ice cream soda using liquid fabric and liquid glass

Close up this is so cool. The top looks like real whip cream and the glass is glossy like real glass.. awesome technique, I am in love with the stuff

Neighborhood crop

Some nieghbors and I have been getting to together and having crops... See the new photos and look for Roberta, Diana, Sheetal and Manuela.. also add Karla( I need a picture of ) They have come over a couple of times and Roberta and I have been teaching the others how to make cards, It's been great fun...

Last week my great christian friend Tammy Michael, from West Virigina joined us..I was awesome. I hadn't seen Tammy in a long time and she is a demonstrator for Close to My Heart scrapbooking /card making/clear stamps, etc. She came mainly to scrap... We learned a few new things from her. She worked closely with Manuela and Tammy taught us about liquid fabric and liquid glass... Great stuff! See my samples . We started at 3pm and ended at 9:15pm.. We lost track of time...

I am looking forward to more time with the neighbors... on April 24th we are having out annual earth day clean up... I will be doing crafts, we have been painting flower pots for the last couple of years It is a great hit... We will do it again this year.

recent cards

This is a baby card for my new great niece due in July.( maybe a birthday present for me.. July 19th)

I love the technique using liquid fabric to make the wool on the sheep... this is awesome...

well I thought is was a good idea to set a resolution or two for the new year I was wrong... I not only didn't exercise I also didn't update this blog.. But I am back!

Dad's Short Fish tales

In dec 2008, Mom sent me Dad's boxer shorts, for christmas 2009 I made a lap quilt and entitled it Dad's Short Fish Tales. Of course I as in a rush to get it sent to Mom that I forgot to get a picture of the finished quilt.

MOM send me a picture!

I also made a walling hanging of one Fish each for my brothers and sisters ( the nieces and nephews are in production)

The back lable reads;

Dad's Short Fish Tales

He didn't tell me how to live, He lived and let me watch.
