I cooked more food this weekend then I have in the last 4 months combined!
but I took a little break yesterday to create my first ever banner :)
I am happy how it turned out, I was going to make a departure from my own style and try something new but I gave myself a 2 hour time limit to make this so I had to stick to what I know.
This is for a bird them swap hosted by Tammie Moore and Mrs Moore her self is my partner :)
Felt and altered fibers along with hidden elements and papers along with machine quilting comprise this banner,
I really want one for myself!
I hope Tammie likes it :)
now I am off to make some jewelry for the book "A Charming Exchange"... its so hard to believe that I only 8 weeks to get 40 pieces of jewelry completed for this project! I am a dreamer at heart and a procrastinator till the end! but I always get my work done by my dead lines! so its off to work I go! :)

Weird-Bird by Shel Silverstein
Birds are flyin' south for winter.
Here's the Weird-Bird headin' north,
Wings a-flappin', beak a-chatterin',
Cold head bobbin' back 'n' forth.
He says, "It's not that I like ice
Or freezin' winds and snowy ground.
It's just sometimes it's kind of nice
To be the only bird in town."

Magnifique !! j'adore ce que vous faites !
OH MY GOD MOMENT!!!
Firstly , I love your banner, it's wonderful.
Secondly, I too adore that bird stamp and just used it about a week ago for something in an altered book i am doing - will send you a pic. My middle son rarely reads a book he prefers newspapers but when he was little his favourite book was a book of poems by Shel Silberstein. Out of all the books I dont know why he adore it so much. I only was reminding him the other day when i was looking through his old books and that is one we decided will stay with him always. How funny, yet again.
it's beautiful! you must start taking commissions.... you can start with my name! KECIA!

This is such a beautiful and unique piece! It looks like no other banner I have seen. I really love it Ruth!!
I've just discovered your blog. Lovely creations!!!
Ruth, the swap you sent me was soooo amazing, and the time you must of put into it, unimaginable. As I opened my package and oohhh and aahh, I totally thought "Oh my, mine can no way measure up to yours" then I read what you said and felt better. I'm glad you liked your stuff. You my dear have inspired me to take up my sewing, and take the time to do the little work, cuz oh it makes such a differance. Thanks again.. You Rock!!!
Creatively,
Tammie
beautiful beautiful beautiful
