    A time for everything

    a time for everything yarn haul

    Another page in my cursed journal. Photographing this page proved to be a challenge. This was the best shot I could get and it still doesn’t have the look that it does in real life. I’m bummed because I think this is one of my very favorite pages EVER.

    After I stamped and embossed the pocket watch image, it looked just too perfect. I took some sandpaper to it to mess it up a bit. This made me much happier. 🙂

    I also had to show off my yarn haul from the thrift store. Woo-hoo…lots of knitting and crochet material for the less than the price of 2 average skeins.

    Flower doodles

    flower doodles

    I’m not excited about the colors I used on this page but I’m having a lot of fun with the doodles.  I think it’s something I’m going to play with more.

    Speaking of flowers…

    I’m in need to some identification of a “flower” or maybe a weed that has planted itself amongst my spirea bush.weed1

    It’s quite large. The leaves are about 6 inches long and the bud it about 1.5 inches in diameter. It seemingly grew up overnight. I’m sure it didn’t and that it was working its way up while I was sick for a week.

    weed2The goofy thing is tall as well. I’ve been leaving it now just to see what comes of it but would love to know if anyone could tell me ahead of time. Patience is not one of my virtues.

    Back in the saddle

    July 26, 2013 - By 

    enlightenment choose your pathI’m feeling better each day!! Still can’t sleep laying down but at least we have a recliner. I’m trying to be an optimist here.

    I felt good enough yesterday  to finish a journal page I started well over a week ago. I’ve been really into splatters and scribbles lately. This page was no exception. I found the image in a drawer. Not sure where she came from but the colors fit perfectly.

    Today’s page I was trying really hard not to use scribbles and splatters but in the end…a little bit of white splatters had to be added. I just couldn’t help myself.  I did restrain and set the black ink back down…baby steps.
