    Quiet morning T Tuesday

    July 30, 2013 - By 

    tea lightI’m enjoying a quiet, overcast, drizzly morning with a cup of coffee. Mr. G is out the door to work and the kidlets are still sleeping. How long do you think I can keep calling them kidlets when the oldest is my height? I say, FOREVER!!

    Since it is so gloomy I decided to light my tea cup candle while I read and sip my coffee.

    rainy day GracieKnitting group is on the docket for today as well as a little back to school shopping. School supplies have been purchased and are packed  in the backpacks. Big J is in denial while Little J is excited to go back in just over a month.

    Gracie is attempting to will away the rain with her mind so that we can go sit outside. Good luck kitty. Maybe we can  enjoy a little time later but that concrete has to dry to make it comfy for furry paws.

    What are you doing today?

    Card crazy….

    Just trying to get some new cards made in categories that I didn’t think of before.

    I’ve also got some ideas in mind for Mother’s and Father’s days.

    I should likely think about wedding, baby and graduation while I’m at it.

    But as I have learned…you can’t push it…just have to let it happen.

    Paint experiments

    I was feeling the need to just paint. I wasn’t sure what I wanted to DO so I grabbed some paper and just DID.

    It was really fun and free. As in free like a bird, of course.

    So I ended up with a 9×12 sheet of watercolor paper covered with random painting..mostly geometric in style.

    I decided to cut it up a bit for card backgrounds.

    Sort of like serendipity pages.

    20130321_1666I made these three cards and have some painted page left over for who knows what.

    I did a few more background sheets that haven’t fired up my inspiration yet. I figure the more I push it…the less inspired I get.

    In the mean time I’m getting more cards made. I found out today that I’ll be able to do another craft show in April. Nothing like a deadline to get me working!!
