I AM BACK HOME!

Hi Friends,

I AM BACK HOME!
We arrived last night.
I missed all of you!
I was missing my little Merlin so much that I couldn't wait to get him from boarding! That was the first thing I did this morning. When I saw him, he looked like an orphan. Poor baby! The tech said she gave him a bath yesterday but it wasn't a good one by my standards. :(
He was so happy to see me. His little tail was wagging up a storm! LOL
I brought him home, and gave him a really good bath! Now he smells so clean and sweet. :)
Wow, it is already November 6 th. How time flies. I can't believe we were gone for 32 days. :(
I had two boxes of mail delivered to me today. It was so much fun opening all the swap parcels. It was like Christmas! :)
It wasn't all fun though, some bills were waiting for me too. :(
I have a stack of magazines and catalogs to read too. Will save the catalogs for more recycled art! :)
On our trip we bought a home! We will be moving back to Florida possibly in December. Keeping fingers crossed that we sell our home here in AZ soon.
So now the fun begins of packing and getting the home ready to be sold.
We have done this many times, so we know the drill as they say! :)
Carla and Linda please email me privately!

Hugs !

LUGANO

Hi Friends,

How are all of you doing?

I am still on vacation but had to work on this Mini Sock Monster Swap for my online group Fiber Art Traders that will be due the first week in November. :)

I had fun making them and giving them names. Big or Little Monsters must have names you know. :)

My black and while monster I have named Lugano. The other one is Fork and his little buddy (doll) is Creepy. Creepy has only One Eye! LOL

Hope you like them and maybe you too, will make a few! :)

I AM AWAY

Hi Friends,

Carzy me forgot to leave a post when I left that, I would be away on vacation visiting my daughters in Florida. :(
I am still away and enjoying their company. :)

Keep well and I will try to post something soon.
Hugs,
Norma

PHOTO OF THE WEEK:MY FIRST KILLED CATALOG!

A while ago an online friend Vic , shared with us on CPS a new thing she had discovered online on Maggie Grey's blog. Maggie Grey is a wonderful artist in the U.K and she is the one that came up with this cool technique which she called "Killing Catalogs"or "Killed Catalogs" I won't go into the whole procedure that Maggie goes through but you can read all about it on her blog:

http://www.magstitch.blogspot.com/

Look on the sidebar for Killed Catalogs

A Killed Catalog is basically a catalog that you Kill by wetting it and then transforming it into a work of art. It is a great way to Recycle old catalogs that you receive in the mail and have no use for. But now you do! :)

My approach and result to her technique is very different. I always like to play around with things and make it My Own. :)

Hope you enjoy what I created from a simple discarded catalog!

October Letter E Quiltie

Here is my Quiltie for October from our ongoing Alphabet Quiltie Swap. This swap is from my group, Fabric In Altered Art 2.

For October we are up to Letter E. So my Letter E is for "Elephant".

While looking through my stash of fabrics, I came across some nice samples of woven upholstery fabrics that I didn't remember I had. :)

So I loved the colors on a specific one and used that one as my background fabric. I just love the colors on it. Reminds me so much of India.

I made a pattern for my elephant and had a doubt on what color I should make my elephant.

So I thought of brown but it wouldn't go well with the background fabric so I went with Gray.

I wanted to give him a 3D ear and did that too. :)

An elephant from India must have beads somewhere, so I gave him some . Right, Shashi? :)

Hope you like him as much as I do. :)
