random friday

I am going to make Friday's my random post day.
...whatever I may want to show or tell you...
...it could be anything...
These angels flew out of here this week.

And this is where I am headed tomorrow.
I will let you know if I find any irresistible goodies.
I hope so.

Great weekend wishes!

freezing!

It's freezing here today.
The temp is 17!
They said it dipped down to 10 last night...brrrrr.



...even Miz P had to put her scarf on.

I am staying in today and keeping warm. Working on last minute Christmas gifts and getting my cards finished and sent out. I am even dreading the short walk to the mail box...geez!


Stay warm and have a great Thursday.
(unless you are somewhere hot...then disregard:)

playing with angels

I started this painting last summer and didn't like it.
Thanks to the beauty of layering I did some repainting.
She looked like this for a while.
But it looked like she was sporting an afro.

...still not happy.


...mosaic version...accidently slipped in here.


I gave her a new do....some darker hair.
I like her now.
Happy Wednesday!

tag tuesday

It is a very chilly...no forget chilly...it's downright freezing here today! It's 29 degrees and a good day to stay home by the fireplace. But I have a couple doctor appointments today and must leave my warm domain and brave the elements....sigh.



We had our tag swap on Saturday and wow! These are the tags I received.
The top photo's show the fronts of the tags and the bottom shows the backs.


...very clever ladies!



I really love this one by Nancy Knox.
I also loved her Halloween tag.

I don't know the significance of the fish for Christmas, but the shrinky dink Christmas lights are too cute!


...the flip side is adorable too.

Well, it is about that time that I need to start thinking about heading out the door...brrrr.

I hope your Tuesday is warm and toasty.

six OH! four

It's my 604 th post.
I didn't realize I'd hit the 600 mark...
...would have had a giveaway.
Oh well.
...funny photo...
from photofunia.
It's fun...go ahead and play.
They just added some new stuff.

Have a good weekend.
We are going Christmas shopping.
I already got my gift....
...and I will show it off next week.

tag swap

What is this jumbled up mess of red and green?




...it's my Christmas tags for the swap at paper Crown.




...it's a tag on a tag with a tea tag...

I hope that wasn't too confusing.


And I would like to thank you all for the sweet comments about my Grandson. The next Kaffe Fasset? Who knows...stranger things have happened. We will have to wait and see. He told his Mom that he only wants to spend his money on sewing items...hmmm...


Have a good Wednesday!

a new month

It's December already and boy will this month fly by quickly!
I hope everyone had a wonderful and safe Thanksgiving.
Mine was great.
My daughter and grandson flew out to be with us...
...leaving the other half of her family to celebrate with his family.



Hours of quality time were spent with my grandson Kasey...working on the new quilt. Yep, the massive king size one I had laid out on the table last week. I taught him how to sew and he ran with it.



He wanted to stay up all night and finish it. That would have been nice but I had to explain that it was never going to happen.



It was a great visit...
...time flew much too quickly.
Missing them both.
Time to move on...
...have a billion things to get done for the next holiday!


Happy Tuesday!
