Hi Everyone :) I hope you have been super!
Two posts in one day! Go me! ha ha ha jk ;)
These past few months have certainly been crazy but I'm hoping now things are getting back on track :) Here's a quick run down or you can scroll to the end to see what's going on creatively.
December 30, I had foot surgery which I have very slowly been recovering from.Wearing those oh so pretty 4 inch heeled boots for the majority of my life to hide the fact that I'm fairly tiny, left me on crutches and unable to walk for far longer than the doctor suggested.
For those of you who may not know me very well... I rarely relax or sit still and when I do I'm usually doing something "productive" while doing it so being down for so long was really getting to me. Talk about frustrating! Thankfully I'm walking again :)
To add to the craziness of things, I lost two uncles just a few months apart. My moms brothers and at the same time, my grandmother, was put in the hospital/ nursing home. Please send some healing energies our way to help mend our hearts and so we can take her home soon :)
On the plus sides, I'm healing. I got a new computer so now hopefully updating the blog will be much easier. I got myself a lil car, a volkswagon golf and its so cute! I should also have up an etsy store pretty soon.
Now, lets get back on the creative track! I'm participating in two challenges. :D
One is for ADO which is Shakespeare themed!
The other came to be through chatting with some friends the other day about unfinished pieces laying around the studio. I am terrible at finishing things especially if I do not have a deadline of some sort so this ought to keep me on my toes :) (Thanks
Linda!)
The challenge is to post a photo of your UFO's & WIPS and finish one of them per month and post the finished piece on your blog on the first of the month. If you'd like to join us please let me know, or add it in your comment so we can add you to the blog list :) I think this will be motivating and inspire us to finish some of those poor lil guys who have waited patiently for their turn.
I put together many of my wips last night, these were just the ones I thought I might actually complete someday.
I tried to count them.... I believe there are over 60! Yes, I shamefully admit that you read that sentence correctly. I may have to finish a few per month to keep up with others!
Here is my Table of UFO's/WIPS!
Behind my retreat piece on the left, its hard to see but there
is not one but two large dragons and the start of a tree....
A little closer? Ok!
Right side of the table...
The tall one is for Sherry's Libelle class.
Parts that go with some of those heads :)
Oh my, even inside some of the drawers....
This one is new, she is for my mom :)
How many wips can you spot in this picture? :O
Jk! Stop counting, please! hee hee
For those of you participating in the ADO challenge, Ophelia's is the one with the closed eyes. :)
Heads and dragon babies!
That lil one on the left is only about an inch, he's tiny :)
I usually keep my creative space private, That's probably partly because it's the biggest WIP of them all! Here's one of my tables, this is where I get messy. This is for you Linda!
If you look closely on the shelves, there's a few wips up there, it was easier to show the space then to move that giant dragonfly! Oh, and in case I haven't mentioned it before, I collect toys....you think? ;)
If one were to zoom in on the top shelf they'd find these lil guys hanging out there. The brown thing on the left that's hard to see is the dragonfly WIP (you may have seen his skeleton being built in an earlier entry.)
So close but yet so far from completion...my poor turtle hoonie awww.. soon lil one, soon!
And so it begins... Which should I start with? Any suggestions? :)
Thanks for visiting and please wish me luck, I'll need it!
BIG hugs,
Sprite
