Hello out there! Here's a little bit about life right now:
This is me right now:
Slightly out of focus seems about right for life at the moment.
My current art obsession is: Working on two paintings in tandem in short 30-minute bursts.
My current life obsession is: Settlers of Catan. Can't. Stop. Playing.
I'm loving: My Mom. Glad she's my Mom.
I'm hating: That it's officially Spring and my heavy parka and boots are still very much needed.
My home is: Filled with eclectic goodies.
My life is: Surreal and Magical and Lucky.
My favorite art project I made this month but haven't shown on the blog yet: paper I watercolored, cut and then rolled into a flower. I love the way it looks and how easy it is to do!

Yours does look like a charmed life Julie and you’ve worked hard to get where you are. Your Mom is such a positive support and influence and I love seeing pics of the two of you together. That flower is pretty darn sweet and “real” spring will be here soon (I hope).

Hi Julie,
Busy girl you are. I did watch you on HSN on the 14th of March.
Great Job done there even if you did not get to do all that you wanted. Chicago looked amazing. I wish I could see that show next year.
The flower that you did looks really nice. I too have been playing around with spiral roses. I did see a certain Lady from across the pond demon her die cut for making them on HSN.
I too thought that it could be done with the Scan n cut. I did find a free svg file. I tried it I think the scallop edge needs to be taller to get that nice bend to make it fluff out more and look more like your 5 flower scan n cut flower.
I have been stamping blank paper with my snc stamps. You using water colors love it.
I am reproducing a pattern piece for a hat that I have made before. I am using my SNC thank goodness for the basic shapes as I found the shape of the crown for the hat that I needed to reproduce.
I just hope I got my dimensions right. I made the hat twice a couple of years ago for gifts. I wanted to make one for myself. I must have cut it to small as the crown looks like it would fit a little child. Here is hoping all turns out. I will have it for next winter.
Hope you are now home and relaxing. Sorry to hear about your rotate-r cuff. That can be very painful. I like your faux yoga. Looks like something I could try. Looks easy and fun.
You have a great day.
Happy Monday
Fawna
