NOT Just Another Mom

I have been on a roll (literally) these past few weeks of summer. A new friend requested me to try a special butterfly for her daughter. It was my first attempt and while playing around, I was able to create a orchid as well in the garden.

I gave you a sneak peak of my quilled cross and it is now complete and framed.  Something about a cross in whatever colors or styles, it always reminds me to live my life by God.  It represents what he gave up for me and that I should always remember ... As a side note, I've had a lot of people ask about the border and the two toned flowers.  These were precut strips I bought at my nearby craft store.  The strips are fringed and cut to form various flower shapes.  I used one style as the outline for my cross.  Here is a link about the strips on my Facebook page.  https://www.facebook.com/QuillingFun/posts/882561315131234

I love all things music. It's just always been a staple in my life. From playing the piano, singing in the many choirs from church and school, to teaching music, and in art.  Well yesterday I decided to attempt a quilled treble clef.  I always say that music soothes the soul... This one is on a green tie-dyed scrapbook paper and instead of the typical black and white, I wanted something a little unusual.  I hope you like it and looking at it helps to sooth your soul... Starting to fill it in ... The finished product:
