It is all coming together.

don't 'cha just love it: 
                       when your in the groove,
                       and it's time to move,
                       and you're not feeling blue.
don't 'cha just love it:
don't 'cha just love it:
                      When you're feeling free,
                      and you just want to be,
                            golly gee!
Don't 'cha just love it:
                     when you can jump up and out,
                     when you catch a wave,
                     when you shout!
don't 'cha just love it:
                   as the breeze flitters through your wings,
                   as the leaves dance in the wind,
                   as you jump for joy: Rippet!
don't 'cha just love it:
                        when you flit from flower to flower,
                        stop to smell the roses,
                        and just be you.  
don't cha!

Good things about winter!

Yes, it snowed again yesterday and the temp this morning was 10 degrees.  And it's March and there are robins, red-wing blackbirds, and ice still on the pond.  So it was said that Toledo, Ohio had the worst winter ever in it's history with largest amount of snowfall and low temps.


So guess what?  I made lots of quilts.  I dyed fabric, I painted on fabric, I printed on fabric with my HP printer; I played a lot. I quilted. I freemotioned, I flew with threads, I designed, I created.  So much fun. 

"Danger" Monochromatic wall hanging.

I am building up my creative fiber art to sell on Etsy and two local shows that will be coming up this summer.  
WATCH OUT, I AM ON A ROLL- AN ART ROLL. 
What I'm not on a roll with is transferring pictures, so there are additional pictures on my Instagram,  please see here:  http://instagram.com/chaines7169
