    Tea with Grandma

    I missed tea with Kimmie and friends last week…
    I just had to make it for tea today.
    About this time of year I start to get very sentimental. I’m sure its because the Holidays are right around the corner and that means family and friends…renewing those connections.
    So…I’m having tea in spirit with my Grandma. I’m using a cup from her china set and thinking about what it would have been like to actually know her.
    I’ve used her image in many pieces of art over the years.
    This one is is quite timely. It is from a set that I sent off for a Somerset Memories challenge. It wasn’t one of mine that they actually published but I still really like it!
    I think this was the first piece that I used this image on….
    I recycled a CD and some denim in this one to make a unique wall hanging or ornament.
    Another fun one….
    I used so many techniques on this canvas. It was a great big experiment that turned out pretty well.
    Are there times of the year that make you more nostalgic?  Or maybe its a song… a scent… a movie?
    I’d love to hear your stories…

    Swap Tea

    I confess…this post is scheduled. 
    I am enjoying some late evening tea in my cute, “new to me’ chickie mug, while writing this post. Tomorrow…well today as you are reading this is just too busy for …much like so many Tuesdays. 
    Why is it that Tuesday is the most filled day on my calendar?? …Frustrating. 
    I did want to share some fun mail I picked up the other day though.
    I got my color swap pages from Dianne. Fantastic pages.
     Love this watercolor bird.
    I’ve been ito watercolors myself these days.
     Fun fabrics and trim…love it!
    A combo of watercolors, fabric and stitching…
    truly calling my name. 
    Seriously!
     Doodles that I envy…
    Plus some fun tags…
    Feel free t drop by Kimmies blog today for the other Tea Tuesday posts…I know I will be later.

    Sewing tea

    I’ve been busy sewing again. This time making more greeting cards.While running a few errands this morning I stopped at the co-op for a few essentials and a little indulgence. I really love this fermented tea and since it’s going to be really warm again today, it seemed like a good choice.
    Stop by Kimmies blog, art in red wagons, for the other Tea Tuesday posts.
    Also just a little teaser…tomorrow I’m doing something special for Breast Cancer awareness month. My mom is a 43 year survivor. I hope it turns out like the picture in my head. I’ll be sure to take a picture when its done.
