The Ribboned Crown

Still Doing a Rain Dance (and a little bit of Art) !!

Roses and rain in my garden this morning.

On my last post I was dancing in the rain as Besty was showing a slight improvement. How about this? She's able to understand most everything, move her arms and legs and even mouth a few words. She "mouthed" to Laura, "How's school?" I know!!! It is beyond belief. So little by little her journey will continue and the hope is over the top!!! Joy!!

I was able to sneak away yesterday and make a few new things. And I gotta tell you, I'm kinda happy with them : )

I've been carrying these images around in my head for a while and it was so good to find the time to see if I could actually make what was just an idea.

Very fem!! And maybe French looking?

I'm hoping to grab a bit more time during the week to create again (boxes, etc,) but I'm working quite a bit so free time is a luxury these days. Plus, I'm so tired at night- irritating! (These will be available at American Harvest for purchase by the end of the week).

So, a good weekend, for sure!! Betsy, a little art, no complaints here. When it rains, it pours!

BETSY!

My heart is full of hope! Last night the doctor asked Betsy if she could "show him two fingers". Her right arm was laying across her chest and she lifted two of her fingers. Such joy after 2 months!! I'll post again in a few days but I had to let you all know. Thank you so, so much for your concern and prayers. I'm off to work but I want to dance in the rain- pure happiness right now!!

~Proving the Domino Theory~

Uh, yeah. One too many projects leading to another.

I was going to say, I have  "too many irons in the fire", but I couldn't find that photo of me in my blacksmith's attire so "domino theory" won out : )

Projects, my real job- bah! Back soon, I hope!

It's Good To Be.......

Queen.

Or King.

Or Angel.

Or Party Girl.

Or Leader.

Or just part of the scene.

But it's GREAT to be...

Debbee Thibault!!! I have several of Debbee's wonderful paper mache creations. Just like with the Scottish dolls post, I didn't think of myself as a collector but I have acquired several pieces over the past few years and I adore them. Her faces are incredibly innocent and a bit silly. I just love them.

Okay, now for the self indulgent part ...And you'll need a magnifying glass : )

Okay, a magnifying glass AND you have to squint!

The very first crown I ever made about five years ago, sitting there on Debbee's bear in the book, Where Women Create! Crazy! So, of course I had to have Debbee sign the page for me.

Yep, it's good to be queen, king, angel, party girl, ....or in my case...

Stalker!

(You can buy Debbee's art and that 'must have' book at American Harvest!)

One more side note. I had had the book for months and never noticed my little crown making an ever so slight appearance. I got a phone call from a friend who was very excited to have made the discovery. That friend was Betsy. Bittersweet, thinking of her now. No change, but she's fighting.

Photos of Debbee and her art are from Where Woman Create by Jo Packham

~A Doctor in the House~

Reading Ulla's blog a couple of days ago reminded me of a post I was going to do a while back  - "back", being the operative word.  When I was flat on my back a few months ago I wasn't able to do much but read and watch T.V.

As I was going from channel to channel I stopped dead in my tracks.

THE most romantic movie ever!! Omar Sharif...Julie Christie...oh, my heart. The room of frost and ice where he wrote the poem for Lara , and the sweeping movie theme? Breathtaking!!

Gorgeous pairing, right? And every time  I watch it, I hope for a different ending. Heart wrenching!!

So...what movie stops you dead in your tracks? The one you have and will continue to watch over and over??? Clue me in on a movie I may not know about but need to!!
