Room With A View

Happy Friday everyone! 

Ever have one of those mornings you wish you could just go back to bed,  then 

get up and start your morning all over again?

Well, instead of doing that, I took a brisk walk in the cool morning air, took some

photographs, and now I feel renewed, and thankful for the simple things...

like the view from my windows. 

Just wanted to share...



























































Now, time to quit taking photos from the inside looking out...

I'm going outside on the deck for a little reading and crochet...

care to join me?  I'll make some tea!  






If you are listening, I chose the song "Peel Me A Grape" by 

Diana Krall for this post. 

We are going to see her in concert tomorrow night at 



Hope you have a nice weekend! 




Becca

I love Diana Krall. Lucky you! And at a winery. Forget the tea! I love wine! Ha! :) Wish I could be there. Your days sounds lovely. I wish my day didn't start out the way it did -- with the death of another outside kitty. I do what I can, but I can't save them all and it just makes me so sad. Your views are so lovely! And the weather looks beautiful. It's midnite and still over 100 degrees here. I'm off to bed. Goodnite! Tammy

Beautiful views indeed! I keep my computer muted, and was enjoying your photos very much, when I saw that you were going to see her at the home of a favorite wine... I became so envious! Iswear I'm going to move up there before I die!

Your photos make me want to pick right up and move to Seattle, and yet I know the gray skies and rain would not do for me. I'll just enjoy your beautiful photos!!

I'm having my tea break while seeing/reading this and thrilling to all your beautiful images, Becca... I love those delicate starfish lined up along the window. And LOVE, love, love your neon cactus! Nothing cures a dented spirit like a good walk--good recipe for turning it around. ;o) I've always enjoyed the music of Diana Krall...Such fun you got to see her in concert! Happy Days ((HUGS)) P.S. I'm having a hydrangea show at my place today.

Lovely images Becca! My favourite is the close up of the three beautiful starfish on the window sill, but they are all lovely! Have a wonderful week.

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...
