Christmas Wallart - Horn Painting

Reblogged from Quilting, FiberArt & Painting:

This simple painting was done using blendable art pencils and IRL looks like the metal the instrument truly is.  I love drawing and painting and always have paper with me for writing but sometimes bring a sketchbook as well.  Colored pencils, the artist grade, can give some pretty great results in  the finished drawing.

I love decorating my home big time for Christmas and take down some of my other accessories replacing them with Christmas related ones.

Shall I turn away chasing after
The Gods of this world not
Accepting that I am but a vessel
Whom His hand has used for his
Delight?

Or shall i speak out to those who find

The Thankful Project

Reblogged from Caddo Veil:

(I'm re-running this for the benefit of those who may have missed it--it's not too late to join in!!)

Ben, our good brother and teacher at Another Red Letter Day, challenged us to join the Thankful Project--and bless his heart, he did not put a "due date" on it, so don't feel pressured!  Just let your mind and heart go deep--and soar.

New Recipe - Lentil Soup, vegetarian style...

Reblogged from Mary's Blog:

Mom was looking at Progresso soups on Sunday.  She said she wanted to buy their Lentil soup but it had like a trillion mg of sodium in it.  I told her I bet I could make some with the lentils we had and some veggie broth (which I happened to have too!)

So, at lunchtime, I put this together...in fewer than 30 minutes!

The link to this recipe was just added to my Recipe Page here on this blog. Check it out, my friend's an amazing cook and baker, but lives too far away for me to "show up with fork in hand." Sigh.

Have A Heart Quilted Wall Hanging

Reblogged from Quilting, FiberArt & Painting:

Here is a secret!  Shhhh!  Don't tell!  If you want your fabric stash to increase, just let people know you love fabric and sewing or quilting!  See, I have a great stash and much of it cost me pennies or nothing at all.  I find big bags of fabric at thrift shops, and scrap bags of high-end quilt fabric at quilt shops, and people who are downsizing their stash say "I have some fabric .

So, you probably are familiar with table runners, right?  I love them and love making them, designing them and so forth.  I have made lots and change them out on my diningroom table all the time.  I've donated them to charity auctions, given them as gifts, and before the economy tanked I sold a lot of them.  So, what was I to do with all these design ideas coming to mind?
