...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!!
