Blog Party Hangover!


"Wow!  My Mom's been on the computer all weekend!"

Yes, I'll have to admit, I didn't get much else done, but I'm having a great time taking a peek into everyone's studios, and I've even met some new bloggy friends along the way! 
Thank you to everyone who has dropped by for a visit and for leaving me such sweet comments.

If you are like me and still getting around to visiting studios for the blog party,  you can still see my post here.
Also, a big thank you to Karen Valentine for throwing such a fabulous party!  If you visit her site at
 My Desert Cottage you can visit all of the party goers from there.


So, for now, I'm going to "stop and smell the roses."
I only have two more days of work before I have some very much needed time off!  So,  after Wednesday I will feel "footloose and fancy free",  and have some more time to visit  blogs and do a little sewing and creating, sew so I can't wait!
Hope everyone's week is off to a great start, and I'll be back on Thursday with some "happiness" I'd like to share with you.

LOL - you hit the nail on the head! I was feeling a bit overdrawn at the fun bank yesterday myself! Your kitty and Bozzy could be friends - silly cats. See you Thursday - I'm curious now!

You have a lovely blog..really quite distinct! And your kitty is gorgeous. I have to admit to blog fatigue myself. Karen was saying that some people had hit every site in just a few days, but I will just plod along at my leisure. It's too much fun to rush through them all.

It was very nice visiting with you...

If you look at your blog stats and notice that it looks like I'm stalking you. Well, I am. I'm redecorating and using your blog for inspiration. :)

No one or nothing can pull off a pose like a cat! (I'm having a little trouble reading your text on that background, just thought I would mention.)

Watercolor on Tea Bags

Image
Hello Friends!  Hope you are enjoying your weekend, especially  if this is a long weekend for you!  It seems like I've been drinking a lot of tea lately, so I  thought it was time to get out my tea bags  and get creative!  This is a mixed-media piece on watercolor paper. First, I tore pieces of the tea bags and glued them to the  watercolor paper to start my background. This is another piece I started just today where I decided to use a rubber stamp before applying the tea bags for added interest.  I love the color and texture the tea bags create.  After the background was dry, I started to sketch out my design.   The dragonfly is a rubber stamp. Finally, a little simple hand stitching on linen for added texture. The light was so beautiful and inviting on my desk today. Oh, and don't you just love my new pencil box I got at the  second-hand store for 97 cents?

The Art of A Rain Chain

Image
"Art"   is probably not the first word that comes to mind for most people when it rains.  If you have ever seen a  Rain Chain   then maybe you'll understand why I think of it this way.  copper, metal, patina, design, texture, beauty... peaceful,  mesmerizing... If you've read my blog for some time, you might remember, this "desert girl" is fascinated with  rain chains. :-) I'm still traveling...Seattle...it's raining... I'm sharing my Rain Chain Art this week at Lisa Gordon's  Creative Exchange I have been reading and enjoying your comments. When I'm back home, I will have more time to visit and get caught up with you.  Hope your week is off to a great start!  Becca

A Fresh Start

Image
Greetings friends, Happy 2015!  The holidays came and went like a flash for me this year.  Since my last post, ("A Real Pumpkin Farm") Thanksgiving happened, I  celebrated the big 50th Birthday, then Christmas was here and gone before I  could catch my breath! Whew!  Last year, 2014, I started a photo a day challenge on Instagram and managed to finish  that without a hitch, Yay!    While I did meet lots of new friends and had a great time, I feel like I  neglected my blog, and that made me sad.   So, here I go 2015 slowly but surely making a fresh start!  Hopefully they'll still be a few of you out there that haven't given up on me.  *** This week is my MIL's birthday, so one of the gifts I have for her are these  crocheted, heart coasters I made.  (yes, I am STILL a crocheting, crazy cat lady) LOL!  Another project I finished is this afghan/throw I made for my  favorite reading
