NEW BLOG

I will be shutting this blog down soon. My new blog is: www.leglitterandpearls.blogspot.com .

Stitching

Pam Garrison has me hooked on stitching. I wanted one of her journals but they sold out before I could get one!

First

Welcome to my new blog...le Glitter & Pearls!! I decided to create a new blog, why? because I can, heehee. Actually the reason is because I love to mix art and fashion so I felt like starting over and mixing things up a bit. I hope you enjoy my blog. Leave comments, I need your input!!

Be Kind

This is my random stitching. It makes no sense at all, which I love!

I need to put these on Etsy.

I have a Bird in spring
Which for myself doth sing—
The spring decoys.
And as the summer nears—
And as the Rose appears,
Robin is gone.

Yet do I not repine
Knowing that Bird of mine
Though flown—
Learneth beyond the sea
Melody new for me
And will return.

Fast is a safer hand
Held in a truer Land
Are mine—
And though they now depart,
Tell I my doubting heart
They're thine.

In a serener Bright,
In a more golden light
I see
Each little doubt and fear,
Each little discord here
Removed.

Then will I not repine,
Knowing that Bird of mine
Though flown
Shall in a distant tree
Bright melody for me
Return.

~ Emily Dickinson

Stitching

I love stitching, it is an addiction! I stay up way too late doing these!

This one (above) is sort of beachy feeling to me.

Pink and green - two great colors that go together so well. Trying to decide if this is done, does it look 'done' to you?

More ready for Etsy!

Okay, so I haven't actually posted my latest creations on Etsy because I've been so busy with work! But, I do have some stuff up and will get to the rest this weekend!

More of the Hollywood Legends collection. I just love this picture of Liz, isn't she gorgeous? And here's some fun stuff that I made. I love this retro Barbie and her saying, it's hilarious! Did anyone actually have this Barbie, cuz I don't remember her.?

Hollywood Collection

Seems I have old Hollywood on my mind. I made these cards this weekend. Check more out at my etsy store...just click on the title above!!

L. Brooks was so chic looking!

Stitching

I've been working on a sampler inspired by Pam Garrison's project which you can see here:

She is incredibly talented and way far advanced. I'm just learning, but she was kind enough to post some tutorials from a website. I will have to look that up and post it. I'm really getting into this fiber collage art...it's so different and also very addictive!

Been busy!

Girly-girl Dresses

Sometimes I think it would be nice to live during the time that ladies took 2 hours or more to get ready for an evening out. And the gowns were just gorgeous! If you think about it they had dinner served to them every night and danced the night away. *sigh*

Ok...maybe not this tutu, but I had to throw it in there!! It's so cute!
