Listen...do you want to know a secret?

I have been creating my faeries for over 10 years now, and they have been teaching me all along the way, only, I did not realize it...sometimes lessons just lay quietly in the garden of your heart until you are ready...

for them to sprout and grow.........

(sorry the above picture is sideways!)
A gnome mine!

sometimes, you just need to get real quiet and...

Listen within for the message that your soul is longing for ....

Sometimes, the messages come in the form of a dream.....

(look at her cute hat!)

Remember, the seeds you plant in your heart...

take root in your soul...so, plant good ones!

I love the act of searching for the perfect text I put on some of my faeries...I find it very meditative...one of many lessons.......

on my Soul Journey.....

Sometimes taking the first step is scary, but, the rewards are great in knowing that you can accomplish what you set out to do..... the path may wind around a bit and have some detours along the way......

But, it is all a part of the lesson.....

Just remember to ....

Shine your Light and Believe in Miracles!

I did not think we would be doing shows anymore...but, I need to listen to my faeries more often...a miracle happened today...my son, Kyle, and 3 of his friends are making the 4 hour drive to Pasco, Wa. to help me and Lar set up for the show. We will be at the Custers Art and Craft Show on March 26, -28th...if you are in the area, please pop by for a hug!

Introducing..."Sweet Feets"

I know I have been a MIA lately.....alot has been going on in the Sohn Home. Some of you know about my dear husband Larry and what he is going thru in his battle with cancer. We found out on my birthday (Feb. 9th) that the chemo was not working..and that the tumors had grown in both lungs. We were devastated as you can imagine. But, my hubby, my hero, my motorcycle man says, "Ok..what is the next step in my healing"... he is now doing clinical trials and is doing well. I ask for your continued prayers and good thoughts...Thank You!

Now on to "Sweet Feets"......
This creation has literally saved me.....I really thought I was gonna loose my mind and my creativity, but, somehow this wee birdie flew into my heart and demanded to be let loose! Check out those toes!.....These feet were made fore walkin....sorry, that song just popped into my head...anyway....

Notice the painted toes and ankle bracelet!!! Click on the pictures for a closer look!


lots of techniques in creating the wing....I have done many styles.....I use vintage text..hand painted vintage laces and trims...rhinestones.....

oops.....don't know why the above pic is sideways....this is the mama and her baby

this gal is goin to the chapel and she's gonna get married.....(another song...i am thinking in songs all of a sudden! jeesh!)

She is covered in glitter...and I used some of the yummy fabric ,covered with tiny seed beads, that I bought from Amusements recently....its really old and lovely!...hmmm.....should her name be "Lovey"...didn't the rich guy on Gillians Isle call his wife that?...can't remember his name. dang it!

love the vintage swirly pin on this one!...maybe her name should be "Swirly Sweet Feets"!

This is the other side of "Swirly"...tee-hee...I am makin this all up as i go.....

So, this gal has a piece of a flower from a vintage hat on her head..looks like a Plume...so, guess what her name is?

I have some on a block (I was thinking of calling the collection "Birds on the Block", but, some of them are free standing, so that didn't "fly") oh, I crack myself up! Anyway, the blocks are covered with vintage velvet and trims and original text from old books.....

more of that yummy fabric adorns the corner of this block...love the tail feathers on this one..."Shake a tail feather,yea, yea"....oh, sorry..where was I? Oh, I think her name is ...all together now..."Feather"!

So, I was thinking....I would like to start teaching classes.....I think this would be a great one, what do you think?

Heart Hugs,

Love is....

Well, the One World One Heart...give away is over..and gifts are winging their way all over the world... but, i have been pondering my query of what Love is....

it is many things to many people..family...holding hands...chocolate!...never having to think of what to say...everything....everlasting.......

and Forever.......

Heart Hugs,

Love is...Comforting and is a winner!

At first, I thought,hmmmmm...not everyone played by the "rules"...I guess I am a rule follower....so, I was not going to put anyones name in the pot to draw if the did not answer my "rule"...I asked that people who chose to comment on the One Heart giveaway to finish the sentence..."Love is...." not everyone did...makes me think they just zipped thru posting comments without reading....but, then I thought, at least they took the time to comment...so, I relented and put everyones name in....and I drew...Martha's!.. I just chuckled to myself when I saw her name..you see, I know Martha!!! She lives in Oregon, too.....now here is the interesting thing...I thought, well, let me see who would've won if i just drew from the names that answered Love is...and you guessed it...out came Martha's name again! Love is Comforting.....yes, it sure is!

Heart Hugs,

Mossy Walk

He said "Wanna go for a walk?" She said "Ok, let me grab the camera, I want to take some pictures of Moss!" He just shakes his head and smiles...he knows me so well. So I put on my tennis shoes...... and he grabs my hand.....and we are off on our adventure!

ok, I had to sneek another hand shot in...the picture below is our hands in cement..there is moss in the picture, tho! (we are missing Kyle...he was still a twinkle in our hearts)...Coral was about 2 yrs old when we did this (she is almost 28 now!) She did not like getting dirty! Dales handprint has moss growing in it - he was going thru a phase when he wanted to spell his name Dael...I cherish this lump of cement!

oh my...I love mossy rocks...it seems as tho we are under going a moss explosion here in Oregon. Not good on roofs, tho!!!

Mossy bricks.......I love how it is creeping along the grooves..

Oh, a treasure in the moss!!...hmmm........this would make a great hanger for a project I am working on!!

Buds about to burst open..it feels like spring...and new beginnings!

Heart Hugs,
