I just love the saying on this print from The Dreamy Giraffe.
"Happily ever afters almost always have humble beginnings"
It reminds me to work from my heart. Sometimes the things that are the most fun for us to create happen when we are just putzing around...playing....being serendipitous...working with bits of old, bits of new, mixing the familiar with the strangely off-beat.
That's how I came up with this.
An eyeglasses case.
It's my first adventure into mixing altered art with rug hooking. *~*Bits of old.....wool worms from old projects.*~*
~~Familiar....rug hooking~~
+*+StRaNgLeY oFfBeAt...incorporating them into one project+*+
I love the picture of the dolls eyes....it's a reminder to me to try and look at things with the eyes of a child.
!Be full of wonderment!
!Don't hide your joy!
!LOOK!
I had to start wearing reading glasses this past year.....to me it's a constant reminder that I don't see as well as I used to (or as the optometrist said "you're just getting older"). It's an inconvenience that really annoys me, but I'm trying to put a positive spin on it....YAY...another accessory!
As my husband says....just think of how many things you could accomplish if so much of your brain space wasn't taken up by accessorizing!!!
Go forth and be creative,
Tammy
These darling eyeglass cases are just toooo cute!

(LOLOL! now i'm singin!!) And i'm sure you chose some FUN frames for different moods - am i right?! :D
