A New Project (...continued)

So, my "new project" hasn't progressed as quickly as I'd hoped, but these things do take time. The ideas are percolating...  :)

I've made a bit of progress, though, and here's a snapshot to prove it!

"What is that?" you ask. It's the beginnings of a lovely whimsical garden that will grow all around my fun little house. Stay tuned for more updates!

My year-long hiatus...

Wow! Can you believe it's been a year since I posted? A lot has changed in the past year, but I'm none the worse for wear and looking forward to 2012!! I've re-discovered my old love...paper quilling! Here's a pic of a really simple Christmas card I made recently. I've FINALLY mastered holly leaves! lol

Check back soon for pics of the miniature Santa and miniature angel I also made recently. They're pretty cute!!
