I Know It's Been a Long Time...

but is anyone feeling up to a good old fashioned Halloween Matchbox Swap?

Steampunk? Why not?

I don't dislike steampunk

but it's not my favorite style.

However my partner in a recent

altered altoids tin swap

requested steampunk.

So I dug through my stash of "things"

and found old keys

and wings

and gears

and arrows 

and crowns

and other assorted doo dads.

And this is what I came up with.

That's an actual 3 dimensional

copper and glass case

glued in on the left.

Always exciting to step out of the comfort zone

and spread your wings!

I would like to thank all my visitors

who took the time to leave such kind and comforting

words of encouragement.

All of this...

creating, blogging

is a struggle for me right now.

I feel the need to push myself though

to maintain some level of life as I knew it.

Your friendship means the world to me.

Prayer Flags

Hello dear blog friends.

I'm not certain there are any of you left out there

given my infrequent posts but I'm 

hoping some of you are.

I have undergone 2 surgeries to my eye

and the healing process is not going well

so I am out of work

struggling along on disability.

My muse has been hiding during most

of this process.

But when she was present, creating

prayer flags seemed a therapeutic outlet.

Thank you for visiting.

I truly have missed blogland!
