UNfinished Business

Yesterday, I mentioned on my Facebook page that I was hot and heavy into creating and was having a blast !  I just love playing with new ideas.   Of course, a few of those FB peeps asked me for a sneak peek.  How was I to say no ?  Here is what I have in the works..... 

Gently aged pillow tops - just painted and hanging to dry.

(Signs ready to put together.  Many more on the table )

On my workbench - A beautiful mess.

Lovin' all the ways with words :-)

...There are so many cool artists out there - Doin' their thing with words,
I am having a ball trying it my way.
As far as having these finished and ready to offer for selling -I'm shootin' for the end of the week.  I hope you will like it.

I am so grateful to be able to do all this for a living. Which reminds me.... Have you visited TJ's blog ?   HUMBLE ORIGINS What a  Hoot, she is ! Always has the sweetest posts.  Yesterday she spoke just a bit about being grateful.  Stop on over there, tell her your 5 things, and begin to follow her - You're sure to leave her page smilin'
Enjoy Life.....xoxo ,  Dru

Call it Hope...

This one quote speaks volumes to me.  After a very trying past few years, it means more to me than anyone will ever know.

I found this on pinterest the other day and just thought I'd share.  I've been very lazy about taking any new pictures lately.  Instead, been focusing on simply living, creating, and making plans for the future.    There are a few fun things to show and tell.... I'll be doing that very soon .  Until then.....
Enjoy your week,  xoxo, Dru

Simplify...

Simply wanted to wish you all a most lovely weekend.   I'm having my first selection of goods at Cinnamon Creek this morning and then -  After what I hope to be a busy day in the workshop ....I will be spending the rest of my weekend trying to SIMPLIFY my life.   I am very much looking forward to cleaning and extreme decluttering in my home , studio and oh, yes...my mind.

xoxo.....Dru

A whole box of crayons...

I sit here...it the corner of my little winter studio - in such a mess, it looks like a madwoman has been on the loose  !  Oh, wait.... there was !!!! ( smiles)  These past couple of weeks have been a whirlwind trip for me, and I haven't even had to leave the comfort of my own home. Glad to be back  :-)

Sounds like a madwoman...doesn't it ?  I do get that way sometimes.  I have a little bauble that hangs around my neck  that says..."sometimes there was a storm in her brain" . So fitting for me. And I must say - it brings me comfort knowing that Sally Jean would create that- as I  know she didn't do it just for me   :-)  ... So, there are others out there who feel the way I do???  Whew !   Usually , brainstorming is a good thing.    I get SO inspired to do so many different things. AND, I  really do feel there is much for me to offer - if only I had the time.  I have created many dolls and little pieces of art lately - only to look over in one little corner here and see all the little heads ripped off of them.  Did I do that ?   Oh, yes I did !  Ha !   I was trying to mix it all up too much.... in as much as I have created some fine little pieces of folk art recently.... there are some freaky things in the mix over here  :-)   So, if this sign is true........

I"ll have to say -As far as my little creative world goes...I'm going to have to stick with a few select colors, or it all becomes too  much like some crazy psychedelic trip for me !  

I actually discovered this saying just a few days ago - AFTER my little personal creative struggle.   I truly do love it though, and It is SO true .   We should use the whole box of crayons in every aspect of our lives .

You may be able to see - by my new header and a few side picture additions that I'm back to my old self again.   I like simple. I like light. I like peaceful.   That's what you're going to continue seeing alot more of here at  my fine farmhouse.  OH....and there are a few other good things that did come out of this little episode of mine.  This sign - for instance.  I'm working on a whole new line of signs, art pieces and pillows with special messages such as this.

Thanks for stopping by for a visit.... xoxo,    Dru
p.s.     Now that I have this new laptop, and I'm settling down for the winter - I plan to make it more of a routine to stop by and visit you  more often.  I read your kind comments, and I look forward to getting to know all of you better.
