Sophie at 5 1/2 Months

I've been getting emails as to how Sophie is doing so I thought I'd post a current picture of her.  Here she is at 5 1/2 months old.  She is a smart little pup...already house trained and has learned to sit and fetch.  **Sophie is a Cavachon (Bichon Frise and a Cavalier King Charles Spaniel mix)**

Mixed Media Monday - Past Loves

This week at Mixed Media Monday the theme is "Past Loves".  Not old flames but something you used to love to do and haven't done in a long time.  I used to make quite a bit of jewelry at one time.  I haven't touched my bead stash in years and I also needed to make charms for a swap at Marie Antoinette Mail Art so I spent the day making charms for the swap and also made this charm bracelet for myself.  I spent all day working on 36 different charms...this is just a small sample of my work.

Thanks for a great challenge.  It was nice to break out the needle nose pliers again.  Please visit:   http://mixedmediamonday.wordpress.com/  to see all the lovely art this week.

Lovely Art from Lovely Ladies

I rec'd these fabulous ATCs over the last 3 months as 1 to 1 trades, hostess thank-yous and just to make me smile.  Thank you ladies, I smiled when I saw them all!

Marie Antoinette Tassel Doll

I created this Marie Antoinette Tassel Doll for a swap at Marie Antoinette Mail Art on Ning for my partner, Rella Gauthier.  This is a large tassel doll (12" long").

Isn't this doll exquisite?  I joined a Tassel Doll Swap at Marie Antoinette Mail Art on Ning and I was partnered with Rella Gauthier.  I was thrilled when this stunning package arrived on my doorstep.  Thanks so much Rella!
