Happy New Year! 2009! I can't believe it. I have so many things I want to paint and sew. My resolution will be to make as much art as I possibly can. The kitchen can be dirty for a while and the laundry can pile up. I feel like I say this every year, but I guess I need to keep saying it until it sinks in. I had a great Christmas. I got a classic i-pod and a dress form. I already altered a man's t-shirt to fit me with the dress form. It was great. These photos I have posted are from my Suzi Blu Be Devine workshop. The pages are about Hestia, goddess of the hearth. The form is a paper mache dress form with positive comments about my body. I made the tree on my torso to represent my stretch marks and that I received them through giving birth to my daughter and son. I had a lot of fun stitching all over the pages with embroidery floss. Mixed Media is so fun. I wish everyone to have a Happy and Properous New Year.

These are really gorgeous Shannon! You should submit your work to Sommerset studio. Forgive my ignorance but what is the Suzi Blu Be Divine workshop?
I'm finally getting back into my regular blog routine after being sidetracked during the past few months of holidays so I'll be by more often:)
Oh, and I like your playlist. My son 's fav. songs are "Trip like I do" and "High Roller" by Crystal Method. We just refer to them as the "rocket songs". I know, probably not ideal music for a 3yr old but he also likes Raffi too :)
