Creating on Vacation

Creative Cue ODD
I was inspired by odd socks of which we have many in our family. My son calls them socks without friends!

This week`s cue is TIE
I was inspired by different kinds of ties and decided to do a Zentangle of ties and knots in my sketchbook.


I continue to work on my class lessons for Fertile Earth. This is Lesson 4 still in progress. I am loving the look so far.

For lesson 3, I used Creative Chick`s photo of mushrooms and followed her stitching as well. I have now applied all the painted organza circles and I am adding the sequin waste as well. I love how Susan creates her layers in her stitcheries.
I spent today hunting for treasures at an antique flea market in Fort Walton Beach! I sleuthed out 2 vintage chiffon scarves, ribbon, a vintage hankie, dyed green cheesecloth, paper images of vintage photos and a 1950`s sewing pattern still in tact! All the fun is in the hunt and trying to spend as little money as possible. All this for $11 US!
