Flowers and More Flowers

Oh, today was such a lovely day. I started off by taking a lovely walk with my biggest fan; Sebastian. We decided to be a bit more leisurely about our walk today and take the camera. I took a few pics so that I could share the beauty of my neighborhood with you. I am always seeing things that I want to take pics of but it is not convenient to carry the cam...so today.....I did. After all, it is Sunday......a day of rest and respite. The above photo is of some flowers that have these little brown tubes sticking out from the middle. I thought they were arranged in the shape of a heart.

Then, I found this sign and a few others around the Little League Baseball field. Don't worry, I did not go in there!

Oh these are just a few of the pics I took. You can see all of them on my flickr....just click on the striped legs on the side bar.

Later on, my husband and I went to Scenic Mountain to eat our lunch. We stopped and bought some Tacoritos-from Taco Villia (much like the double deckers from Taco Bell. Anyway, we ate those up pretty quickly and sipped our tea from Neighbors Convenience Store (they have the best tea ever). Then we started snapping some photos. I won't make you look at all of them. Here is Craig's prize shot:

And here is my baby.

Then, I took this prize shot.

We came home and took a lovely rest watching television and then I started on my art. HUGS TO ALL. I will be catching up with you all tonight and tomorrow. LOVE and PEACE! Happy Memorial Day tomorrow! Raise your flags!

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.

Etsy Treasury

I got an ETSY Treasury today! Look what I made! Go and check out the real thing here, it took me an hour to figure out how to just get a snapshot for the above photo. Rediculous. YOu should be able to just have some html and share the dang thing! Anyway, here it is, I would appreciate any views and/or comments. Hugs

Some Work Humor

Cows...A Poem by Richard Armous Cows Do nothing but browse And drowse And now and then moo. That's all they do. Yet even while grazing They aren't lazing. Even while snacking They aren't slacking. If not illustrious Thay are inner industrious, Making milk with all their might. With every bite. Cream too, With every chew. I'd like it fine Could I combine In such measure Business with pleasure . Happy Friday from the Funky Art Queen.
