SURPISE Visitor

 We get an email  via  face-book  saying..we are going to be  visiting you in a few days!!!   All the  way from Sweden.......Our  foreign exchange daughter  and  her fiance  came  for a few days  stay!!   Six   years  ago  she  spent her   senior year  with us   here in the  U.S.     It was so good to see  her  again....they  will be  touring  America  for  three weeks.....as   of  tonight they  are  down in Texas!

 

 Its always  a good thing  when  I join on line  artsy stuff to do.....It  really  gives me  focus.....calms  me  and  just shakes up the  routine  a  bit.....the  two above  photos are  of some  ATC's a new venu... watercolors///  you had to fill a page.......theme is  floral....then   color it and then   cut it to the right  size....that was  very  soothing  for me!  The  top  one is simply a garden theme tag art

 The world of  collage.......and   I love  birds.....

 Loretta  Lynn was  in Redwood  Falls   last  night  so we went to see her  concert.....It was raining  so we  could not be in the  fields///  I have  always  loved  her  music.....She  is 81  and still has a very strong  voice......such a  beautiful lady!

 More tag art/   These are going to Canada  next week......maybe  I should put  some lil feet on these  guys  LOL

 What  small pieces  were  left  over of the  floral shallenge  I  created a few  magnets

Art quilt in the making!


Well that sums up my week here........Blessings to all......Can't  wait to see what ever one  else  is  doing!

Such a gorgeous day here.......

I made it outside to spray paint some branches........Just about  done with that task!


Got the spuds  and onions in the  garden.......hope this week to get the  rest planted......

Been  a bit  busy  the  past  month preparing  for  Bridal showers  and weddings.......First  shower  is April 20.......so I have  had   the  fun to  create  some  Towel cakes......Second one is still in the  making but  I wanted to share the  first one!............So  fun to make and makes  ya think of  Spring!

Once I get the other  towel cake  done  I will share it as well!......These   will be part of the  centerpieces for their  gift table!

Blessings to all................................

Bridal shower fun has begun!

 Back In December one of  my clients  gave  me some plants  and  told me  she did  not think they would bloom...look at this gorgeous  orchid!   Makes me wish  Spring was  here!!

 Speaking of  Spring...yes  bridal shower  number 1  soon upon me.......This  is a joint shower that  my  youngest  and her  cousin will share..... So  I  have made a few center  pieces.....in their  colors.....Teal and  purple!

 I might add some more  bling or  fillers..just  not sure yet

 My first try at a  towel cake....it  definitly needs something more... just not sure what............perhaps some  beads and lace......

But  was still fun........Sounds  like we got more  bad weather  moving  in....Ugh just makes Me  tired thinking about it!
Any how  that  is all the fun from here!

Please stay warm and  safe!

Where is this year speeding off to?

OH I totally missed  February....  and  now  mid  March  is upon us!

Not much happening here,  Old man winter  has taken care of that.  We have  had snow, then rain, then sleet, then more snow.  It just seems to be never  ending. I am itching for some warmer days and it sounds like the  weather man says  this next week might be in the  40's !!

I have started  a couple of art Quilts,  but unfortunately they have been left at the  Studio in Milan and I did not have  my camera  but  I will try to remember to take  my camera  next time I go and  share a a photo or two!

It has been busy here  getting items  gathered for bridal showers.....cleaning out closets.... cleaning out spare bedrooms....just when I think I got some of their  items  cleaned  out  I manage to bring more  home for  receptions and showers  and  wedding....:)

I have not  felt  well  for a few months  now,  I did  go see the  Dr  but they can't  find any thing  wrong,  which I guess is good news,  however  I still  do  not  feel good....  Got some good  and bad  days....  I  am not  able to  eat  certain things  and  my diet  now is  pretty  bland.....  it is not  worth the  penalty  to  eat  like  I used to  however  on a bright  note  of the  subject  indeed is a good way to lose weight!

I do think   of each of you  and  I do try to at least once a week   to peek in and see whats going on......  Wishing  each a  blessed week   and  stay  safe!
