Heather Eddy Art

It has been the most beautiful week here. We've had lots of rain and the sky has been full of heavy, fat clouds. The grass if finally growing in again so the yards are colorful... (of course, it means we have to mow again, but oh well...) I've been busy working a lot and going through my mom-in-law's library. Our front room, my art room and the hallway are all stacked with piles of weird books - most of them out-of-date reference manuals that have been no use to anyone for the last 20 years. Brian's sister is the type of person who wants to save anything associated with her mom. That means we are bringing the books here to our house before we dispose of them to the library or the dumpster. We're being careful to riffle the pages of each book because Joan was notorious for hiding things in the pages. So far we've found hundreds of newspaper clippings, recipes, letters and three dollar bills. Still, you never know what you're going to find... I made a f...

Don't go into shock, but here is April's pattern! With Easter only a week away, you need this pattern now. It's a very simple pattern and what makes it special is that you can decorate the eggs just the way you want to for your home. I used simple inks to paint the colors on the edges of the pages. You can use stamp/ink pads, stickers, glitter or embellishments to decorate your eggs. Make them (wait for it) EGGS-actly how you want them... Thank you. Thank you verra much. Just click on the picture below and print it out fer yerself.

Here is March's free folded book pattern - ONLY 26 DAYS LATE!!!! Thank you. Thank you very much... This is a crown pattern, one that will be useful for all those princesses, princes and royal whatevers you have in your life. Enjoy! Click on the above image to print out and make one for yourself!

For several weeks now, my mother in law has been ill. The last time she went into the hospital it was decided to stop taking extreme measures and let her live out the rest of her life at home with hospice. I was fortunate enough to be able to stay the night with her a couple of times to help out. This morning she died. I went over to the house (they only live a mile away) to be with the rest of the family until the mortuary could come pick her up. She looked so peaceful there on the couch. I looked at my mom-in-law and felt such gratitude to have known her. She really loved me and I knew it. It feels so good to be loved without any thought of having to earn it or pay for it. Good-bye, Joan. I love you. I bet you are having the time of your... real life? right now...

Here is the completed special order for my customer who asked if I could copy this . Because I don't really like to copy, but to do one better, we decided on a different font. The picture I showed a few days ago was my first draft and didn't have enough pages in the book to make the curl at the end. THIS ONE DID!!!! And it looks so nice to my eyes. I'm quite proud of this Read and feel that it captures how I feel about the word. Now, to do this month's free pattern. ONLY 17 days late so far!!!

This morning I finished up my last orders and took them to the post office... I can't wait to see how the next step of my life goes with the folded books. :)
