Anyway, I still like art and culture, and that is the one part of the city I miss. Thank goodness the hills are also alive with very artistic people, and I am lucky to know a bunch of them.
My friend and co-worker made me this beautiful feathered ornament for the holidays.
If she weren't already my friend, I would probably hate her just on the basis that her legs are twelve miles long and have zero percent fat, but she is actually a wonderful person whose company I enjoy.
Another friend who is amazing with her contagious creativity, is my friend at DishyPosh. She is making fabulous hats such as this one...
I almost want to renew my wedding vows just so I would have an occasion to wear this beauty.
The nice thing about knowing ladies like this is that they help inspire me quit whining about being busy and soul sucking requirements of life and instead to get busy with my own creative efforts. So, I made this simple fleece hat...
I'm working on a fancier turban style a la Elizabeth Taylor. I just need a big sparkly brooch or something to bejewel the front. I'll be on the hunt for something at the thrift store this week, and hope to have it done soon, but here's the preliminary results...
Love the turban! Thanks for including me in your post-and don't worry I have NEVER thought of you as a hill billy:-)

I like the turban! I found you through homesteading carnival and am a new follower!
ReplyDeleteWe also live on a farm and are staring a vineyard in west TX. With 10 children there is never a dull moment! It is so easy to forget ourselves and our creative side when confronted with daily activities!
Thanks ladies!
ReplyDeleteDimes2Vines- 10 kids and a vineyard sounds like some great adventures!
