BURLAP FOR NEW YEAR - 2011

I'm spending a few hours in Studio 58 today. Christmas is all put away - it will be stored in my memory and the memory of all those that shared it with me. My heart is full of the understanding that God lives and he directs us if we listen. I have enjoyed visiting your blogs and seeing your celebrations. Now I am enjoying seeing how you prepare for the new year. If your like me, you have to clean closets and storage places and organize everything.

But today, I'm simply blogging and dreaming of my first project for the new year.

I am inspired by the several yards of burlap that I bought before Christmas. I've never used it, but it's time. There is a very peaceful filling when I gather other natural colors to join it.

White milk glass, laces, ribbon, flowers.

Shells

I want to make this year simple and beautiful. I want it to be the best one yet!
I have always been happiest among natural color, however, I love lime green and plum. But mostly I love the colors of nature.

There is something vintage in me always trying to get out. I'm trying.


I hope that all of you will find time during this next year to visit your special place and find inspiration. Magical things are waiting for all of us! May our hands be blessed to create good things.
