Happy November!


Hi everyone!  
I have really been looking forward to this month.  Not only is November my birthday month, but I'm also looking forward to some other exciting possibilities!
One very important thing I'm trying to remember though, is to be "thankful."  These are difficult times for everyone, and sometimes remembering to be thankful for what we already have is not easy when you
are focused on something you want. 
Today,  I'm thankful I have the day off,  but unfortunately, I'm on my way to stand in line at the DMV to renew my drivers license.  (I wasn't really looking forward to November for that. LOL!)
Hopefully, I won't be there too long and I can get back home because I'm in the mood to do a little stitching! 
I'm also linking up to Lisa's blog for
Macro Monday
Head on over there for some really cool Macro shots!

Thanks for dropping by!

Hi Becca!!

I just visited your last post as I've been really sick. I love the photos of you in costumes! You look great!!
HOw much fun you must have had doing this. I love the last photo of you when you were in the theatre. You look great.
Hope you don't have to stand in line all day. I always hate having to renew my license.
Lots of exciting things coming your way I am sure!!!

Love the photo so so prtty. My big tip for the DMV is get there 30 minutes before they open (if you are able to) The past couple of times that I have done this I was in and out in no time flat. Well worth the 30 mins that I waited prior to them opening.
Have a great day!!!

I adore your photo-taking skills. You're one of my favorites, so I'm sooo glad you don't have word verification enabled! Makes a huge difference to me!
Hugs, Brenda

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...

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

It's a Crochet Thing….

Image
Hi friends!   Well, I said I'd be back with some crochet stuff I've been working on,  I just didn't think it would take me so long.  So, I found this cute coaster pattern on line that uses "jute"  and yarn. They were easy to make, and the yarn adds so much to them,  don't you think?   Look at the back, I think even the back looks interesting!  Click  HERE  for the link if you want to make these.  I've been working on this afghan for a while now.  I love it because the squares have been pretty  easy to make even while watching TV.  The colors remind me of the blue hydrangeas I love so much!  Finally, I've been going nuts about adding crocheted edgings on things.  I made a couple of tea towels for gifts, and I'm still  working on more of these.  Don't you just love ticking fabric?  Well, there ya ha...
