Here We Go Round In Circles-Happy B-day Son

Happy Birthday

My middle son turns 22 today. He was born around 11:30am, a lunch time baby. He now is the proud owner of the home next door. And loves his job as a police officer. He will be up in a few hours and will begin a fugitive roundup. Oh boy!! Pray for safety. We won't get to see him today for his birthday. But to let you in on a secret. When he was born I believe he came out smiling. I remember when the doctor held him he grabbed onto the blankie they were wrapping him in and to this day I believe he grabs on to life the same way. With a firm grip.



New Workshop - Artist's Circle
My new workshop started today on Artist's Circle with
Elizabeth. We are using Mixed Media Explorations by
Beryl Taylor. Our first week is using water-soluble solvy, thread, fabric and cording. I forgot to put on yarn and fabric. So that gives me an excuse to try this experiment again.
Haha! You know I don't need an excuse to try it again.
This was suppose to be 3 leaves. I forgot to continue my threads out to another point of thread work. And the pink
circle, my first attempt at a NA mandala. It reminds me of the crocheted coasters in my grandmothers living room along with all the crocheted furniture covers.

I love Beryl Taylor's book and have used ideas from it several times. I will enjoy watching things that you do from it.

Love what you did! I didn't have the patience to try anything like this! To answer your question on my blog -- thanks for stopping by, BTW -- I sewed mine down through the fabric snippets. I'm not very good at tacking.

Happy Birthday to your son, and thank him for his service for me.
