Back from the trip!

Hello every one hope this post finds you all well!
We came back from our trip to California and boy..is it cold in Idaho..lol.
The part of cali that we visited was very dry and I did not take a lot of pictures there. On the trip itself on the other hand I got to take a lot of pictures and would like to share some of them with you. Some were taken from the car while driving, so you will see the rail..lol.
Please fell free to download them if there is anything you like and could use. Would love to see the end product!
Hug,
Andrea.

Yippeeee!!!!!

Hello my friends hope this post finds you all well!
The "yipppeee" refers to my new camera!!!Yahoo! I have one all to my self now..hehehee...
And its Purple..no..not purple...but PURPLE..lol...has the coolest features ever( ones I have found out how to work them..lol). This mean I can post again...lol. I know some of you post without pictures and you do such an awesome job in making it interesting without pics...me..well not that talented. Well I guess this is a post without pics..lmao...
Hubby and I are leaving Friday for California...San Diego...to visit our son who is stationed in the Navy there. We will be gone for 10 days...both of us need a break from this years challenges.
I wanted to write to you my friends that I have not forgotten about you. Will use my trip to learn how the camera works and be running fully loaded when we are back. I see this trip as an end too all the trouble we went thru here this year and a new start to my art. We will come back refreshed..loaded with pics..and inspiration.
Till then my dear friends...talk to you soon!!!
Big Hug...

From one thing into the other.....

My dear friends, I really hope this post finds you all sound and well!!
It is true its been going from one thing into the other, like a never ending story!
Every time we think we have solved one problem the next shows up. Have not forgotten about the blog or you my friends. Just have not been able to get to it.
Now its clearing up here ( for now ..lol), my camera is refusing to totally do anything..
With totally..I mean its dead...deceased, kaputt...!!
The saddest part if all is , that I have been creating some things and wanted to post them. Yeah right...soooo not happening today or tomorrow since I do not have money to buy a new one.
There is the option of lending a camera and I think that's the route I will proceed in for now.
Wanted to let all you wonderful people know that I have not forgotten or were giving up...just..well I just hope you all understand.
Will be back with pics soon!
Love you all and thanks for all you support!!!
Andrea.

Quick note!!

Hi there everybody! Hope you are doing well!!
Things are looking up around here. I do apologize for not visiting blogs and looking at all your wonderful creations. We are back online now and fixing the house as we speak. Siding and roof in two weeks..lol..(not done yet). Then I will be able to get to work in the studio again and visit all of you wonderful people again. Two more weeks and I'll BE BACK!!! Yahoo!!!
Love you all...big hug,
Andrea.

please hang in there....

My dear people...due to a lot ( did I say a lot?) of emergencies and personal things going on here, I have not been blogging or even had the possibility to blog . Weather ( hail as big as dollars) has shredded almost everything in the garden and caused the roof to leak at 4 places. In between some kind of flu and pc problems and awful rainy weather, I have not been able to create a lot....well almost nothing...pfff. So please give me another week to get my "stuff" together and I will be back for sure...don't give up on me...ok ? I posted some more Yellowstone pics for you, hope you enjoy them!
I wishing you all a great and wonderful day and hope to talk to you all soon!!
Hug,
Andrea.

Got it together....

Good morning folks...how are today??
Hope you are all doing great!
First of all, thank you for your comments and support guys! They just make my day!!
So here it is...finished up to the hanging part..lol. Decided not to embellish the inchies, thought it would be overkill on this one. Friday I am going out to a friends house where they have lots of wood and find a nice branch. ( no not to hang myself..duh) To hang this project on of course..lol. Think I will give it two loops and attach it that way to the wood.


The next pic is something I started on last night. Have no idea what's up with blue and purple and the camera not really knowing what to do with it! So the colors are way off its is a bit darker and much more vibrant...
The picture I got from Dover...they send you email every now and then with free downloads. I blew it up and traced it on tracing paper. Then put it on some of my hand dyed fabric with dritz tracing underneath it. Traced the whole thing to my liking and started free motion it. I did not want it to look like one of those machine embroidered designs, so I did it with a small free motion zigzag. This gives it a more lace effect. When finished it will get some strait free motion edges around the design to define it a bit more.



Will try to get it pictured better next time....
Well of to the studio to do some more work! Hope you are all having a wonderful day!
Wishing everyone lots and lots of creativity!!!!
XO Andrea.
