I am thinking. Why not make a room full of pattern and color. Like a quilt. Why not? It may be busy, but it will be interesting and fun to do. I will just look at the walls as a big blank canvas. Maybe I am a little wacky in the head, but lets go for it!
This is just a quick post to let you know I am still here. I have not been able to blog due to computer problems. I am still having a few problems but we are working on them. I have made good use of my time off line. I have been painting one of my rooms and will share that in the next post, but you will need a pair of sunglasses.LOL. I have decided after years of keeping it neutral that I am going to just go for it and surround myself with color like the pictures below. I am actually using the first picture as my inspiration. It was really hard to use that green on the ceiling, but I did it and I love it! to see more of this fabulous gypsy style visit Jeanne Boyol 
Those of you who have been reading my blog for awhile know how I love to give myself little challenges. Yesterday I thought to myself how tired I am of digging through the really ugly jewelry. This stuff is just plain ugly. 
I pull it all out on the table and told myself to make something or throw it away.
Waxed linen just happened to be in that same box and that was just perfect.
So I made a pouch out of the waxed linen and then began to embellish.
That little gold piece was an earring.
This is what I came up with. I would by no means call this a masterpiece, but I thought considering the junk it turned out pretty good. I'll wear it! The DH was not to crazy about it, but I never listen to him anyway.LOL. 
Have a great weekend!
The French Faeries are gathering, the guests are arriving and a sweet giveaway is planned. You will need to go here Kaerie Faerie to find out date and time
The tape was sitting on the table, so I picked up a piece and just started playing and this is what came out of my play time. I ended up making four sets of three. I have never seen anyone make these, so I did a search for paper tape roses. I found roses made of crepe paper and duck tape, but no paper tape. I am sure it has been done. I made them like you would ribbon roses, but better than ribbon because it sticks to itself, so it keeps it's shape. I then ended up giving them a wash of color. I needed this color for a project I am working on or I would have tried rolling them in glitter. 
It is raining and I am sitting here at the computer finding all kinds of cool things. I thought this was interesting and really pretty accurate
Read more...I was reading one of my favorite blogs and inspiration hit. I had to make a tussy mussy. It is funny how something will hit you and you know exactly how you will make it. I wanted to make it out of wire and Victorian in style. I will be making more of these. I can take everything out and add a little glass bottle and add fresh flowers or silk. I just love it!
I made the eggs last year.
I hope you all have a very Happy Easter! My Birthday is tomorrow also, so I am off to bake a cake for myself. I don't really need that cake, but I am going to make it anyway. My Mom always made it for me and I am just so hungry for it I can taste it. I found her recipe. Coconut Cake. This coconut cake is a little different. The coconut and sugar are cooked together and it makes a syrup, You drizzle this over the cake and it sinks in making the most moist cake you have ever tasted. My DH does not like coconut, but he does like this cake. I will post the recipe on my next post.
