Two Projects

Stayed home from work again today. Most of the time I sipped broth, read a book, and took little cat naps. I did have a little time to go to the treehouse and create, finishing two projects that need to get into the mail.
I'm hosting the Beaded Button Beauties swap on the CPS group, and was able to complete my offering today. She has the requisite button body and tail, a beaded dragonfly body and wings, and a turbaned face from Linsart.


Another view (hanging in front of the blinds):

Also, I made scrappy layered fabric, satin stitched hearts in pink, and cut out a couple of 2" squares for my Pink Artist offering for Monica Magness. I'm not sure yet which one I'll send - I like both of them.
And now...I'm heading back to bed, LOL!

Mail Call!

Today, I came home from the office early. I've been absolutely knocked out by a fierce and sudden head cold. As I puttered about the house, making myself some cold-killing garlic/thyme broth, and preparing to have my own personal pity party, I noticed a HUGE stack of mail on our front porch. Among the many treasures that arrived was my copy of Ricë Freeman-Zachary's new 'zine.

I just had to post a photo here, because Ricë took such pains to decorate the envelope - and it looks as though the stamp cancelling technique used by the post office involved a truck tire!

You might want to go HERE and see if there are more copies to order... I do love a paper 'zine I can hold in my hand (and take to my nest, while having a pity party)!
