<span style="font-size: large;">Well...I just couldn't let this year pass without posting something on my Blog. I still stop over and visit many of my blogging friends. It is fun to see who is still around and busy as a bee. I keep plenty busy myself but doing a little more traveling, working and doing art in my spare time. Since we are selling our business and house I have packed up much of my art stuff and find myself digging through boxes to get supplies that have been packed away. Our buyer is still out there somewhere but hasn't found us yet. Gonna get more aggressive next year. Winter is not the best time to sell properties here in northern California.<br />

Wow I always heard how fast the time goes when I was younger. Now I am living it. I am thankful for everyday that I have good health. I have lost some friends, too young to die. Makes you realize how precious our days are and to enjoy every one and fill them with as much enjoyment and projects as you can possibly jam into them. <br />
<br />
And the promise of new life renews us. My Niece just had her fifth baby. A little girl they named Lenora. I made her a quilt, as I have done for each of her little ones and each of my Brother's three children some thirty-five years ago. <br />
<br />
I have sorta gotten caught up in the Facebook habit. It is a fun place to see what friends and family are doing.<br />
<br />
I have alot of art and things to post so I will see if I can get back on the blog. I do check in and look at your work and miss you and your wonderful art, beads and doings.<br />

We got away for 4th. of July to visit our two Grandson's and their gracious parents. We had a spectacular time and it is going down as my best fourth ever...We were gone about a week. We spent one nite at Bandon, Oregon. Beautiful Beach.<br />
<br />
This is the book that I made for my Niece's oldest daughter. It was really fun and she liked it. My sister-in-law said all 4 kids pack them around in their little bag to share. Mailed them all down to San Diego.<br />
<br />
Put away all my bead stuff. I made 10 pair to sell in our local Tea and Flower Shop. Started some canvas work. I am on my third. <br />
I hope to show them to you soon.<br />
<br />
Oh ya, about this book.....I bought a board book at a Thrift Store for 25 cents. It was a Big Bird Book. Nice heavy pages perfect for a photo project. I made a bunch of tags with fancy yarn and ribbon and made a pocket to hold them so she can personalize them. I think she will have fun filling them with thoughts and sayings. Anyway..........Have a glorious week............Hugs, DianeOutstanding Strangerhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07111253872669056419noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4755774133508339305.post-260154646708051592011-06-30T07:11:00.000-07:002011-06-30T07:11:13.464-07:00Art Jumping<div class="separator" style="clear: both;

The blank book was purchased and blinged up.. The bag was machine appliqued. I am new to sewing and this is my new machine that I got for Christmas. I am sure it does more things than I will use but it is fun to try different stitches. I did make a small quilt but the tension was not right. In fact I had the bobbin in wrong so it missed a few stitches. I was having so much fun that I wasn't very precise matching my corners..Oh well I have no where to go but up.

Been sick for the last week, and of course the puppy is still demanding most of my time. I have made a couple chunky books and now I am trying to find pictures to go in them. Having a hard time finding just the right ones.

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"></div>Sorry it has been so long between posts. Many thing going on here, so many things I want to do. My friend Chatty Ranie and I made this book. She bought the ZUTTER cutter for heavy cardboard. We cut out the blank stock. She also has the cute little pink BIND-IT-ALL. While she was visiting we made the blank book and later I decorated it with the pretty paper background and then printed all the pictures and added some scrapbook fun things and used my CRICUT to cut some hats and numbers. A touch of ribbon and off in the mail to my niece for her youngest who turned Two.. How can you go wrong with a cute little face like that...<br />
<br />
I have signed up with ANCESTORY.COM and adding to our family genealogy. I worked on it several years ago and wanted to get further back. Still some family I haven't found. It means more time on the pc and less time in the art room. So there you have it..I will still check on the blog list. Love to see what everyone else is doing.

One would be a true friend, two would be a blessing and three or more would be the frosting on the cake....Hugs</strong></span><span style="color: red; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: x-large;">..........................DIANE</span>Outstanding Strangerhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07111253872669056419noreply@blogger.com5tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4755774133508339305.post-65486228724653900892011-02-14T08:58:00.000-08:002011-02-14T08:58:23.973-08:00Happy Valentine's Day<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhFzvrWIFGrgfagHSKEWSP9BffcrvXWv9qoTacghEXyhyOF5zy3slMvuyBQv4yVNhUerauUw2e7V_bN7ZeXhrMB-LF45MrqpiO_5k68oQCf1hqRK5K_im3RcoyBRHXrPP9O0j2PE6QVwIv4/s1600/A+valentine.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" h5="true" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhFzvrWIFGrgfagHSKEWSP9BffcrvXWv9qoTacghEXyhyOF5zy3slMvuyBQv4yVNhUerauUw2e7V_bN7ZeXhrMB-LF45MrqpiO_5k68oQCf1hqRK5K_im3RcoyBRHXrPP9O0j2PE6QVwIv4/s400/A+valentine.jpg" width="300" /></a></div><br />

The top one she is the youngest and smallest. Really the size of a Beanie Baby. The other two are from yesterday. She we had a nice sunny day in the backyard. She is very fun but a lot of work too.

New, fresh, revitalized. With the promise of a new spring and all the broken promises....I never make resolutions anymore, learned a long time ago that promises were made to be broken. If you never expect to much from someone, you will never be disappointed. Time is rushing at us at break-neck-speed. The only way to slow it down some is to have no regrets at the end of the day. Do what you like and like what you do. Surround yourself with people who "get you". Let the others go their own way, find their own path. Live everyday with gusto, laugh a lot, sing in the shower. Don't have that second piece of cake but savor the first bite. In other words jump into 2011 with both feet, leave no stone unturned, step out of the box and do something you have always wanted to do. It really is a wonderful life. Even if we can only let our troubles go for a little while....life is good.</span></em> <span style="color: red; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: x-large;"><strong>DIANE</strong></span>Outstanding Strangerhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07111253872669056419noreply@blogger.com7tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4755774133508339305.post-30897079584318014292010-12-27T09:04:00.000-08:002010-12-27T09:04:49.230-08:00Asking For Trouble<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhoPwkwfiv2hf5WPpSrTL4G4pLRkk4sjH0PN8IBDSNXD9uNGRGBkA3Pj-ctte-qzMSJSZpo0EOvzb1YB3dzOQzZ015W2WfZSt_DcIIG7PJ1soK74cFw7bER5i7SnAfTq7Y8L-qkBiT5hoFt/s1600/Roxy+and+Beanie.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="240" n4="true" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhoPwkwfiv2hf5WPpSrTL4G4pLRkk4sjH0PN8IBDSNXD9uNGRGBkA3Pj-ctte-qzMSJSZpo0EOvzb1YB3dzOQzZ015W2WfZSt_DcIIG7PJ1soK74cFw7bER5i7SnAfTq7Y8L-qkBiT5hoFt/s320/Roxy+and+Beanie.jpg" width="320" /></a></div><br />

Every year my Husband goes to this extreme project to thrill the town and the children of the town. He starts putting up the lights way before Thanksgiving so that Thanksgiving night we can turn them on and start the Christmas Merriment. Most of the old lights have been traded for the new LED lights which save a lot of energy and money. We went to the annual Christmas dinner with the Rotary International. Every year we get invited by our friend to be their guest. The food is so fabulous, the Turkey moist and the stuffing fluffy. Yams and mashed potatoes, pie and wine. yummmm </span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: "Courier New", Courier, monospace; font-size: large;">After we stopped at one of the churches and viewed their Live Nativity. It was wonderful they all wore beautiful costumes and the animals were all live, moo and bah and goose and duck. Songs of Christmas being sung. Truly a blessing. I hope they do it again next year. They went to a lot of work for this two day event.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: "Courier New", Courier, monospace; font-size: large;">My prayer is for an end to Cancer.

Yes there are still many things to do, but if you don't stop for a few minutes and regroup you will miss some of the Joy. I have chosen to slow down today and say Hi to all my fellow bloggers. Take a few extra minutes to smell the coffee. Think about my many blessings and give thanks. Time for me is at warp speed. I always remember hearing how fast time flies when I was in my youth. I guess we never slowed down to think about it much. Now I can see. Time Flies. </span><br />

So needless to say I had to re-boot my studio AGAIN.....I made two pillowcases, and a curtain. My machine is a Janome 2010. So far I love it. It has 50 stitches and threads the needle. I have a quilt in mind that I want to make so I will keep you posted.
