cold

As much as I love Minnesota…I hate days like today. When it’s dangerous to be outside with exposed skin.  It has risen to a balmy -3°F since this screen capture.

I got distracted…

It looks beautiful outside with the fresh snow…  The long shadows from the low sun.

You may remember that I was having a couple of craft boutiques this past week. The first was a bit of a bust. Not much traffic but still a good times spent with Little J and friends.

The second was great…even though we were in a fierce snow storm. They even dismissed school a bit early to get all the kids home before dark.  Only in MN would a snow storm bring out the shoppers. :)

crazy messSince I had been mad crafting up until the last minute…I have quite the mess.  I’m only showing you a little snippet of the mess.

Seriously embarrassing.

But maybe a bit of public shaming will help me get it cleaned up.  One can hope. ;)

 

I have two boutiques in 5 days…the first one is today! Wish me luck!crafts

The first of several canvases I’ve been working on.laugh always

I love it when my hands look like this…hands

It means that I’m busy creating. I think painting is my favorite art form. I tend to use my hands…a lot.

T stands for Tuesday rolls around more quickly each week it seems. Think it’s possible that our hostess Elizabeth is speeding up time? Yeah…probably not happening.

This week my Tea is not for drinking… I’m just dye-ing to show you what I’m doing. *teeheehee*

Tea dye

My supplies are simple…old package of 6 tea bags that I’d never drink. Scraps of linens, lace and ribbon. Glass bowl. Boiling water. And time.

toil and trouble

Bubble, bubble toil and trouble. And now we wait…

I’m heading for a brisk morning walk with a friend.

What are you doing today?

scatter joy

There was a break in the sewing and knitting….

So I uncovered my worktable to make some art.

I had no idea what I wanted to do so I just “did”.

I don’t love every part of this page but that is okay.

I do love that I made art of the sake it art…not for sale or gift…just because it needed to be made.

 Welcome to another edition of T stands for Tuesday hosted by Elizabeth. Grab a cup, mug or glass…sit down and stay a while.activate c

I’ve finished my coffee and am ready to defend myself from the virus that currently has it’s hooks in Mr. G. Poor guy is wracked with chills under a pile of covers. I can’t even fathom how he can move under them…they are so heavy.

Me…well, I’m still crafting like crazy.

Sewing…

Making ornaments…

I’m feeling the deep need to make some art. The only problem is now I’ll have to dig my way to my art supplies. I piled tons of stuff on my workspace. ACK! I hate it when I do that…yet I still do it. Apparently I’m a slow learner.

What a re you doing today?
