    T Tuesday: Wednesday edition

    March 5, 2014 - By 

    T stands for Tuesday on Wednesday?  What?

    Elizabeth isn’t a big stickler for rules, so I know she won’t mind.

    20140305_4373I have so many things to share but am lacking the energy. I’m recovering from yet another round of sickness. A wicked stomach bug this time. This coffee drink was purchased this morning in effort to get some protein and fill my coffee need. I haven’t been able to drink coffee since this mess started. Halle sad. 🙁  I’ve only managed to drink about half…I think the rest will have to wait. I’m still not eating normally. Nothing sounds good and my sense of smell is overly keen. Example: Last evening I was at Big J’s choir concert and was sitting on the gym bleachers. A man was sitting just behind me to my right and I could smell his feet every time he moved them… Blech!!!  At least the concert was good.

    Next week I’ll be sure to share some exciting gifts from Japan, a some news and if all goes as planned…some new art.

    What are you doing today?

    People are crazy!!

    February 27, 2014 - By 

    Okay, this has absolutely nothing to do with art so if you don’t aren’t interested…you may go now…I won’t feel bad at all.

    So today I was heading over to my moms after dropping Little J early at school for choir.  The windchill was -30 something °F…really, does it even matter at that point. My mini van displayed this for a temp….

    2014-02-27 07.59.46Yikes! I can assure you…it was cold!!!

    Anyway…the reason for my photo and my rant was this….

    2014-02-27 07.59There was someone on a bicycle…in rush hour traffic…on icy roads…crazy…just crazy.

    Seriously…my version of exercise doesn’t involve risking my life on icy roads in sub zero temps. Ok..I’m stepping down off my soapbox now and going back to creating art.

    T Tuesday: wreath edition

    February 25, 2014 - By 

    Welcome to T stands for Tuesday, hosted by Elizabeth @ alteredbooklover. This is a day that we share a cup, a glass or a mug of cheer and chat about our week.

    photoshop tea

    I got a little playful with my tea this morning. Photoshop is fun!

    Well…what about the wreath? That was the title of the post. What kind of show are you running here anyway?  (don’t you love it when I put words in your mouth)

    I’m getting there…just need another sip of tea.

    So, last Fall, a good friend of mine sent me a picture via FB of a wreath that she loved. She was convinced that I could make one as well. I wasn’t as sure. After collecting the needed supplies I gave it a whirl… Within a few frustrating minutes, I knew I was on the wrong track.  I set it aside and really didn’t give it another thought until yesterday.

    I was laying on the couch…I finally caught the crud the kids had….and it came to me how to properly wrap the wire.  Within 10 minutes I had the wires in a complete wreath form….no thanks to Gracie who kept batting at the wires and tried to steal the floral tape. What a pest!!wreathI had the leaves all prepped and ready to go so the wreath went together really quick! It’s not exactly like the original photo…which I can’t seem to find anymore…but it my version.

    Today I’m going to catch up on some laundry and rest some more. I’m definitely better than yesterday but not 100% by a long shot.

    What are you doing today?
