Greetings from Chris Haines. I love comments and links, so please leave them. I am a 50 something baby boomer with 4 grown children, 3 grandbabies, and many friends. My heart is to take care of others; I've been doing it my whole life. I came from a co-dependent disfuctional family but I wouldn't have done it any different if I could of. It makes me who I am and I love me! I love painting, dyeing, quilting, drawing and this is the year that my Art will be foremost in my life. I plan on entering shows and magazines and maybe a Etsy Shop. My art is a driving force in putting it out there for the world to see or not see. I am blessed.
January 2011, Hunkering Down to a long winter's rest- In the Bird's Nest. Waiting for Spring Thaw! You can design and discover many things when your in your nest.
Ice Formations on the Maumee River. This river starts in Indiana near Fort Wayne and flows through many damns to Maumee Bay in Lake Erie. Walleye, White Perch, Catfish are the many species of fish. Grey & Blue Herons, Bald Eagles, Candian Geese, Wood Ducks, Mallards, Seagulls and many other water fowl find refuge on this beautiful muddy river. I love Kayaking, fishing and boating on this flowing water.
Things you can do in the dead of Winter. Snow Dyed Beauties.
Snow Dyeing in January. Go ahead make a mess.
My first blog
http://www.shopconsingment.blogspot.com/ was about my consignment shop that I had for seven years. But due to economy and my burnout, I closed the shop last January. My first love popped it's head and I purchased a Bernina artista 640 and a BabyLock Embellisher and went to designing traditional quilts, art quilts, machine embroidry, dyeing fabrics, making ribbons, felting and plain having fun bringing my artistic mind ,fabric and threads together.
