Bed and Breakfast Please


Craig and I are celebrating our 23rd wedding anniversary this weekend. We drove about 3 and 1/2 hours to Fredricksberg, Texas. We are staying at the most amazing bed and breakfast called "Magnolia House". This house is awsome. It was built in 1923 and the current owners have it decorated so nicely. I have never stayed at a bed and breakfast but have always wanted to. It is so neat. Here is a picture of our suite. We are just sitting her sipping wine, watching television and reading. Total relaxation and quiet time together. Of course, I'm sure Craig has other stuff on his mind. Heehee
Yesterday, I remembered we had put our wedding on a cassette tape. Not video mind you....yes, they had video back then...we just could not afford it. I had not thought of this tape in years and I decided I had to find it. With some luck, I found it in when of the kids baby bible boxes. I labeled the box and took it to my husband. He was not as excited about it as me that I had found this but he was supportive of my joy. BUT...we did not have cassette player anywhere in the house. I will get a cheapy one so we can make our kids suffer through the entire ceremony. Mostly, I just want them to hear our silly kiss. I kinda smacked Craig on the lips and giggled. I was so embarrased. But it is funny to me. What a treasure to have found that. Rhea, this will make for some entertainment at your big 25th anniversary party for us.
Tomorrow? Shopping downtown in Fredricksberg. FUN! Then maybe some German Sausage and some German beer-yuk....I don't like German beer. It makes me do the bitter beer face. OK so a nice glass of tea and some brautworst and that bread with mustard. YUM.
P.S. No, we can't even go two nights without the internet. Craig brought his laptop in case we had wireless access and to his delight and mine....we do. Another plus/bonus for staying at Magnolia House.

Paper Flowers and Fabric Flowers

Well, I'm kind of in a creative funk again. I hate it when this happens! I'm so glad that next weekend I am going to Fredricksberg, TX again to the trade days. I know it will inspire me in all kinds of directions. Meanwhile, while I am trying to get my groove back........I have been making a lot of little short term projects in the paper department. I made this little posey pin from faux vintage post/letters etc papers from the scrapbooking department. I actually wore it yesterday on my jacket. Then I spotted this book on Fabric Flowers by Elizabeth Helene Searle at the fabric store and I had to get it. I used her instructions to make this first fabric flower. I want to try several of her other flowers instructions. Now, what will I do with them? Who knows? Does it really matter if I am enjoying myself? Probably everyone will get fabric or paper flowers for Christmas! Heehee Have a great day.

Laughing Out Loud

I still have some work to do on these paper mache letters. I finally found something to do with all the bits and pieces of things that I keep because they will be perfect for some piece of art.....some day. Today is the day! I really love this piece/grouping. LOL .....a good message don't you think? Go ahead, Laugh Out Loud.....it is very healthy and therapeutic. Today, I bought the soundtrack to Mamamia and I have enjoyed the heck out of it. I really enjoyed that movie. I have discovered that people either love it or hate it. I just think that it is so cool that Meryl Streep totally stepped out of her norm and went for the musical. She did a great job and I can't wait to see it again. It is a great girlfriends and sisters movie. I highly recommend that you go and get it and go to your girlfriends house and watch it and....oh....I don't know......LAUGH OUT LOUD! Let me know if you do and how it goes.

VILLAGE CLAY WORKS Another Artist Interview

I ran across this wonderful and whimsical artist several weeks ago when her work was featured on Etsy. I have enjoyed looking at her work and I know you will too. Meet Catherine Reece from Northern California. She is a creative woman who has been working in clay for over thirteen years. She was kind enough to let me interview her for this blog. Please enjoy. Tell us about who you are, what do you want to say as a statement about you? My name is Catherine Reece and I live in Dublin, California (just east of Oakland). I am married and a mother of two kids. I have been professionally selling my pottery for 8 years. I was waiting for my husband to graduate from design school and find a job while i worked and played with clay. Over a few years I began to build a small business selling my pottery. MY husband didn't find the job of his dreams and so he joined my in the studio as my partner. Now we make our living as artists selling pottery.I think I am still trying to figure that out. ...
