    T Tuesday: stacking and painting edition

    Today’s version of T stands for Tuesday will be short and sweet…hopefully.

    I’m continuing my effort to eat a good healthy breakfast in hopes of making better choices throughout the day. Especially now that I’m finally. *knock on wood* better…with the exception of a little cough.

    I made a few more of my button pendants…

    Now if I’d only get around to listing some in my etsy store. As much as I love creating, I hate the time and effort the listing process takes.

    I’ve also been working on painting a set of tiles for Settlers of Catan. Here’s a sneak at the work in progress.

    I’m trying really hard to remember to take photos as I go with my phone…there will definitely be more to come.

    I haven’t forgotten about art journalling either…

    That’s it for today! Time to go shovel. This time I’m determined not to fall. Yikes! My knee is still slightly off colored and that was 2 weeks ago. At least my brain didn’t get scrabbled as well…although I did see stars. ? ? ?

    What are you doing today?

    Gifts and treasure

    We had a nice family get away around Lake Superior.
    First we went to relatives house in Wisconsin. They just moved into a new house. We wanted to bring them a housewarming gift.  I decided on some coasters…bigger house…more guests…more need for coasters right?!?
    In addition, they are also big Green Bay Packers fans.
    Since Mr. G makes these great dice trays for games, we thought it would be fun to customize one a for a couple of our favorite Cheeseheads.
    I think it turned out great!
    After a wonderful day and night in Wisconsin, we traveled back into Minnesota to stay in Canal Park, Duluth.
    Little J and I could hardly wait to start sifting through the rocks in search of sea glass like we found last year.
    The sea glass from last year is in the little bottle. We definitely did much better this year. The whole family got involved at one point. It’s so addicting…like treasure hunting. In my eyes it is treasure!!!
    Some of the bigger pieces…which are still smaller than a bottle cap…I’m going to attempt some jewelry.
