    This (or something pretty close to it) is going to be the cover for the album I’m working on. This is a really difficult process. It is hard to step out and do something you’ve never done before, even when you really want to. Sometimes there is nothing and no one to encourage you, other times encouragement comes freely. It is a shaky and uncertain venture. I have to keep forcing myself to move ahead, though I hear voices saying it’s pointless, why am I even trying to accomplish this…

    Heidi wanted to record this song that she likes with me. It’s “One Thing Remains”. I love to hear little munchkin voices singing worship.

    A while ago my mom and I painted a peacock on the glass panels of an old door that we installed going from our dining room to a powder room. Jason and I remodeled our kitchen this year, and we had a door just like it going into the laundry room, which is always a mess. Since our kitchen now looks nice, I got tired of looking at the laundry room through it and painted the door. Then I scraped half of it off with a razor blade and painted it again. I think I like it now? Not sure yet. The peacock was so much easier because I ripped the design off of a tshirt. I made this one up myself, wanting to keep the same style but a different picture. So here it is…for now.

    My sewing room is about to be occupied as living quarters for my brother’s family in moving transition, so I got really motivated the other night to finish up some unfinished projects. Heidi is in Elephant Dress, which is for sale as a sewing kit at Mamma Made Designs. Elsie is in a dress that was a collaboration between me and Rachel Galloway. This is the only good photo I got, in between the bug-bite scratching and nose picking.

    Here is my Old Worlds Bird dress on Elsie. Size 5. I can’t help being inspired by my Slovak heritage. I’ve always loved their artwork and traditional dress. Coming soon, this will be available as a sewing kit at Mamma Made designs.
