In between the nasty sinus infections (of which I'm miserable today with), I have been working on some projects. I did spend a little time reflecting on the past year and realizing that I have been evolving, working it out to find my own in this world of creating. I love the mix of textures and little bits of colors with vintage bits/bobs. I recently read about doing a word for the year and maybe this will continue to be 'my' word. I have too much I want to do artistic and family related so time will tell. In the meantime, it's nice to just live, day by day, see the past 7 yrs were mind trapped with having a child and then a house. Working off of a daily list be it cleaning, food, or recipes, its simple and soothing after all those years of stress. Being Open to the next thing that comes along--isn't that what its all about?
Enjoy these new sweets:
This wall or door hanging is my most recent:
A Thank You card that was just bursting to be put together, I just love how this came out. I don't make many cards (actually I think this is my 3rd one ever!):
This collage sentiment and my favorite elements all mixed together. I was experimenting with some items from the scrapbook world -transfers:
A sweet bird collage box with her own vintage eggs (buttons and bling!):
Inside of the box for little trinkets and keepsake items:
If you are interested let me know! I will upload to Etsy for purchase.
I was on a roll the week and half I was off and still have more pictures to upload.
Hope your Sunday is going well.
Off to make a favorite, Apricot and Lemon Chicken with rice and carrots. Simple and yummy.
Till next time,
Hi Kris!
ReplyDeleteHappy New Year to you too!
So glad you popped by for a visit my dear! We already have snow here and I am sick of it! Our house is now on the market and I can't wait until it sells so we can move back to my homestate of North Carolina on the coast. More snow is on the way too so I am really in a hurry to move! Keep you new UGGS on...they will keep your feet warm and toasty! I wear mine every day :)
I hop eyou have a wonderful week!

Kris, I've had to post holiday blues a little too, and it's been hard to get back into the swing of things.
ReplyDeleteAbout the curtains...I had ordered a lovely pair of linen curtains from a little boutique here, and when they were backordered forever I cancelled the order. Happily, I found perfectly good linen curtains for a mere $14 (!) at Ikea of all places, and pretty lace sheers to go along with them as well. (can't remember the price of the sheers..but they were cheap) I love them and was so happy with that as the ones I had ordered were uh, considerably more than $14. LOL
I love your newest creations! So sweet. Can't wait to see what else you have up your sleeve.
I also was thinking that this is the year we should get together! :)
Cerri xoxo
Kris,
ReplyDelete"Evolve" is an excellent word for the new year. I read about using a word for the year. I'm thinking of what word would suit me best, too.
I absolutely love your creations. I really like the thank you card you made. One day, you'll have to do a tutorial on how you get the ribbon to look like that! How clever.
If you sell the thank you card, please let me know. I love it!
ReplyDeleteHi Kris! I know what you mean about being in the dumps after the holidays. I despise January and February! Both months just drag on and on and on. To get out of my funk, I dragged out my Valentine craft box and finished two projects, one involving a window and another a door knob. By-the-way, your cards are so pretty! I love all of the details.
ReplyDeleteHugs,
Kelly
Hi Kris!! I hope that you're feeling better soon!! I love your new projects and I'd love to purchase the bird box from you! Let me know if she's still for sale :) Take care! *Hugs*
