...let it be ~ covered in lace!

...hello dear ones

my mind is swirling and twirling,

as it often does when I'm working in the studio.

but today was dreary out,

and all I keep singing over and over in my mind

was a Beatles song

"let it be"

not really sure how it popped into my brain,

but it's stuck

and it's playing over and over on repeat!!!

one line sticks...

~ and though your troubles may be heavy...

let it be, 

let it be!!

let it be you say?

hhhhmmmmm,

sooooo

I delve into my creative space

with these words of wisdom,

letting it be...

(yes, I can follow directions ~ sometimes ~ maybe ~ if I choose too!!)

and I got to thinking,

what if  ~

I could blanket the world

in

LACE??!!

okay,

maybe that's a little unrealistic

( please, PLEASE don't call me out on this,

as I know myself, and couldn't resist the challenge!!)

but it's the way my brain works!

start with the extreme

and work down to a place I think I can manage...

bet you can't tell what material

I've been working with this week ~ LOL!!

last night, when I finally slunk-ed into bed,

((is slunk-ed even a word?? I think that's what the Grinch did in who ville))

any ~ WHO!!!

as I was saying,

there was lace stuck in my hair!!

not even kidding!!

I guess I really throw myself into things!!

would you like to see a few of these lace pretties??!

here is a light shade make over 

this was very gratifying,

 I RIPPED off the pre-existing shade,

and just made a little lamp shade skirt!!

added a few velvet blossoms, a fairy and

VOILA!!

I whipped up a fresh batch of french fairy dollie skirts...

love the way they look hanging off my grunged rose petal ribbon

  

and I'm really excited about finishing this ~

another fairy light concept,

a fairy ball chandelier!!

I envision it in my dearest mom's farmhouse kitchen!!

I can't wait to get it lite so I can see the lacy pattern thrown all over the walls!!! 

stitching, stiffening,

and day dreaming of how it will look when it is done...

(tee, hee ~ see my needle??)

it is a real work of "heart"!!!

lol!!

(I blame it on the mod podge!!)

I'm just giddy with excitement!!

   

I hope she likes it...

I think I may have to make another,

as I have fallin' in love with it :)

and am already dreaming up little ones too!!

what do you think??

I'll be sharing this over at Faded Charm's White Wednesday

I wonder if there are any doilies over there???

I need more ~ lots more!!

hugs and squeezes!!

here's to fairies and letting it be!!
