    T Tuesday: mixed media edition

    April 8, 2014 - By 

    I’m slow at getting my post up today for T stands for Tuesday. I decided that I really needed to get to the gym…for the first time in longer than I’d like to admit. I certainly knew it when I got there…yikes. Out of breath and out of shape.

    I also stopped by for a visit with my knitting group…it’s been a while since I’ve been there as well. In fact, they had a new member. It’s always fun to meet someone new with like interests.

    So yesterday I was compelled to create something for a friend. I haven’t given it to her yet but she has so much on her plate at the moment that I know she’ll never stop by here before I get it to her. 20140407_4574Here’s the finished piece…20140408_4575Thanks for stopping by today.

    Just an FYI…I generally don’t answer T Tuesday comments with a personal email back but I do visit and leave comments on the blogs listed if I am able.

    April 1, 2014 - By 

    Holy smokes…its April already! We’re a quarter of the way through 2014.  I better get myself in gear with my get healthy initiative. monster smoothieGreen monster smoothie…check. I already finished my coffee for the day and what would T stands for Tuesday be without a beverage.

    Mother Nature decided to play a trick on us.

    Here we have yesterday…yesterdayAnd today…todaySnow…wind…sub zero “real feel” temps. Booooo!!

    Another trick I noticed after being up for 2 hrs was this…no foolingAn ugly bruise at the base of my thumb joint. I think maybe it was partially dislocated…I adjusted the joint. It still doesn’t hurt,  just feels weird. No clue…I guess I’ll wait it out for a day or so and see what comes of it.

    An last but not least…I have to share this photo Little J took the other day.magic pawWhat’s even more amazing to me is that she took it with an iPad mini. No foolin’!

    I also thought I’d direct you to our flubber results if you hadn’t already seen them.

    I’m going to go ice my thumb a bit before visiting the link list over at Elizabeth’s blog.
