I'm a cloud junkie!

I just can't get enough!

'Rosemary'

Lots of greens in this rag rug, so she shall be called Rosemary.  I finished Rosemary last week (thus the Easter eggs and peeps for props) and she will be a gift.  This rag rug was made from gifted and thrifted t-shirts and sheets. 

I hope everybody had a blessed Easter!

One Saturday morning in March

Seeing the moon sitting on the horizon is what got me outside with my camera on Saturday morning.  I just had to get a picture.

I didn't notice the robins on the ground until I uploaded this pic.  Click on pic to enlarge.

There's still snow on the ground in places, but rest assured-90 degree weather will arrive sooner or later, it always does!

Little girlie

Last week, I forced myself to go through a photo album-trying to sift for some forgotten gems.  I say 'forced' because I really dislike doing it.  So bittersweet, you know?  But I wanted to find more 'good' pics, so I could order some more stickygram magnets.  I enjoy seeing the good old days on my fridge, it doesn't seem bittersweet (just sweet) that way for some reason.  Visitors seem to enjoy looking at them too.

The above photos are from 1994-yes, almost 20 years ago. 

The top photo was taken at Larry's grandmother's house.  We were there every single Sunday (until she passed in 2000) and little girlie always had to be slopping in something-haha. 

In the middle photo, little girlie was feeding a potbelly pig with her dad looking on. 

In the last photo, Hoper (that's a great smile, don't you think?) was playing with a friend's puppy-I remember he scratched her face and I wasn't too pleased because she was getting her Christmas picture taken the next day. Ackkk-why did I worry about things such as little puppy scratches???

Hello deers!

I saw two deer on the horizon this evening, so I had to grab some pics.

I worked on some table runners this week for my sister's wedding reception, but first I swept and scrubbed the floor.  I had to, before I could possibly work with that long fabric.  I have a 150 pound dog running around the house most of the time, remember?   He went with Larry this day. 

Runners pressed and rolled, so hopefully no wrinkles!

Aren't my colorful crochet hooks purdy?  I thought so!

I finished up a rug today-hopefully, I'll get some pics of it tomorrow.

I hope you had a good Good Friday!

Finding Rocco (and my thoughts while doing it) this fine Thursday morn

Hmmmmmm-where's Rocco?  I better get the gator and look for him.

It's a very pretty morning.

Look how some trees just break in half, isn't that something?

Omg-it's freezing-I should have worn gloves.  Those trees are lovely.

Just follow those big paw tracks, and you will find him. Is that him?  Grrrr-he's gonna get it!

Slink, slink, slink.  He's a slinker, he's a STinker!

Trot, trot, trot.  Yeah-you better get a move on, Mister!  Now, jump in the back.

Woah-that's really beautiful, but it's freezing.  Time to go home, Roc.

Happy Thursday!

Miscellaneous

My sister asked me to paint and 'rusticate' this wishing well for cards at her wedding reception, so I did.

That led me to decide to paint my table top too.  Oh heck, I figured I might as well, while the paint was out.

25 years was long enough to look at oak.  The finish was damaged anyhow.

I primed it with Kilz 2 that I had for the camper and some water-based satin Dutch Boy paint that my mom had given me for the camper also.  That stuff was old and really thick but I just kept adding water till it got to a nice consistency and it worked great!  After the paint dried, I sanded around the edges and then wiped it down with brown craft paint on a damp cloth.  It was a surprisingly easy project.

I think it'll make for prettier pictures.

What do you think???

I was excited to fill my ceramic egg holder that Jodie got me for my birthday, with plastic Easter eggs.

I cut a Goodwill hap apart and covered a pillow in desperate need of covering.

I stash my books and my rag balls wherever possible. :)

Bunnies bunnies everywhere!

There's a lot of different patterns going on here!  A friend gave me this quilt, then I gave it to my sister, then she gave it back to me and I'm glad 'cause I like it!  I covered another pillow with that Goodwill hap.

Ahhhhh-the sunshine appeared here and there today, and it was lovely to see!

Have a great day!
