    T Tuesday: Fast paced edition

    It’s been a whirlwind of activity around here since last week. I think the last time I’ve had two hours to rest during the day was when I was in the salon, last T Tuesday, getting my hair done.

    I’ve been sewing like crazy. On both fabric…

    cup cozy

    And paper.

    sewn cards

    Of course, some painting as well.

    painted series

    In fact I have some spray painted goodies in the garage right now. Hopefully I’ll get everything done for Saturday. I have so many ideas now at the last minute for my craft sale. That’s the way it always works with me. I come down to the wire and my mind starts racing with new items to add to my table.

    In addition to my “crafty crap”, as Mr. G so affectionately refers to it,  I have these this on my list.

    • a chapter to read for my bookclub tomorrow.
    • finish A Wrinkle in Time for Big J’s “partners in reading” project….yes, I get homework too.
    • mow the lawn…bagging it since there are so many leaves.

    As well as the regular Tuesday stuff…knitting group, pesky household chores and  visiting T Stands for Tuesday blogs.

    What are you doing today?

    Postcard Challenge week 13

    After having to take a couple weeks off from Darcy’s challenge, I’m back with my…or shall we say…Maggie’s postcard and page. 
    Maggie continues to send her drawings or paintings to Thadeus.

     
    She writes:
    Thadeus-
      Please let me know that you are alright. You haven’t responded to the letter I sent from my Aunt’s home. I had to skip my adventure to The Netherlands to care for the poor dear after her fall.
      I am having a wonderful cup of coffee here in Istanbul. Next I am off to explore the Grand Market. I know it will be a feast for the senses.
      Please write.       Warmly- Maggie

    So that’s why there was no postcard from the Netherlands.  
    *wink*

    My page has a small “mug rug” and some stained shipping tags. Maggie must have found some fun things to send home at the Grand Bazaar.
    The pocket is from a chunk of altered fabric given to me by Belinda Spiwak years ago. I think it adds just the right pop of color and texture.

    Coffee pages




    I decided to drag out my coffee themed altered book over the weekend to try and get a few more pages done.

    Here’s what I came up with…

    When I decided to do this book I thought it would be a breeze.

    I LOVE COFFEE. How hard could it be, right?!?

    Apparently I like drinking my coffee, not creating art about it.
