    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?

    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.

    SOC3: sage and sepia

    July 15, 2013 - By 

    Sage and SepiaThis is the last week of Summer of Color! I can hardly believe it.

    This is the color combo I’ve been voting for each week. The strange thing is now that I got it…I had trouble making it work. The photo color is a bit off for the green but my “Photoshop fu” is off this morning.

    I painted the background with sage then distressed it a bit.  After adding the sepia elements, I used some white rub-ons for visual interest. The bride and groom are my maternal grandparents circa 1929.

    Incidentally, this is my 1000th post! WHOA! That’s a lot of blogging. Thanks to everyone who continues to read. I love it when you leave comments to let me know that you’ve been here.
