Little Night Owl

My sister mailed me an adorable punch ! She loves to quilt and paper crafts also , she got this punch & loved it so much she sent one to me !!! So I had to make a family of them !! Some are a bit off , but I was just "playing" !! Punch is by Stampin Up , and so easy to use !

On another note ................................ woke up this morning to a whole new world ! Winter Wonderland ! Opened my garage door , big big giant drift ! And I still have all of my pots outside yet to put away and my patio furniture is still out ! I guess I was living in denial , thinking if I left everything as is the bad weather wouldn't come !! ha ha , was I wrong ! Super windy also , so that is why there are fall leaves intermingled with the snow ! This is really early for us to get snow , just hope it is not a preview of the up-coming winter !!!

I know what I will be doing today !!! Shoveling !!!

What's Up With This ?

What is up with this? This is what I woke up to ..... is it really May 2 ? This is a watering can I have sitting on a little wood bench my dad made for me many years ago ,all dusted with snow ! We have been teased with a few nice spring days and now it has been cold and rainy , mixed with snow . Brrrrr , I am so ready for spring ! It's coming I know !

Yesterday there were a few yard sales , most were cancelled because of the cold , but I did hit one that had fabulous things! Was an estate sale, an elderly woman's family was having a sale of everything in her home . She had wonderful things , I just wished I wouldn't of been two hours late getting there! I was busy taking care of some other things before I made it to check out all of the yard sales! Beautiful Bleko glassware, adorable bird cage, and that silver teapot ... the lid is broken but I already know what Iam going to do with it so it doesn't matter. That super tall white milk glass vase is beautiful !

Just a few of the treasures I got , don't you love it when you find great things? Have a blessed Sunday !

White Wednesday photos

I thought I would post a few of my photos I have taken around my home ! And include them in a White Wednesday! I have a shelf that is above my patio doors and is long , I have a collection of creamy white pottery on it , for winter I have filled them with greens and added some of my vintage silver with some of my favorite snowmen I made many years ago !!

An angel that sits in a grouping that a dear friend gave me.

The glass bottle snowman is a vintage bottle that I took from my parents farm & repurposed into a snowman , which I have some similar here.

And an all white ceramic winter angel under a glass dome that sits in a grouping on top of a cupboard in my kitchen ( don't know if you can see my silver pottery vase in the background with a tree in it.. one of my most favorite finds)

Hope you enjoyed the stroll !

Crazy !

That is the only thing I can come up with !!! I woke up this AM to a dusting of snow on the ground , which does not make me happy .... brrrrr , but I was also amazed at how the tree in my front yard had all the leaves on yesterday & today they are all in my yard , they never had a chance to change colors, there all green ! I am hoping we will have some warmer fall days ahead !

I have been working on many projects , I have less than a week to finish everything up for the upcoming sale ! A photo line-up of some of the paintings I have done , not such a great photo ... I just sat them on the floor against my tv cabinet in my studio !

Winter Came Early !

Woke up this morning to a gentle surprise ! Did I say gentle? It is more of a shocking one! Snow coming down , wet and heavy , covering everything ! I am so not ready for winter yet ( I never am ) . Snow, cold ,just plain don't like it ! But I still live here, so I need to adjust! Below is a photo I took on my deck of a little wood bench I have a string of lights on and a bird cage.....they are covered! Brrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr !

I made a big pot of chicken and dumplings ! What could be better to have on a cold day? My most favorite chicken broth to use is Watkins Poultry Broth ! Pictured here ! I love using this brand , not so salty as some others , yet so easy to keep on hand!

The finished product !

Have a warm and creative day !!
