Another Look At Hearts

Hearfelt

Still trying to recover

7 weeks and counting

Studio time in my pajamas

 Several yards of distressed burlap,

jute, buttons and wool.

a mended heart

Feels good to hear the whir of the machine

 and feel the rough/soft juxtaposition of fabrics.

Anthropologie candle burning, twinkle lights on.

I need to spend more time here.

Perhaps that is the prescription I need.

i belong to you

you belong to me

you're my sweetheart

wools felted in

and yes I'm selling,

perhaps reopening my shop..

day by day

waiting to see where I'm going.

a few hearts here and there around oldgreymare

Happy Valentines Day

With A Little Help From Friends

 Yesterday was not a complete loss, I 

kept myself busy making dozens of hearts.

Heart Strings by the Dozen

An Enormous Shout Out Thank you to JILL

I'll be making these forever. <3

This is only the beginning of these also.

A dozen cookies tags.

Lovely <3  CHANIA taught me how,

and these will be a favorite from now on.

Now I need to learn to make marmalade.

Blog Buds are the Bomb!

and because I love her beyond measure,

my daughter's laughter captured just so...

Lovely and cold Darling Daughter

String Silly

Just a fool for Love

A stringing Fool

Poor photos I know, but it's midnight,

and I have another full day tomorrow.

Just wanted to show a couple gals who asked 

what the paper garland looked like. 

Draped over my Juliet balcony.

There are three strands so far, 

both about 9 feet in length.

Two strands to go and then.....? 

Don't know if they will drape the chandelier,

or just dance in the breeze right here by the heater outlet.

Combo of bad lighting and movement at midnight equals

bad photos.....but when you are in a hurry after 

dying your hair at 11:00 pm and still have at least an hour

of prep for tomorrow and an early am ahead, I'm hoping

my gal pals will forgive me.

If you feel the urge, it is just jute and punched shapes.

Pairs glued together with the jute sandwiched in between.

Have a safe and HaPpY weekend everyone!

BE STILL MY HEART

My close friends will tell you I do not like 

hearts. Oh, at one time back in the 80's,

 I couldn't get enough of them. 

I had them in metal, wire, in wreaths and wood,

all thanks to Mary Emmerling.

Then suddenly a self imposed boycott, 

all hearts banished.

Arm chair psychology could steer you toward a reason. 

I <3  Hearts was my anthem.

Lately, for some unknown reason I 

can't seem to stop making them.

These are scrumptious, heavy and nubbby, 

antique french linen,

stuffed with very fragrant organic lavender,

weighted with lentils ( think bean bag feel)

 and topped with felted roses.

You just want to cradle them in your hands,

they feel comforting somehow.

I've tucked a couple into my pj drawer,

and one in the top drawer of my night stand.

Left open just a smidgen and the lavender

is right there aiding sleep.

Valentines Day beckons for remembrances,

maybe that is what has come over me.

I am selling these in 

matched groups of three - 17.00

5" x 4 "

Email if you are interested.
(All sold out but more coming, please email.)

I'll be in the studio making heart garlands.

Finishing up a couple strands this evening.

Looks like the boycott is over.
