M.I.A.

 

Some of you might have noticed I haven't been around very much lately.  I've been here, but not here.  Know what I mean? Well, what can I say?  Life can take you by surprise sometimes.

 

Once upon a time (in a land far away), I thought that if I could manage my time well enough and keep working hard, things would turn out pretty well the way I expected.  

Ha ha ha ha ha ha!  Wasn't I the naive one? 

 

Now I know that Life is an unpredictable adventure - more like a roller coaster, full of ups & downs and loops and OMG what was that????  Then, there is that lovely calm stretch so you can catch your breath.  And when you look back you realize how much fun that was and you want to go again!  Sometimes I wonder about that!  LOL!

Whatever.  I think I'm back amongst you all again.  I have been working on lots of fun projects which I hope to share with you soon.

See that teensy clean spot in the middle?  That's where my doll for the Hoffman Challenge was.  Finished her - I think.  Now to get her shipped off.

Well, at least there are legs now!

Wednesday WOW - June 30

Mostly embroidery and other hand work this week.  The box holds threads and such for carrying up and down stairs.

And this is what is NEXT to the worktable today!

It's A Mad, Mad, Mad, Mad . . .

World - er, no!  I mean Tea Party!!!!

Even if one doesn't drink tea every day, there's something magical about the idea of a tea party, isn't there?  Partly because of Alice's adventures, but not completely, I'm thinking.  Beyond the party favors and pretty dresses and lovely table settings, there is the idea of the never-ending party where there is no time to wash up. . . .

The dishes and cups just stack up . . .

and up . . .

and up!!

But, hurry!  Before it is too late . . .

to meet our host, the Mad Hatter!

Say!  Does he look familiar to you?  But never mind - it's time to move on to the next party space.  Go to A Fanciful Twist and follow the links to this year's wonderful Mad Tea Party.

And if you enjoy the party, come back next year.  I'm sure we'll have another one and I hope to have more yummy treats to share.

Isn't that a great teapot?  Well, there will be lots of this kind of thing this coming Saturday.  That is when Vanessa is hosting her annual Mad Tea Party! 

I plan to join her - for a little bit at least.  I may not get mad, but maybe a little silly!  So go see Vanessa at A Fanciful Twist on Saturday and follow her list of blogs to see what kind of Madness creative people can craft up!  And look for me there!

In spite of the last post, some things are getting done!  Teapot - ready to assemble.
