Yeahhhh!!!! I finished her!!! This teensy project took forever cuz she kept talking to me! :_) Meet Hecca!!! This is my version of the fairie goddess for January. Backed by the frosty mountains, she is "in" the forest....surrounded by snow covered trees. For me, she represents the goddess of life. She is giving energy and life to the frozen ground, nurturing it in her belly and releasing it to the moon sky above. She is typically attended by three dogs...but I have four, so the four paws are for my furkids. I have surrounded her wings with "ice" which is melting as it comes closer to her life center. I have also placed a couple of charms that are significant to me in that the howling wolf depicts my husbands spirit and the bear depicts mine. She will help me to maintain my focus and
assist me in my journey towards being more centered and
balanced! At least thats my intent. A new year and new
life! :_)


I truly hope the remaining months of the fairie goddess are not quite as demanding and will be content with a more simple presentation! :_)

Enjoy!!!

Last but not least is my January goddess for the FairieGoddessMothers group! Right now it doesn't show at all, but the background is cq...but that will show better once it's embellished. I'm also planning on beading the wings....sooo, it's probly gonna be a bit longer before she's done. Sigh.... hopefully before I have to start on February! LOL!!!

This is a cq project...a bra that i'm working on for a challenge. Thank goodness the deadline is extended. The beading has taken me longer than expected!!! I will post again when I get it finished. Been fun. I'll have to figure out how to get better pics of the detail without the reflections. This is called Ocean's Blue...and has a brazilian embroidered lobster, glass fish, silk riggon sea weed, and a variety of other ocean life so far. Hopefully it will do well and not look silly. Its been a great expression tho...I have to admit!

This pic is just for fun. I've been working on a bra for a challenge and our "new" boarder, DH's step father, has been giving me a hard time about it. Sooooo...i've told him he will get to model it! Course, its not done...but he still got the opportunity to show off for a minute! LOL!!

This is the centerpiece for a quilt I am making for hubby. Another gift for Christmas. He had the choice of this being a wall hanging or a quilt. Course he chose the quilt! :_PP Sooo, now to figure out some of the other McKenna Ryan pieces I want to do for the surrounding blocks! More on them later!

Goooooodddddnesssss!!! It's been forever since I last posted!!!! I didn't realize how bad i'd been! Soooo, i'm going to post two things now....and hopefully a copule more tomorrow!

This is a mini-quilt I made for my hubby for Christmas. Its a combo of a landscape quilt and cq....which is around the interior border. Then I added a black border around it to finish it off. I added cq stitching on the patches and also did some fabric manipulation to add dimension. Came out pretty well. A tad dark, but it's serving its purpose. It's rather a long standing "joke" between he and I as he is a hunter. He has only gotten one elk since i've known him....and was disappointed again this year. Sooo, I decided to give him one so he could say that he was successful last season! ?_)
