<span style="color: #38761d; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I was so excited when a package arrived in mail today. I knew what was inside the envelope, samples of my Valentine Card I designed for an upscale, national, grocery store chain. I love how the card turned out. I asked my husband, Gary, how he liked the card. “OK”, he said, “considering there are squirrels on the cover”. Gary is not a fan of squirrels, but I love him in spite of this flaw! Happy Valentine’s Day everyone!</span><br />

My new Etsy series is on my site<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on">
<span style="color: #38761d; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">As you all know, I have been working on a series for prints for my Etsy site. I have been showing the works in progress on Instagram. I wanted to have the prints ready to make their debut for the holidays. What did I make? I decided to design a series of prints highlighting how wonderful it is to make and buy handmade products. For me, any time I can sit down and do some kind of creative work with my hands, my blood pressure goes down, my stress level becomes more manageable, my mood lightens and before I know it I am feeling better. I know so many artists that feel the same way. </span><br />
<span style="color: #38761d; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Also I wanted to make prints for crafters to give to their DYI and crafting friends to hang in their studios and homes to remind them how important it is to make time for their crafts. </span><br />
<span style="color: #38761d; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><span style="color: #38761d;">I decided to take the piece of art I made for Uppercase’s Work/Life 3 book. </span><a href="http://shop.uppercasemagazine.com/collections/books"><span style="color: #45818e;">http://shop.uppercasemagazine.com/collections/books</span></a><span style="color: #0b5394;"> </span><span style="color: #38761d;">For this book, I was asked to do an image showing my love of haberdashery. I got a very positive response to the piece and the editor of Uppercase, Janine Vangool, said it was one of her favorite pieces. With that piece in mind, I created a series of Make It! prints. So far I have finished Felt it!, Sew It!, Knit It!, Stitch It!, Glue It! as well as the Work/Life piece turned into Make It! Coming Soon: Quilt It!, Sketch It!, and Crochet It! which should be finished and on the site within the week. </span></span><br />
<span style="color: #38761d; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><span style="color: #38761d;">So here they are. They would look perfect in your studios as well as gifts for all your DYI and crafting friends. They are available for sale at my Etsy site. </span><a href="https://www.etsy.com/shop/lindasolovic"><span style="color: #45818e;">https://www.etsy.com/shop/lindasolovic</span></a></span><br />

Thanks so much Christine Kenney! The pieces she bought are the last three before the final button card which is the one button card I kept for myself. I am including them so everyone can see them.

<span style="color: #38761d; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">A while back on Facebook and instagram I posted the following picture.</span><br />

<span style="color: #38761d; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #38761d; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #38761d; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">All this little packages were gifts for my friend Joyce for her 60th birthday. I made her 60 tiny pieces of artwork. Each package contained 10 images. I did a series of 10 images for each of her ten years on this planet. And each of the series were a different media and theme.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: #38761d; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I have loads of fun making these...I put no pressure on myself and I just did what I wanted to do. Joyce is a textile artist and makes art quilts so I knew the theme of making and sewing would be part of the images I made.</span><br />
<span style="color: #38761d; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #38761d; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">So here is the first set. I have loads of buttons in my studio and I remembered I had saved some vintage button cards. I did a series of flower images on the button cards using what else... embroidery and buttons. She loved them. And I had so much fun making them that I decided to make to sell in my Etsy just in time for holiday shopping. <a href="https://www.etsy.com/shop/lindasolovic">https://www.etsy.com/shop/lindasolovic</a> The button cards will sell for $15 and should be up for sale tomorrow in the shop. Here are the flower button cards I did for Joyce. Tomorrow I will post the Etsy button cards that are going to be for sale</span><br />
<span style="color: #38761d; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #38761d; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Oh and by the way there are only eight cards. I changed two of them at the last minute and forgot to take a pic of them.</span><br />

<span style="color: #274e13; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I was at the store the other day looking for a case for my new iPhone. Lot’s of cases out there to buy, but I just couldn’t find one that spoke to me. </span><br />
<span style="color: #274e13; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #274e13; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">When I returned home, case-less, I talked to my husband, Gary, about my dilemma. Gary said he thought my art would be perfect for iPhone cases. I must admit, I agree. Gary then spent the next hour in his studio mocking up iPhone case designs using my artwork. They are so cute! I thought I would share with you the results.</span><br />

<span style="color: #38761d; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Hello everyone, it’s been a while since I last posted a blog. I’m sorry for the delay, and I promise to be much better about blogging.</span><br />
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="color: #38761d; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="color: #38761d; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I thought in my first return blog, I would talk about a new product I’ve designed, that is out in the market place. I designed some art poles for gardens. These art poles were done for a really great client, Studio M, a division of Magnet Works. You can check out my poles and other poles at the Magnet Works website, </span><span style="color: #45818e; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">http://www.magnetworks.com/p-3748-wonderful-world-pole-grdn-s3-asst.aspx?EID=1219&EN=Category#.VDWQ00vqVFw </span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="color: #38761d; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="color: #38761d; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Earlier this summer I was excited when I received my samples. There are 3 poles sizes, 3', 4' and 5' tall. They are super cute. I had my very talented daughter, Anna Karpinski, document me opening up the box and installing the art poles. Check out the images below and thanks for visiting my blog.</span></div>

<div style="font: normal normal normal 13px/normal Helvetica; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #3d85c6;">After graduating from college, an opportunity in marketing and sales presented itself and she responded and found herself immersed in the creative, but mostly practical business side of the greeting card and gift industries. Here she quickly discovered a keen understanding and appreciation of the ‘art’ of doing business. </span></div>
<br />
<div style="font: 13.0px Helvetica; margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #3d85c6;">As Vice President at Determined Productions, Inc., representing Felix the Cat and Peanuts to name a few, she moved to Schurman Fine Papers (now Papyrus) as Director of Licensing. In 2002, she bravely opened her own agency and continues to maintain (still bravely) a talented roster of artists while also consulting with emerging </span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #3d85c6;">and seasoned artists on growing their business. Devoted to finding and matching an artist with the perfect product or line, Sheila is relentless in helping her artists and striving to make the world be a better and more artistic place to live. </span></div>

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #38761d; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Summer is finally drawing to a close and I must say I am happy to see it go. I would not say this was a a great summer and the last month has been very busy and hard. My knee is getting better due to physical therapy with my wonderful therapist Missy Yaeger. I am back at school with some wonderful students. But I miss Annie who is back at MCAD in her own apartment and with her own car this year. Something else has changed in my world. I will let you listen in on a conversation Gary and I had recently.</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #38761d; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #cc0000; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Gary: Linda, you realize that the basement has filled up again. I am having a horrible time getting around in it, there are things everywhere. If I did not know better I would swear you never had a sale of any of your stuff. I know that you did because I was roped into working that sale.</span><br />
<div style="font: 12.0px Helvetica; margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #3d85c6; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: small;">Linda: What can I say… I like to pump money into the economy and have new treasures in my home. And when I clean out my studio because it gets too crowded then I have to take those excess items from my studio and put it in the basement.</span></div>
<div style="font: 12.0px Helvetica; margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #cc0000; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: small;">Gary: You know you could just not shop for anything more.</span></div>
<div style="font: 12.0px Helvetica; margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #3d85c6; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: small;">Linda: Me…not buy bargains…not junk with Marie on Saturday…I hate to tell you this but that is not going to happen. It is in my blood. You just need to understand that living with me means you will have a lot of doodads and trinkets in your house. </span></div>
<div style="font: 12.0px Helvetica; margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #cc0000; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: small;">Gary: I get that but I would like to not have to worry about breaking my leg tripping over some box with patina on it.</span></div>
<div style="font: 12.0px Helvetica; margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #3d85c6; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: small;">Linda: Okay,okay, I will do something about it.</span></div>
<div style="font: 12.0px Helvetica; margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px; min-height: 14.0px;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #38761d; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: small;"><br /></span>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #38761d; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: small;">Later in the month</span></div>
<div style="font: 12.0px Helvetica; margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px; min-height: 14.0px;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #3d85c6; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: small;">Linda: GARY..GARY guess what?</span></div>
<div style="font: 12.0px Helvetica; margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #cc0000; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: small;">Gary: Whatever it is, I do not want it hear about it if it costs any money.</span></div>
<div style="font: 12.0px Helvetica; margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #3d85c6; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: small;">Linda: The Green Shag Market just called me and I finally am going to have a booth at their antique mall. I can sell all my excess stuff there. No need for another sale in the house. I will have to pay a booth fee but with all the items I am going to sell I will be able to pay the fee and make a profit.</span></div>

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #3d85c6; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: small;">Linda: I have great stuff….I will be the place to go for vintage fabric and trim, old magazines, crafting supplies, trinkets, embellishments, ephemera, greeting cards and all sorts of funky odd stuff I no longer have on display in our house and my studio. My friends, my students and all the DYIers in St. Louis can come to my booth to get supplies. That will mean no more trips to Hobby Lobby for them.</span></div>

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #38761d; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">When I last left you I had just finished </span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #38761d; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Week 3 of Lilla’s Make Art That Sells class. The next week the topic was Wall Art. I have had some stabs at wall art, even some interest from IKEA but was never able to get anything going. That is until last winter. Sheila sent my work to Oopsy Daisy <a href="http://www.oopsydaisy.com/">www.oopsydaisy.com</a>..the kids wall art company and they picked 5 of my images to produce as wall art. And as a bonus..we were so excited...they also plan to produce the same images in 11 other areas including wall decals, jewelry, clocks. place mats, growth charts, nightlights and holiday orn</span>a<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #38761d; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">ments. And the best part..they picked the note card images of the birds and owls I did for Papyrus. I am thrilled about this!</span><br />

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #38761d; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">So when it was W</span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #38761d; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">all Art week in class I thought great...I can easily knock this one out of the park. So I got up on Monday and read the assignment...and went ugh! Lilla wanted us to do an abstract piece of wall art using paint and textures. So not up my alley. I knew I should give it a try and for a day I played with the idea of it. But mostly I could not wrap my head around it. Then I talked to my rep and my husband and I realized that I have been working as an artist for a long time. I have put in my 10,000 hours. I have painted, made all kinds of different work, experimented with different kinds of media and after lots and lots of artwork finally settled on a style that was me, it looked the way I thought and liked to make images. So I needed to do this project by incorporating the parts of the project that would work with how I made images. In the assignment we needed to make a collage...duh I could so do that, the collage needed to have floral elements in it...so okay with that and it needed to have a quote in it...not really me but I could do it. So I got out my paper and scissors along with the boxes of ephemera I have in the basement (knew I was saving it for something) and made some collages. I made the first two using floral motifs and the last one is my favorite because I did it with a bird. Here they are. I am very happy with them and plan to sell them on my Etsy site.</span><br />

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #38761d; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">We then went to Week 5..Gift Products. For the first two days of the week we were to photographs our collections and post them on facebook for all the other artists in the class to see. Gee...do I have any collections? I had so much to post I could not stop. Met lots of other artists who also have big collections so I did not feel so bad about all I had. The assignment came on Wednesday and we were to take something from our collections and make a hyperlush zipper pouch with them. Now what is </span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #38761d; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">hyperlush you are thinking....here are some examples.</span><br />

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #38761d; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">All of these examples are from Blue Q <a href="http://www.blueq.com/">http://www.blueq.com</a> Blue Q is a fabulous site for all kinds of products that are so well designed and illustrated. The artist who did the Peacock Pouch is Catalina Estrada and artist who did the pencil case is from Marcela Restrepo.</span><br />

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #38761d; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I must admit that this project did not excite me. I had had minor knee surgery on Tuesday of that week and I realized I just was not up for doing this project. It was the Fourth of July weekend and I needed a break. So I passed on doing the assignment an instead sat at my desk and worked on a quilt I am making for Gary.</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #38761d; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I had a great time meeting all sorts of wonderful artists that were also taking the class. I also learned a bunch of new stuff from the course I plan to share with my students. It was a good experience and in October I will do the second part of the ecourse in which we do editorial art, kids apparel, party paper, paper products and scrapbooking. If you want to join in Part B go to Lilla Rogers School.<a href="http://lillarogers.com/make-art-that-sells">http://lillarogers.com/make-art-that-sells</a></span></div>

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #38761d; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">These weeks of classes with Lilla are really intense. Even I, a seasoned veteran ...with a licensing rep...who teaches university students...is feeling insecure showing my work..even making work. Last week, when I attempted...and you are reading right..attempted making dinner plate artwork using the plant and pod images I showed in the last blog post I ended up crying in Gary’s studio that I could not seem to pick colors for my plate. I could not get those images to work no matter what I did so at the last minute I went back to my studio, used cut paper and made the following plate. </span><br />

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #38761d; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I solved the problem and people liked it but I was not happy with it really...I feel I would have done better using a circular shape and making my pods come off the edges of the plate and flow into the center. I plan to go back and revisit this project but for now I am leaving it alone.</span><br />
<br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #38761d; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Last week we did the kids book market. I have worked on kids books before. I have a ying and yang feeling about them....I would like to do preschool kids books like an alphabet book or a counting books...books where I could make simple strong images. But to do a whole picture book...not sure I want to do that. I worked on a full book for Klutz many years ago with a fabulous art director, Lynn Garrett. The title was Hunt for Harvey. It was like a Where’s Waldo book where each spread would have tons of stuff in it and you needed to find Harvey. The book went back and forth for almost six months. I had woefully underbid it and when the book was finally cancelled I was really happy. Never thought I would say that...my childhood dream was to illustrate kids books...but I wanted to have no more of the kids book market.</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #38761d; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #38761d; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">But I have changed my mind about this..it is now 6 years later...and I went into Lilla’s kid book week with gusto. Our mini assignment given on Monday was to make a snail ...use different emotions, draw snails with charm, whimsy...make a snail with character. Oh boy, I love to make animal characters! And if I was going to make one character how about 2...the snail should have a sidekick...I love to make sidekicks...the title of the book was to be The Snail and The Rose Tree....I would change the title to The Snail and Rosie...my sidekick would be Rosie. So I made Rosie the worlds tiniest dog..a ladybug...all sorts of things. Here are my snails.</span><br />

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #38761d; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Why I did not think to go online and goggle the title to see if was a story I will never know. When the assignment was posted on Wednesday I reeled with horror....the story The Snail and The Rose Tree was by Han Christian Andersen and in it the snail was a real gloomy gus...and the story had no room for sidekicks. I needed to rethink what I was going to do. We were to do a cover or a spread. We also had to do the title in handwritten type.</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #38761d; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #38761d; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">In the story the rose tree was full of life and did many things each seasons for others...the snail did nothing but complain all her life. So I made a big rose tree with lots of life in it and a gloomy snail with a season chart on her shell to show no matter the season she stayed the same. And since we had worked with mushrooms in the first project for Lilla and pod flowers in the second project for Lilla I put those in as a little nod to those projects. I was very happy with the result. Here it is:</span><br />

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #38761d; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">This week is Wall Decor week and for our mini assignment we are to gather collage materials...paper, ephemera, we can paint grids and make textures which will all lead to making some type of collage that is abstract. There is a color palette we are to work with...I am in the group of the color palette of orange and blue...not bad but my color choice would be green and pink. We can also use all neutrals. I do not need to do any gathering of materials...I have so much stuff I know I should have what I will need.</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #38761d; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Check back next week to see what I have done.</span></div>

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #38761d; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">If you have been reading my blog you know I am taking an ecourse from Lilla Rogers, a top licensing agent. I am enjoying the class, learning much and I especially enjoy talking to all the other students on a closed facebook page for everyone in the class. So much talent all in one spot, seeing so many different ways to do the same assignment. That part is a little intimidating but I am enjoying it none the less. </span><br />

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #38761d; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Last week’s assignment was to sketch mushrooms and vintage pyrex casseroles and then put them into a pattern that would be used for fabric. We also had to have two coordinating patterns. Here is what I did last week. Some of you will have seen this since I did post this image on facebook. We are supposed to move beyond what we normally do so I went with a neutral background...a very dark grey and bright poppy colors. Here it is:</span><br />

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #38761d; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">This week we are exploring home decor. We were to sketch seeds, succulents and pods. We got our assignment today and we are going to use our images to design dinner plates. Since we were going to do floral stuff I decided to break away from cut paper and try ink and rubber stamps. Here are my sketches. Look I used black!</span><br />

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #38761d; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Now I have to decide how I am going to put them on plates. I have gotten some inspiration from looking at mid century modern dishware and have decided on some different designs. We are to design 2-4 plates and then pick our favorite plate to post. Check back later in the week for the finished piece.</span></div>

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #38761d; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">The Mirror Ball Dot Hop has come to an end. It has been fun and the projects that the other bloggers have made have been wonderful. </span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #38761d; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Last weeks contributor was Nanette Zeller <a href="http://www.NanetteSewZ.com/">http://www.NanetteSewZ.com</a>. Her project thrilled me...first off it was a plush then to top it off she made a fish...I love to draw and make fish..I have fish plushes in the works right now. She did an absolutely lovely job and I wish I could win her pieces...here they are. And what better fabric to make a fish but the Mirror Ball dot fabric...adds just the right amount of shimmer. So if you are in a mood to make a plush go to Nanette’s blog to see how to make these fish.</span><br />

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #38761d; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">This week I am off to school so to speak. I am taking an on line course from Lilla Rogers <a href="http://lillarogers.com/">http://lillarogers.com</a> who is a top licensing agent. The course is going to be about designing and illustrating images for licensed products We will be learning about all the different licensing avenues. This week we are learning about bolt fabric. I will be sharing the images of the work I do for the class...yeah this work will not be confidential so I can share it. There are tons of people in the class and there are several people I have met and know so that will be fun also. And I am looking forward to getting to know everyone else taking the class although there are at least 350 people in the class so this might prove to be daunting. Flora Chang from Happy Doodle Land <a href="http://happydoodleland.com/">http://happydoodleland.com</a>, Julie Reed <a href="http://altpick.com/juliereed">http://altpick.com/juliereed</a> and Sarah Walsh.<a href="http://unicornpoo.blogspot.com/">http://unicornpoo.blogspot.com</a> <span id="goog_1708573578"></span><span id="goog_1708573579"></span><a href="http://www.blogger.com/"></a>I wish I lived in Kansas City because so many fabulous illustrators live there.</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #38761d; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #38761d; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">First assignment is to sketch mushroom and vintage pyrex dishes. This will be fun for me. I will show my progress as soon as I make something.</span><br />

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #38761d; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I am behind in my posting for the Mirror Ball Blog Hop. Last week my mom had to have a pacemaker put in. The decision to have the pacemaker put in happened quickly so off to the hospital she went. She is back home and doing well. She can finally shower today...this makes her very happy and she is able to drive. For those of you who know my mom, this is a big thing. She loves to go out everyday and she is still a very good driver considering she is 83 years old.</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #38761d; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #38761d; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">So this week I am going to blog about last weeks Mirror Ball Dot Blog Hop artist as well as this week. </span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #38761d; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">So lets begin.</span><br />

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #38761d; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Last week Elisa Albury was the weeks blog post. She made a lovely quilt with the fabric. I must admit the Mirror Ball Dot fabric looks beautiful with everything you make with it. Elisa chose colors I do not normally work with but the results were stunning. Have a look for yourself.</span><br />

Again I was blown away by what Dory made. She chose a bright poppy color palette of the Mirror Ball Dot fabric and made a hat. What a fun use of the fabric....perfect for the summer season. Here is a pic of her hat.</span></span><br />
