paint-n-thread: Art from Afar
http://paintnthread.blogspot.com/2011/05/art-from-afar.html
I paint it or sew it. All for the love of creativity. Monday, May 2, 2011. From the far reaches of the world to my wee mailbox came another piece of art. . My latest ATC to arrive came from Margaret Hetebry in West Australia. Is that like West Texas? 160; She did mention they are still in winter where she is and it has been very cold here the last couple of days….I think that makes us alike. This card was all embroidered and rich in beautiful texture. Yum. . 160; Should I even count them? Simple templ...

paint-n-thread: Wallflowers
http://paintnthread.blogspot.com/2011/01/wallflowers.html
I paint it or sew it. All for the love of creativity. Wednesday, January 26, 2011. The paint has been flying again and the flowers were grown onto the wall. I just freehanded the vines and blooms onto the wall to mimic the window fabrics. . The opposite end of the wall has a balance flower a bit higher on the wall. I like it and when the art is hung up, I think it will all blend in quite well. I just haven’t decided which art to go with. . Have a most terrific day/night! Technorati Tags: guest room.

paint-n-thread: Upcycling
http://paintnthread.blogspot.com/2011/04/upcycling.html
I paint it or sew it. All for the love of creativity. Saturday, April 16, 2011. Ok everyone.it was midnight and the creative bug attacked me. I had no defenses and had to succumb. Why, oh why didn't I go to bed earlier? The trek to the fabric stash uncovered an old dirndl skirt from the 60's/70's. It was quite a classic to be sure and made of upholstery fabric! That is until I got to the back of the chair back. hmmmm, my mind was whirling with ideas.or was I numb from lack of sleep? I also had finished p...

I paint it or sew it. All for the love of creativity. Monday, November 22, 2010. I’ve been absent again from my own blog and I have been missing y’all. This week I’m sending out Thanks to all my followers, friends and lurkers. Time for reflection and appreciation for all the gifts our LORD has given us and the opportunity to pursue them. I hope to be caught up from doing this…. Then I am loving this window treatment…. 160; hint, hint. . Everyone…Have a Terrific Turkey Day and get Stuffed! View my comp...

paint-n-thread: February 2011
http://paintnthread.blogspot.com/2011_02_01_archive.html
I paint it or sew it. All for the love of creativity. Tuesday, February 22, 2011. Love in the P O box. Howdy I have been busy, busy. The sweat shop closed temporarily so the jewelry shop could open. You DO understand this involves clearing my work table from one crisis and preparing for the next disaster. I never seem to work neatly and must have all my inspiration scattered about. I posted the jewelry that I and my BFF, Heather. Put together over on Sassy Tumbleweed. Isn’t the couple so sweet? Click...

paint-n-thread: April 2011
http://paintnthread.blogspot.com/2011_04_01_archive.html
I paint it or sew it. All for the love of creativity. Wednesday, April 27, 2011. You MUST jump over to INK STAINS. The studio is coming along nicely. The ceiling is ripped out to the rafters. It is pretty clean and I am getting ready for a big sale on May 7. I’ve paused the construction so I can start digging out goodies and pricing. I am sharing a couple of ladies doing what I would prefer to be doing myself…just enjoying the beautiful outdoors without a care in the world! Links to this post. It is a...

paint-n-thread: Upcycled ARt
http://paintnthread.blogspot.com/2011/06/upcycled-art.html
I paint it or sew it. All for the love of creativity. Friday, June 3, 2011. I also used many of my vintage patriotic images to embellish a banner. I didn’t prefer the basic banner colors that I had on hand, so let the layering begin…Gesso, book pages and vintage images produced a much preferred look. I am still debating on further embellishment of some ruffled crepe or lace for rosettes and trim. I’m glad you dropped by for a chit chat. June 3, 2011 at 2:28 PM. June 14, 2011 at 11:29 AM.

paint-n-thread: Easter ATC’s
http://paintnthread.blogspot.com/2011/04/easter-atcs.html
I paint it or sew it. All for the love of creativity. Thursday, April 21, 2011. I uncovered more goodies from the mailbox. Woot Woot. These three ATC’s were traded through Christian Paper Artists Group. Each one is so unique and perfect for this special holiday. The cards I created were duplicates of some vintage post cards I have and I reduced them for the ATC’s. These chicks and eggs just represent new beginnings and rebirth. I just love the graphics on old ads and postcards. 160; Oh well. View my...

http://paintnthread.blogspot.com/2011/04/spring-atcs.html
I paint it or sew it. All for the love of creativity. Wednesday, April 20, 2011. It is a summery kind of Christmas when you get this kind of goodness in the mailbox. The Spring ATC swap I joined at The Art of Altering. Is a swap with 3 other people. My first exchange has arrived and what a fun surprise to unwrap this card from a LOT of fringy yarn. After all the reveal, here is this adorable bird and nest from Dawn Burrows. 160; Hop on over to her blog to check out her awesome creativity. Enjoy these s...
