Wow, it seems like I've been gone for a long time. I visited our daughter's family in Minnesota, helped her in her classroom with an art project (she teaches 3rd grade - we did plaster masks on our faces) and came home sick. Then it was Christmas with my parents and a couple siblings and off to Mexico for a family vacation, beach-side. How fun to ditch the winter gear, wear sandals and soak up the warm Mazatlan sun!
Now back to teaching, trying to get my online shop up and running and sewing doll clothes for our grand daughter. I finished that project this afternoon(without a pattern or measurements - I wonder how good my memory will be?), and called her to tell her the clothes are on the way to her house. She was so engrossed in telling me something or other about Cinderella and her cousins, that I don't think she ever caught on that I sent a present her way. She is three and cute as can be!
I am excited about creating a new 'batch' of gourd mini-clocks. I ordered the clock inserts tonight and hope to start cleaning the gourds and leveling the bottoms a bit so they stand without going bottoms up! I can't decide whether to stain or paint them, maybe I'll do some of each. I'm going to add some naturals, like long pine needles, twine, copper and leather lacing to some of them. I love gourds; I think they are beautiful little sculptures. I'll post some photos when I get one finished up.
I hope the new year is off to a wonderful start for you and yours!

Very cool. I'm sorry you got sick (I'm just now recovering from an illness myself), but it's great you could help out with an art project for the kids.

Happy New Year! Thanks for coming to visit! Can't wait to see your gourd creations! Lisa :)
Thanks for your words, they brightened up my day! I love what you do, it's so inspiring!! I used to be a pre school teacher and I love teaching and adore children, I always try to incorporate something of that side on me on my fashion. Thanks again for your kind words
:)
