Happy Birthday Paulette!!!

Today is my Kindred Sweetie's special day! Happy Birthday Paulette! Wishing you a fabulous day filled with joy and yummy treats! Paulette aka Beedeebabee of http://beedeebabee.blogspot.com/ and I met in 2007 while we were both selling crazy quilt goodies on ebay. Our lovely communication on ebay began the wonderful relationship we now have today. She instantly became my #1 Kindred Spirit to ever meet here in cyberspace. Thanks for being you, Paulette!


Also, she has recently been nominated on Etsy for her fabulous heart pin above. Yay Paulette! Her amazing works are always sweetly embellished and full of spectacular detail. Just click on the green "GO VOTE" button on Etsy and support my kindred sister stitcher here.


The "Make a Wish" Crazy Quilt pillow is my birthday present to her. The friendship and artistic creativity she continuously shares with me is a gift I will treasure always.

Paulette's ongoing talents still always amazes me and she shines her contagious inspiration in everything she does. You can visit her blog and see her magical imagination at work here. You won't be disappointed.

Happy Happy Birthday Paulette!

Big Kindred Hugs,
Lisa :)

New Stitched Goodies

Here are the latest hand stitched goodies I've been working on. I've created an art doll with lots of embroidery and a variety of ornies using altered fabric prints of my original paintings. You can find more on these stitched goodies now on etsy.

It's been awhile since I've shared a slideshow, so below are the photos of my creations. Enjoy!

This is the time of year when I enjoy stitching the most and I try to keep up with my creative to do list as much as possible. Time goes by so fast and it can be difficult to keep up, especially when you get inspired with new ideas out of nowhere. Sending you all *C*R*E*A*T*I*V*E* *V*I*B*E*S*! :)

Bitten

Over a year ago now, I was bitten by the Twilight Saga. I had read the books only after watching "Twilight" in the theater. I became instantly captured by the love story written by Stephenie Meyer.

I absolutely fell in love with Edward and Bella's story. The hubby surely knew this as well and he surprised me with a couple of the audiobooks last Christmas. Listening to the books this way made their story even more special for me. I sketched Edward on canvas around the same time last year and decided to paint him up just last night in honor of the movie "New Moon" coming out today. I made sure to paint him while I listened to "New Moon" on audiobook to help inspire me even more. You can tell from the photo above that I initially had other plans for how his hair should be.

As for now, Edward is still a work in progress. I also still plan to paint Bella as soon as possible too. You can tell from the photo below that Edward yearns for Bella to complete him as well.

Have a wonderful weekend! :)

Thanks so much for blessing me with your friendships and following me on this creative journey!
