Jordan's artwork...

Edit: Jordan told me to tell you that she will be making more Love Shacks. She went right to work after school. She is tickled pink, I tell ya! Thanks for all the nice comments!

Happy afternoon everyone. I just got back from town with my folks. I took them in to a church garage sale, we went to eat at Wendy's and then went to Walmart. Such an exciting life we lead!

Here is my sweet, wonderful, little red named Jordan. She's 11 and is cute, smart, popular, athletic, funny and oh so crafty. (Hey, it's my blog and I'm the mom.....of course I'm going to boast about my daughter. Jordan is not into cell phones, emailing and Ipods too much. What she loves though is to be crafty and creative. I wonder where she gets that from??

Here's Jordy working on her first quilt...a black and white quilt composed of squares. We're to the tying point but haven't completed it yet. And that's Boots, our tom cat offering his assistance.
Here's Jordan, capturing a rebound at a recent basketball game. She's still limping around this week because she's so physical on the court. Oh how we love the sports!
And here she is second from the left pictured all sassy with Josey and some friends. Last Sunday was the KU/KSU men's basketball game and it was a battle to the end. And I'm talking sister vs. sister....you should have seen the game too!
Onto the crafting....Jordan likes to make stuff. Lots of stuff. And then more stuff. So much stuff that we've resorted to taking photos for the scrapbook and then we have to get rid of some of it. Her latest venture is her framed houses made of fabric and found objects. Her first Valentine creation is front and center in my Valentine decor this year. So cute!!
Here it is up close. Lots of fabric, buttons, felt.....she spent hours and hours cutting felt hearts and hand stitching them....picking just the right buttons...making sure everything was just so. I call these creations The Love Shacks.
She's set up permanent residence in my craft room with her own table and supplies. Here's her new sewing box that Santa brought her.
And here's just one of the messy little piles that is evidence of her crafting ventures. Looks kinda like my table, come to think of it.
I told Jordan that I would post her art from time to time in my Etsy shop. But no guarantees of a sale. This morning, I posted one of The Love Shack creations in my Etsy shop and then had to run to town with the folks. When I came back, her creation had sold!!!!! She will FLIP out when she gets home from school. I am so excited for my budding little artist! She wants her own sewing machine realllllly badly so that's what her earnings will go to. A big, huge thank you goes out to wonderful person who purchased Jordan's artwork. You'll be hearing from us soon!!

I am certain that Jordan will go into mass production mode now....so be looking for some more of her creations soon. I think I'll start charging her rent for her space she's taking up in my craft room. Or maybe I can barter for a framed piece of green artwork for my craft room. :)

Thanks for visiting....Jordan will love to read any comments you leave!
