I love making things ~

Remember the shells I found? They've been transformed!! I usually don't make duplicate items....I'm a one-of-a-kind girl.....but after finding the shells I knew it was what they must be.
Each adorned with snippets of lace, little pearls and other trinkets.
For sale now in my Feathered Nest Shoppe!







I've been very blessed to be able to have my studio in our large two-car garage. And you KNOW I love gathering LOTS of things to build my stash. Well, the problem with having tons of space and tons of stuff is remembering where in the world you've put everything! Especially since I love sewing, collage, assemblage, paperclay...and so many other things ~

I've been thinking....I need a bit of a system ~ something that helps me remember it all, what I have, where it is, so when that idea hits me....I can find what I need!!!

What about an index? Sort of like the library has but on a smaller scale ~ I have this little note book filled with index cards. I'm going to place alphabetical tabs on and jot down where things are located in my studio ~ seam binding would be listed under "S" and so on. My mind is just not as good as it used to be!!!




I hope your Friday is just wonderful sweet friends ~
hugs and love,
Dawn

Just make a little something ~

I've realized that when my creative mojo is missing....all I need to do is make just a little something and I feel it coming back ~ also listening to my favorite music in the studio is another thing that I love. I'll pull out supplies and begin going through them, remembering where I found each one (sometimes) and as soon as I start layering a few things together, things that belong with each other, the creativity in me begins churning!!

Our lives are so busy with families, work, cleaning and cooking but if I can just carve out a small amount of time to make something, I then remember how good it always makes me feel ~

A sweet little paperweight that I put together ~ for sale in The Feathered Nest Shoppe ~







I found these shells the other day, they're perfect for beautiful pincushions!



I've been trying to pull out a few projects that I'd started and finish them up ~ this French journal is just begging to be finished!





And for your baby viewing pleasure, sweet photos of our precious Clara ~
who will be FIVE months old Sunday!!




Don't you just want to squeeze her?!


I hope you have a great Thursday sweet friends ~
xxoo, Dawn
