August is here gals

Hello and hi there, well here it is August!!!! I mean already August.   Man alive time if truly flying by.  Can you see Father Time floating by with his banner across his chest and his staff?  Well I know they show him as a baby January 1 with a banner across his chest and at the end of the year a very elderly gentleman with long beard and all.   I can truly see why he looks that way..wow just keeping up with us for a whole year has got to be exhausting. 

The other day I received some happy mail as I call it.  When I get an unexpected package with treasures in it.   I guess that is why I like to send them out because I know how they make me feel.  HAPPY !!!!   One of the things - treasures in it was a little tin of Fairy Eggs. Yep you read correct.  Now what do they look like you may ask?  Well here they are.

Is this not the cutest tin?  I love it and Fairy Eggs?

 
 
The back of the tin is just as cute.   Had to show it also.


 
Here you go the Fairy Eggs in all their full glory.  This is just the cutest idea and the sweet lady that sent them said she just couldn't resist being as I have been creating faeries like crazy.   I have sold one of them and some of the ciggies and cards. Those little gals have been good to me I have to say.
 



Now this has nothing to do with Faerie Eggs or Fabric books but just had to share this Bougainvillea with you.  I do think it is outdoing it's self this year.  Such a breath taker isn't it?


 
I have been busy making some fabric books and wanted to share with you what I am doing.  Remember I have this beautiful lace and this one is for a gift so I did block out some of the pics until she gets it.   I hope she likes it. 


 
I did use some of my Faerie ciggies that I printed up from my art work.














Here is one more fabric book, it is small and I made it for my lace angel that gave me the lace from Taco Tuesday.  I don't know her at all so I hope she likes the book.  I didn't make a giant one for her so fingers crossed





 
Now I have one more fabric book done and will share it in a few days, I don't want you to have lace overload.  Of flower overload from some pics I took of our patio.   Granted we only have trees we have planted since we have been here but a tree is a tree in our flat land of the Texas Panhandle.
 
I guess the most challenging thing I am fixin to do is possibly open an Etsy shop.  My friend Geraldine and Mary Jane have urged me to so I will make a stab at it.   Yikes. 
 
There you go for today and thanks  for stopping by and seeing what is going on in my world today.
 
XOXOXO
Annette

  1. Your fairy books are gorgeous Annette. And thanks for sharing the flowers. Nothing that lush grows here and I'd probably treat it to a slow and lingering death if it did. No green thumb here. I got the silkies you sent from the contest and I love it. Its sitting on the table by my chair waiting to tell me what it wants to be.

    1. Thanks Marilyn glad you like them am anxious to see what you create with the silkies. The plant? It loves loves the sun and we just fertilize it and give it a good hair cut in the winter to store in the back garage. Wish we could leave out all the time but it makes up for it in the summer. Hugs and have a great week.xoo

    1. Hi Lesley, thanks for the blessings and comment my dear. Funny when I have started making these books it looks like an explosion here in the art room but it is a pretty one with lace everywhere. Have a good day my dear. xoxo

  3. Hi Annette,

    I feel like a heel for not letting you know my silkies arrived and how much I love them. They did...and I do! They are now on my "to use" list. Hopefully I will be able to use one or in a project very soon. I'm trying to get a grip on my time so I have some stitching time and energy. I'm training a very stubborn, female German Shepherd puppy, and she has given me a run for my money! We are going through behavior modification training now so I am hopeful. I'll be sure to share what I do. I appreciate you! Love the work you showed in this post. Judy in MS
