    T Tuesday: cold collage edition

    Hello and welcome to a snowy and cold edition of T stands for Tuesday. We were lucky enough to have a two hour late start for school Monday morning. It still remains to be seen what will happen later this week as the Polar Vortex invades Minnesota. We might end up with a “cold day” instead of a “snow day”….it’s happened before. If it does I’ll have plenty of time to continue making my mini collages. I can’t STOP!!!!

    I honestly can’t stop…I have a quart baggie filled with them already.

    It seems like the more frayed and full of strings the more I love them.

    These ones will work quite nicely for a Christmas theme.

    These are a bit more subdued in color scheme. So fun!!

    I began to write this post before work this morning since we had our two hour late start. Right at the end of the school day we got the news that we are off for at least the next two days!!! They are watching the temps for Thursday as well. I’m so happy!!! The thought of being out in that cold and trying to start my vehicle in -30°F (-34.4°C) temp after it has been sitting out in the -50°F (-45.5°C) wind chills (or lower) made me want to cry. Instead I’ll be home drinking lots of tea….
    while exercising my creativity. 🙂 And probably some Netflix. LOL
    What are you doing today?

    Mini collage time

    Ok I think I’m a little obsessed again. I’ve been creating tons of mini collage pieces.

    While making embellishments for my December Daily I rediscovered my love of fabric and paper collage at my sewing machine.

    I haven’t made any of these in a very long time. Likely since I made them for the article I wrote for Sew Somerset. Of course my style has changed since then a bit but that’s to be expected. We shouldn’t stagnate in our creativity in my opinion. 

    These blue ones make me want to created a winter theme journal or set of greeting cards.Although these I think are my favorite. I love the pop of orange along with the teal and blue.

    Trust me you haven’t seen the last of these pieces…
