Applique fabric art, dogs in clothes; my sister’s obsession with her chihuahua…
My sister keeps posting photos of Chihuahua’s dressed in clothes on Facebook. I offered to make an outfit for her tiny pup, but she said “Millie won’t wear clothes.” I also offered to start a therapy group, if need should arise… My next best offer was art. If you need fashion, you need fashion! Millie…

Bruiser Cow
I try to paint, or sew or otherwise “create” every week. The few hours dabbling with color, texture and mixed media is reward for the 40 hours in my chair at work with data and numbers. I do love color. I try to incorporate it whenever possible. This week, my challenge I gave myself was to…
