Can Anyone Help?

Can anyone help me download images to my blog?  For years I have been able to.  Now?  No.  All my blogs are locked down, except for words.  No images.  I have send dozens of emails to blogger, and no one will reply.  I am really frustrated.

Stuck

Blogspot has some sort of glitch with my downloading images.  Their techies have yet to reply to a dozen requests for assistance.  Daily they are receiving multiple requests for help from me.  So far nothing.

Worst case scenario:  another server.  This would entail lots of work, and hoping people will find me again.  I will announce on each of the 15 blogs I have, where the new location is, should it come to that.  I hope not!  I have a full university schedule, and so far, Blogspot has been wonderful.

Please be patient, and maybe this will be resolved.

Advancement, Results

If I walk forward, where I am intended to walk, I end up with results I like.  Here are some results.

I am Creating

If you dropped by to see what is new, I am busy creating it.  Please come back and check it out later.  There is always something exciting being created in my studio.  Gobs of them are fiber art.

If you want to see other outstanding fiber and mixed-medial artists, check out FAMM.

This is the photoshopped image of fabric on the ironing board.  I played with it in many colorways.






You should see what this has become.  When I get a chance, I will show you how it came out in fiber art.  It is called Mother and Child.








This little bug is something I have been drawing for many, many years.  As always, it signals, "Gotta run.  Lots to do.  It has been nice seeing you."

Pics Rather Than Words

Packing rather than talking.  Here is what I have seen this morning and what I have done.  Creativity is as simple as what is quick and at hand.

Good Morning

Good morning.  The rain has let up in Jacksonville.  We are high and dry, and are amazed at what Tropical Storm Debby has done.  The sun is out for the next seven days, and we will even near 100 degrees this weekend.  With the humidity, it will be a doozy.  I am used to this, coming from the Texas Hill Country.  Hi Texas!  Miss you and yours lots.

All the rain has had me busy with needle and thread.  Nothing is ready for final pictures, but I do take them in progress.  I enjoy the documentation, and if ever needed in a court, I am ready.  I did get a couple of canvases gessoed.  They are blank.  We shall see what the weekend nets.

Among the needle arts I have been quilting on a fish quilt, appliqueing tea pots in two sizes, working on some more Sun Bonnet Sue blocks, and lots of embroidery.   Here are some sneak peaks at what is in store for completion.  Many were started before, and am picking them up again to move closer to the finish line.  Some are new.


This is the original, needle turn, applique block I wanted to submit to 100 Blocks Magazine.  It was far too complicated, and is now a block waiting for further developements.  Next time I do these, they will be yellow flowers on a black and white gingham.  Great use of scraps.  Wait until you see the raw edge Bluebonnet applique I just dug out to work on too.





This little tea pot, and the one below are from an old pattern called Nancy's Teapot.  I enlarged it to make a 9" block with the buttonhole applique above.  I will create several in long columns, with a variety of teal backings which read solid. 

The thread used here is a varigated by DMC.  It definately picked up every color in the spot batik.  Perfect.  I have found 2 other fabrics to add to this.  I do not know what will end up around the 3 columns.  When more teapots are ready, then it will time to shop the stash and figure that out.  Ironically, this is a Jacksonville Jaguars color scheme.  Not a sport fan myself, someone is sure to key in on this here, lol.

The one below is one an background to create a mock 9 patch.  The little teapot isn't more than 3" tall.  I am still finding all the fabrics for the miniature.  I am up to 6 so far.  They are all cream prints.
