More totems...'cause some have already sold this summer!!

Went to a tag sale that my niece was part of at the local volunteer fire dept.  Got a whole slew of great pieces.  This lady with a bird was one of many...she's letting the bird out of the cage which is so sweet.  Used greens and coppers to stack for her to be shown in someone's garden.






 This little white horse is part of a special order totem.  Which is why I am showing just part of it.  It is hers exclusively.


Then I had to use this pink paperweight as a topper.  Chose white and crystal to make it stack purrrty.



 A teapot with teal started this totem...because I had this great big jar to park it on once I found all the right pieces in between.




 And lastly...for the moment...a mushroom cluster dictated the color scheme for this totem... Coppers and reds seemed ideal.  It is a shorter one than most which fit the little mushrooms.





 Here is a clear from top to bottom totem, because there is always the purist who doesn't want color, but loves the idea and the sparkle of totems.

Hand is getting better...

...so I can finally get to typing and more importantly, to quilting. The swelling was so bad I couldn't bend the hand for two weeks. This caused the tendons to stiffen somethin' terrific!! So now I am going for physical therapy and doing exercises every hour to get the hand working again. It is much better and I'm back in business--Whoopee!
Here is one I started a couple days ago to see if I could work the hand in all the moves necessary. It is coming along nicely, and I hope to have it finished soon.


This is a UFO that I finally decided to get back to work on. I wanted to do more embellishing, but couldn't quite decide what would look good. Now I have some beading and embroidery ideas and just have to get to it.


This is a FINISHED wall hanging for ETSY that I am calling "Losing touch" It is the first time I added metal findings from my husband's shop drawers full of hardware. Fun treasure hunt with a whole new eye down in his dusty ole drawers and containers!
