Little Fingers

I haven't had a chance to be too creative lately..

So.....I came upstairs today in hopes that

something fabulous would come into my head.

I sat looking at my fabric wall

but NEVER had that burst of fabulous.

As I sat there waiting for my creative burst

I saw this old piece of pillow

that I had destuffed to use for a new pillow I'd made

and wondered hum........how would the fabric

on the back of that ole' pillow look as a FLOWER?

So... I started cutting circles in varying sizes.
Then I found a red bead that I thought might look
kinda cute.... so I sewed it in first.

Then I made really big stitches from
the bottom layer up through different layers
(I skipped around with the layers
so that it wouldn't look too exact)
I used red thread so you wouldn't see it,
and pulled tightly as I made each stitch
to make the FLOWER gather.

Here is my finished FLOWER...
now all I've got to do is get it attached
to a headband for Brook..
She decided that she needed it more than I did.

This is one of the areas dedicated to Brady
in my STUDIO upstairs .
Normally it keeps him busy for at least 30 minutes.....
BUT... NOT TODAY!!!

So... I scratched the whole
BEING Creative mode..
and we decided to do a little
FINGER Painting !!!

As Brady stuck his little fingers in the paint
he kept LOOKING at me
wondering if I was really going to let him do this...
space
He even told on his self saying
"MOM I gettin' messes"...
I had to laugh as I thought....
some of my best creations were
smack in the middle of
A BIG MESS !!!

Here is our new piece of ART...

We painted it on Canvas...

SO... I'm pretty sure it will be hanging somewhere SOON !

May we never get too busy in our daily plans

TO SEIZE the moments when they are given.

You might even be surprised that your NEW plan

turned out so much BETTER than the one you started out with.
