swap just reinforced it. (sorry its a bit blurry-not a great photographer at 2am...)

My Blog Title Photo

I LOVE this photo of Cosmo. Actually made me cry when it came up on my computer screen the first time. This beautiful picture was taken last fall, by my talented friend, Daniela Sitar, and you can check out more of her work at www.danielasitarphotography.ca . An incredible baby and family photographer, she was up to the challenge of my less than always cooperative beastie. My CD of images is in colour and black & white, and I am even loving the pictures that include me! Thanks again Daniela for capturing the spirit of my "puppy love".

I have succumbed...

to the blog-side. Never thought I'd get this far, but hey, been hooked on facecrack, why not add to the addiction that doesn't destroy my skin or make me gain / lose weight. Time however, hopefully will be well spent.
