~~~I've moved to www.halleshobbies.com ~~~
I'm an artist and SAHM from the upper mid-west. In addition to my passion for paper art and mixed-media; I enjoy sewing, painting, photography, jewelry making and gardening. I love finding ways to reuse, re-purpose and recycle everyday items into art or other basic utilitarian objects.
I'm working at getting back to the basics: healthy food, reduced chemical load in our home, exercise and spending time with family.
This photo comes to you from Iowa. Looks like they were taking a bit of a break...kickin' back and enjoying a few moments. Always a good idea once in a while.
Well, lookie here...I'm right on time with my July dress for the Dress-up Project!
When I think July, I think Independence Day, hot & sunny days, picnics and time with family. What would a fashionable girl wear for that? A Patriotic sundress, of course.
Entry # 2 I just signed up to follow your blog and noticed that in addition to the AB group, we're both enjoying Leah's 2010 challenge to be Creative Every Day :)
It's still June and my dress is complete! Now I'm all caught up with the other gals in the Dress-up Project.
I wanted a very full skirt for this one. I drew a circle with a dinner plate on a shirt that I had already scavenged the sleeves off for wine bottle gift bags. It took some tricky sewing to get the skirt attached to the top. But, of course, the black lace trim covers my poor sewing job.
