Was that a confusing title or what?!? But it is accurate. Thanks to my friend Patty, I now have a quick and easy way to make a collage or mosaic of photos… The program is called pixlr and I just love it!
These are just few of the cards I’ve made as of late. I’d been slacking a bit on my etsy store inventory but figured it was time to get back at it.
Hello and welcome to the one year anniversary of T stands for Tuesday! Elizabeth asked us to “dig deep” in our archives to find our favorite T Tuesday post from the past year. What a task!! I had a hard time choosing just one….it’s like asking who’s you favorite child or pet. So I sat down last evening with a glass of red wine and my eBook reader to contemplate.
I finally settled on a post from last October.
Lets take a look….
It’s been a whirlwind of activity around here since last week. I think the last time I’ve had two hours to rest during the day was when I was in the salon, last T Tuesday, getting my hair done.
I’ve been sewing like crazy. On both fabric…
And paper.
Of course, some painting as well.
In fact I have some spray painted goodies in the garage right now. Hopefully I’ll get everything done for Saturday. I have so many ideas now at the last minute for my craft sale. That’s the way it always works with me. I come down to the wire and my mind starts racing with new items to add to my table.
In addition to my “crafty crap”, as Mr. G so affectionately refers to it, I have these this on my list.
As well as the regular Tuesday stuff…knitting group, pesky household chores and visiting T Stands for Tuesday blogs.
What are you doing today?
Oh so sad…this is it…The Summer of Color is finished. Thank you, Kristen, for once again bringing us this great summer challenge.
Behold our last set of colors….
Raspberry & Tangerine with a Smudge, Splash or Pop of Lemon
I immediately thought of a hibiscus.

My drawing skills aren’t the best but I think given the size and shape this is a pretty good interpretation of one.
The raspberry color is more pronounced in person…also could be the strong morning sun throwing it off a bit.
I love it…a nice tropical flower on a cool July day in Minnesota.
“I’m late! I’m late! For a very important date!” I’m feeling a little Mad Hatter this Tuesday. 
My coffee cup is still sitting where I left it this morning…before the ortho and an impromptu fishing trip. With 9 lakes in our city limits, it’s not hard to find a pier somewhere close to fish from.
The good news…for us… is that we actually caught a couple. More of an appetizer than an entree.
Happy T stands for Tuesday!
Only one more week to go until The Summer of Color is done…unbelievable how fast 6 weeks can go.
This weeks colors…
Red & Royal Blue with a Smudge, Splash or Pop of Light Blue
When I saw the red I knew I’d be using hearts on my page. I have a tiny bit of the light blue as wings on one heart. I tried to keep it to just a pop of that color this time. 
The words are just something silly that jumped out at me from a book page.
I was cleaning the closet the other day and came across a seriously old unfinished project. Something I started back in the 1990’s…at first house…when I had a strawberry theme in my kitchen. I considered donating the 6 towels and let them be a project for someone else. I have a hard time “throwing in the towel”…pun intended… on a project once I start. 
Way back when I started these I finished one right away and started the embroidery on the second. My trouble was that the fusible web I used was so darn sticky that I had a heck of a time getting my needle through. Frustration level high!!
Machine stitching was my only choice even if it wouldn’t match. I decided that my dishes really won’t care…so I won’t either.
Time keeps flying by… We are half way thru the year and I’ve kept up with the Art Calendar Challenge.
First we have the completed June page…
And a carnival inspired July ready to be filled with lots of fun stuff.
