Fun day in the art room!







The weather here is like winter again...Crazy spring Nw weather I guess. I decided to have a pajama art day, and that is what I did. I haven't been outside once and I am still in the pajamas and very comfortable too! I worked on the quilt that I am putting together...I am posting a picture. It is getting bigger slowly but surely. I do have block fabric left over so I think I am going to make some more blocks to mix in with a second border. i want it to be one big quilt! I am going to redo a whole bedroom based around the color of the quilt..I am not going to take anymore pictures until it is done though...I just need to make sure It's not bigger than my machine and frame....



I also made postcards for the "Arts in the mail" group....The theme was cake so I made appliqued cupcakes...I like how they turned out and they went together pretty quickly. I made four and I have already gotten one....three more to go! My post office loves these postcards. I have one lady that always has me make her postcards for birthdays. (she buys them) They really enjoy seeing the ones that come in too...they treat me like this famous postcard artist...ha ha! Ya gotta love that small town thing!



I mentioned in a previous post that I was going to take part in a fabric charm swap...I played around with some ideas and came up with a charm...It is really cute. i have looked at peoples bracelets and sure have admired them on the internet. I would probably wear a necklace though with like a black turtleneck...I have to be careful with accessories because I am petite. Though i am like a magpie and love all the glitzy stuff...just not on me! Enjoy looking! Melinda
