While Lucy napped and my older girls created their own art projects, I created this. I could sit all day creating collages, it is one of my favorite things in the world to do especially while my kids were creating right next to me. I was spending time with them and feeding my creative soul...love it.
While I was on vacation in MI, I made this lace journal. In the latest issue of Somerset Life, I wrote an article about creating with only one bag of supplies. It is a great issue so you should check it out if you haven't. I followed the same premise, before I left on vacation I stuffed one gallon sized ziploc bag with some things I wanted to use. I have no clue what I am going to create, I just bring different things and let my imagination take over. Here are a few more photos of the journal.
Sorry I haven't been around much lately, but I have been so busy at work and with my kids. It seems like it is leaving less and less time to connect with all of you. Once school starts back up, I will be more on a schedule and back to blogging more frequently. My family and I headed to Northern Michigan to our cottage (in Houghton lake) over the 4th of July week. We had so much fun, going to Petoskey, Lake City and just having fun with family and close friends. I did squeeze in a little antique shopping and creating while my husband stayed late at the camp fire with our older kids and Lucy slept away. I had this old embroidery hoop laying around and I used vintage paper instead of fabric and embellished with lace and millinery flowers. I was going to list it in my Etsy shop (yes, I know I never list anything anymore) but I think I will hang it on the Christmas tree instead. Here are some photos of the fun and I will be back soon posting more of my creations soon.
