Bright and shiny

dew drop morning

Nature is so beautiful.

After days of gloom and pouring rain, the sun has reappeared!  Seeing the sun makes all the difference in the world for my motivation and energy level.

art yarn scarf

 

Now just in time for Summer…I’ve finished my art yarn scarf.

After using 2 of the 3 skeins, I bound off and connected the ends of the scarf to make an infinity loop. I then crocheted along each edge to help it lay a little flatter.

It will be so nice and cozy next Fall…but I’d really like to enjoy a bit of Summer before we transition to the next season.

Citron Green & Turquoise

20130612_2258I’ve decided to join a summer challenge put forth by Kristen of Twinkle, Twinkle. This is her 3rd Summer of Color challenge.

The first weeks color combo is citron green and turquoise.

Fun!!

20130612_2257I was brave and grabbed my cursed journal once again since I have been known to create something very pleasing to my eye in it at least once before. ;)

I have to admit that I love this color combo!!

The pages are very simple but yet make a statement with the color and texture.

20130612_2259The bright, make you feel alive, colors are adding some much needed energy to our gloomy weather around here.

Make sure and stop by Kristen’s blog to see what the other participants have come up with this week!

Poetry Canvas #2

20130609_2202My friend Sandy asked if I’d do another canvas featuring her published poem. She wanted to give it to her mom who encouraged her to enter the contest in the first place.

I reworked a previous canvas that never felt quite done to me.

Sandy’s words in addition to the changes have now made this a completed work.

The cursed journal

20130605_2196

My bad mojo with this journal continues.

I can’t say that I hate these pages but they are definitely not my favorites. 20130606_2198

I’m playing with different styles, mediums, colors and textures.

I do know that I am learning through my process but sometimes I think I should just gesso over the whole works and start again.

However, I must say that there are areas of each of the pages that I really like…just not so much the pages as a whole.

Low Calorie Cake

20130604_2177

It’s the last day of school!! I wanted to do something nice for Little J’s teacher. She’s been a wonderful teacher for J.

Her teacher LOVES Diet Coke…so the Diet Coke cake was born.

I saw this idea on Pinterest but it was a beer can cake for a guy.  Really the possibilities are endless with this idea.

Plant Markers

plant markersI finally got around to making the plant markers that I’ve been thinking about since last Fall.  They are just so darn cute!!

UPDATE:  I really should have explained what I did with these. Everyone is asking so…

I dipped the spoons in ordinary black craft paint and hung them to dry. I used a white colored pencil to write on them. It’s currently raining…so far so good on it not washing off. Only time will tell. If it’s a grand fail I’ll let you all know in a new post. :)
