Division Street

These are some shops on Division. I love the name of the vintage shop LIVED IN LOVER. :D And the sign is great! And that bar looks fun.

This Rain

This rain is great for putting me into the sewing/crafty mood. Just like some people wanna curl up with a book on days like this, I get all itchy for thread. I mean, I love books, too, but my free time is limited and I'd rather sew. Also this gray is great for the early Halloween spirit. I am thinking of making.... well, actually I don't wanna jinx myself! I'll just do it :D

These photos are of two yard sale books and my daughter's painting.

Collages I found

These are some of the collages I found that I made over a year ago. The bunny boy is the only one I used some scrapbook paper for. I need to think of a way to bring these to life in plush form, but keeping their scrappiness and dirtiness. Hmm?

Pillow Find

The day before yesterday I was looking through my fabric to sew something up and I found this applique I must have made a couple of months ago!! I was thinking when in the hell did I make this?! I still can't exactly remember when, :D So I finished it up as a pillow. I think the colors are fun and bright. It is made mainly with new fabric.
Then yesterday I went into the basement looking through my unpacked boxes for some sort of crate or wooden box I could use in a display and I ended up finding older art stuff. It was great to rediscover stuff I made like collages, paintings on found wood bocks, doodles, et! It was a mini Christmas! :D I think I will post some of my earlier inspiration. Later. Later after my 3 cups of coffee.
And it's still cloudy and raining! :D It feels like Fall. I don't mind it at all, it's a nice change.
My daughter's first soccer practice tonight! :D It's her first ever sport! I am nervous, I hope she likes it, I hope she isn't too shy, blah blah. A mom can worry a whole bunch :D

New Junkus

Skulls, dollheads, voodoo....I must have been dropped on my head as a baby OR I had another life in New Orleans, hehe. Whatever the case these are my loves including Halloween, costumes, just all around good masked fun!
I have added a Happy Skull pillow to my shop as well as a Voodoo Boy and Girl. They aren't real, just my romantized take on voodoo.

Oh, have you ever heard of Skull A Day blog? You should know about it! :D

I added a link to the list.

Rain!!!

First, after these insanely hot days I am SOOOOOOOOOOOOOO thrilled that we have rain! And a cool breeze...ahhh. When you don't have central air you can't function :D

Also this is the squirrel I made for a customer request. I don't always take custom orders unless I have an idea for it because sometimes I just can't force myself to come up with anything. I did have fun making up a squirrel though because I doubt I would have attempted it on my own.

I have some new items to put up today, hopefully the cloudy day light won't give me too much trouble.

Sweet Paul
