Was feeling artsy…

 Using up scraps….

Expressing feelings of gratitude…
I have been attending a MOMSnext class since September. 
The new session will being next week. 
It has been good for my heart, mind and soul.

 

So glad the kids don’t have school today!! 
We can stay in and stay warm.
Although the cold is doing it’s best to try to get in…
That is ice on the inside of the front door. I even made a draft stop but the cold is persistent.
Anybody needs me…I’ll be under a blanket, drinking tea.

 

A second page in my new journal. 
Remembering the day I took hundred’s of nature photos and collected seeds with an old friend.

 

I’ve been sorting beads and making a few more wine charms lately. 
Little J always wants to get in on the act with me. This morning she comes up with this wine glass charm! 
It’s my new favorite of all time.
I never would have seen that in those beads. 
Her mind works so much differently than mine. That’s why she’s a master Lego builder too.
Me…not so much.

 

Putting paint to pages of a book is very freeing.

This was a cookbook I never used.

All it did was take up space,
 so…
a new journal is born.
Little bits of this and that hoarded over time.
Such as the paint strip.
Bayou blue is the color Big J picked for his room.
It reminds me of medical scrubs but whatever…he likes it.

Pieces of projects and experiments.
Like bits of rusted fabric.
Polymer clay leaves from the one and only time I crafted with it. Yuck! Hate the smell of that stuff.
As well as a deconstructed silk flower that I used a script rubber stamp across for interest.

I’ve been working very hard at learning how to publish with WordPress today. I think I am really close to moving all my blogging here. I’m excited and apprehensive at the same time. Blogger has been like an old friend or an old shoe. You hate to give up what’s easy and comfortable. Making this move is a good thing.
