March doings

Well March is just around the corner. Hurray.! I am so tired of February and its nasty weather.

I just had to post this picture of a doll that a friend of mine made. She is just beautiful in person. Her body is made from white fabric that have silver snow flakes printe on it. Her hat, cuffs and scarf are crocheted from soft white feathery yarn that has some silver fibers in it.. I'm sorry I don't know her name. But I am hoping that her snowflakes are the last ones that I see till next winter.

There are several stamp orders pending at the Artfull Hand.

We are expecting Fred B Mullet, StampInks, ARtImpression, Judikins and another Hero Arts order. Classes that are scheduled this month are Bargello, Origami 101, a begginner's class, Bees Wax and Metal 101. Not too mention that there are several 3 for $3s schedule. The calendar and newsletter will be out soon. Be sure to check out my web site at www.theartfullhand.com in a couple of days for all the latest. Or better yet stop by and visit us in person.

Holy Cow

It's been almost two weeks since I last posted.... Ggeeeezzz. Sorry about that. I've gotten really busy at the Vet office and the stamp store and have just plain forgot about the blog.!!!

At the stamp store we have gotten in some new Quicklets eyelets. If you haven't seen these they are really cool. You don't need to hammer the eyelets in...Just use their tool or a ball point pen and push and the flange flares and you then just push the flared flanges down. Easy as pie.

We've also gotten in Easter Stamps from Paper Inspirations, another Hero order and an order from Stamp Inks.... I have several other orders pending and a couple waiting to be place.

The weather has warmed up and I no longer have to wear the mask...

The picture posted is a card Linda made using alcohol inks on vellum as the red background. Then she stamp the "A" on top and then layered it all up. She makes some of the best cards.

It's sooooo cold

It's so cold here in East Central Missouri that I have resorted to wearing this........

Good thing we have global warming. Can you

imagine how cold it would be if we didn't have it????????????

Super Bowl Sunday Stamp Out

Our Superbowl Sunday Stamp Out was very successfull. Not only did all of us finish one or two projects that we were working on but we manage to complete a challenge card too. Unfortuantely I forgot to take pictures of the cards.

A few people came and went during the day. Some came late. Some stayed the whole time.. But we all had a blast. It is the sharing that makes these get togethers memorable.
