Lovely Clusters Catalog and a Tutorial

Rachel Follett of Lovely Clusters has released her spring catalog: it is delicious to say the very least!  The colors are incredible and it's very easy to navigate.  Most links are to Etsy items, which I love.

I ADORE Ashley Ann's bedroom!  I have it on my Pinterest, too.  Here's a great idea for a backdrop.  I'm very in to making a whole "scape" for your collections!

Great Blog to Visit

This is my daughter Erin's blog.  I can't tell you how thrilled I am to be able to share this crafty blogging thing with her.  The creative streak runs strong in our family...in my other 2 daughters, too!

My Loves!!

I'm back to my blog, trying to get going agiain.  (there are lots of "g"s in that sentence)  :-)  So many roadblocks and dead ends these past couple of years.  I'm trying to get back on my creative feet again.  I think I have Rheumatoid Arthritis and that is a very sad thing for an artist.  I will know more in the coming weeks.  But my hands are starting to twist.

I'm making singed flowers right now.  Seems I never have a good photo set up but I'll work on it.
