Harley Summer



Now on to the next big thing this last two weeks. Shane got a Harley 1200 low rider. I am really happy for him. Kristi is learning to ride too. He is taking his time riding every day when he can.


Finally getting back on computer after summer boating and biking. First off, Shane is home on 2 weeks leave from Korea. Here is one of the largest, not completely the largest but one of the many Pacific salmon he caught. he is so happy to be fishing

Honda Shadow 600


I am now the proud owner of a new Honda Shadow 600. It has been over 20 years since I had a street bike and now with gas prices going so high, its time to get back to two wheels. Dirt bikes, (3 wheelers) were my entertainment in the 20 years but going back to pavement and street bike is a large adjustment. But it sure is fun while saving money

Another postcard exchange was to come up with an abstract. So, just turning 50 I thought why not do the abstract on objects that are in my life up to this point. Ice cream is number one. My first car was a green Volskwagen Beatle, Red purse and hat for turning 50 (Red Hat lady) Window is for the future and past. The background fabric is waves / water because I would rather be on the water than land.

Deep Blue Sea



This is a postcard I had to make for a Deep Blue Sea exchange. No fish or sea creatures. I put tiny sea shells from Cape Hatteras, NC that I had gathered up in Dec 07 while on vacation. The fabric is blue silk that has been folded and stitched w/ blue and greet lame' to represent waves and movement. I then stamped a light house over top this and it gave a kind of foggy/ distant look and finlly stitched different trims to represent seaweeds.

Bookmark trade



Here are pictures of my bookmark trade from Fiber Arts Trader. Mine I traded are left over fabric pieces from my Crazy quilt lady Quilt that Patti, Lynn and I made. They are great for bookmarks. I used a piece of decorative trim tape for the top tab and one has yarns with fabric beads.
