It's a Post Stitch Gathering Blend Fabrics Competition!
It has been a long while since I posted, and I apologize...
Basically I was derailed last year, and it
took me quite some time to come out of my funk. But I am back,
and embracing the only thing that I have to offer the world, which
is myself and my art. BUT...enough about me, and my boring self.
ON TO THE IMPORTANT STUFF!

I'm happy to say that I finally got my act
together and listed Christmas ornaments

YEAH... ME!!!
I have been meaning to do it for 4 years,
but I just couldn't figure out how to do it while
doing shows. It was hard to keep on top of inventory.

i was meandering around the internet
this morning and i stumbled upon a free painting
tutorial by the talented diane culhane,
it discusses the notion of positive and
negative space, which i like to think of as the
stuff that holds something in place.
diane is a master of this technique, so don't miss
this little gem. it is such a cool way to think
about painting...and ~corihttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07013695844505870925noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6269595546970721320.post-27209773732730508582015-05-01T09:09:00.002-07:002015-05-01T09:15:32.315-07:00FREE QUILT PATTERNS!

I am suppose to be designing my banner for

this original painting! As you can see I am feeling
uninspired, and am trying to find anything

so i finally got this into the shop!

a real desire to not do what i am suppose
to be doing).

when i was seven i was going to run away.
i packed a hobo bag (you know...
a hanky filled up with the
stuff i thought i needed, tied onto a stick).
i put my bonnet on (yes my bonnet),
threw that hobo stick over my shoulder
and was heading out the door when my
mom asked, "where are you going?"
"i am running away from home" i said
i was so certain this was a good idea...

ages ago i was asked to contribute to an ETSY success
