Coweta Samaritan Clinic

I am helping with the decorations for a local fundraiser, Bluegrass and Barbeque.  It benefits the Coweta Samaritan Clinic which offers medical care to residents of Coweta County who are without medical insurance or the means to afford care. (www.cowetasamaritanclinic.org)


The event is held at a fabulous place, Dunaway Gardens (www.dunawaygardens.com)



I have had this "banjo man" for years and thought I would use him for the bluegrass theme. I don't know who the artist is but I am crazy about this guy.

So I decided the "banjo man" needed others to add to his group. 

So we have "guitar man".

And "fiddle man".

The event is September 9, 2012.  I will post some of the other decorations as I get the photos.

Wooden pallet coffee table

Found a weathered wooden pallet and my husband made it into a coffee table.

                                   
                                     He did a great job.  It is a great addition to the beach house.

A Horsey Affair

Painted this life size horse for "A Horsey Affair" sponsored by the Newnan Coweta Historical Society.  "A Horsey Affair" is a fundraiser for a children's museum.  Twenty five artists painted horses and colts.  They are displayed all around the square in downtown Newnan, Georgia and are incredible.   If you are in the area, you should check them out.
This photo was taken by Curtis Robb of http://www.therobbgroup.com/.  He published a wonderful book featuring all of the horses. 

Beach Boy

Beach Boy   5 in. x 5 in.

"Time Flies"

The name of this fiber art piece is "Time Flies" and boy does it fly. I can't believe Thanksgiving is almost here.

A "beach themed" small fiber art piece...

Spring Flowers

The spring flowers in Georgia have been especially beautiful this year.

The rhododendrum are spectacular!!!

Happy Easter!!!

"Spring is in the Air"

The weather is warm here in Georgia and I am definitely ready for spring.

I took this piece to the Trinity Schools Artists Market. They invited me back, so this will be my 2nd year. Please check them out at www.spotlightonart.com. The market starts today, January 31 and ends on February 5. It is a great market with awesome art. So, stop by if you are in the Atlanta area.

I was thrilled to have this chicken fiber art piece included in an Etsy treasury by Julie Bull. Please check out her treasury and her etsy shop. Thanks, Julie.

"ORNAMENT"

This is another of the Christmas ornaments that I have been busy stitching.

"ORNAMENTS"

I have been working on these little (3 inch x 3 inch) fiber art Christmas ornaments. They are headed to the Vintage Flea in Newnan, Georgia. Hopefully, they will find a new home on someone's Christmas tree.

"SANTA"

This Santa is headed to "The Vintage Flea" in downtown Newnan, GA for the Christmas Open House this Sunday, November 14. If you are in the area, stop by and take a peak. The Vintage Flea has wonderful art and lots of great gifts.

This Santa is made with a piece of wood that I found on the beach. I added paint, beads, buttons , etc. and he is ready to hang.

"HEART OF GOLD"

I just completed this fiber art piece. She might be a little funky, but "she has a heart of gold".

"RED BIRD"

This is another of my small fiber art pieces. It is 5 inches by 5 inches, so it is easy to hang in small spaces.

I really love to stitch these "little birds" and have made them in many colors.

"GAME TIME"

I made this fiber art piece for one of my nieces. We spent many hours playing Scrabble, Monopoly, Bingo, Yahtzee, Trouble, Candyland, etc. I thought this piece might trigger some great memories.

Another Driftwood Piece

I'm headed to the beach this weekend. Hopefully, it will be a little cooler there than it is here in Georgia.

This is another of my driftwood masks. I hope to find more driftwood to use for these pieces. If I'm lucky, maybe I will find some other "treasures" as well.
