Aliens have taken my brain cause the UFOs are leaving...

Day 164  Yes thats right for some reason the UFOs (UnFinished sewing Objects) in my house are disappearing, literally vanishing either out the door in donation boxes or actually *GASP* being completed....LOTS of clothing upcycling and redos going on here for back to school~the girls are on break from sports before school starts the end of this week so if I can convince them of some modeling shots I will but they are being all mulish and hoarding their 2 weeks of vacay time~who can blame them?  

So while the girls spend their days reading, designing fashions, painting, writing and doing LOTS of art I have been busy with several sewing jobs, cleaning out fabrics, dreaming up (and putting into action) projects and just generally having FUN!  I am in love with my chosen career path.....it is not always easy, it definitely has ups and downs BUT right now I am content.


Sokka got a little tired of Shark Week I think, this is how we found him Saturday afternoon , crazy cat

Vintage fabric from Hawaii, one side of a sleeping bag

More vintage Hawaiian fabric-this was originally a sleeping bag given to me as a kidlet and now used by my oldest as a blanket.

The assembly line of UFOs....

Crocheted squares that I found in a box of fabric I got on Freecycle...turned into a  rug.

Crocheted squares completed rug, this will look great after we finish pulling up the carpet and painting the downstairs floor!  Will definitely have to come up with more rug ideas!

Teeny ripped paper collage pieces of (surprise LOL) another Pokemon named Silglyph by G1

Some more ripped paper collage art by G1, yet another pokemon, named Honchkrow



We have been getting so much done I had time to lay in the grass~we rarely see grass in NM and this patch was just begging for me to lay in.....

The beautiful blue sky~the norm in NM~the view from the grass...

Trees taller than a shrub, another rarity where we live in NM.  Perfect place for dreaming don't you think?
Well gotta get back to the Creative Lair.....make sure to stop and smell the roses today okay?~ Then go out and create something will ya?!
