Ok, that was a bad pun.  But I just had to be done.

I hadn’t noticed my little owl doing a photo bomb until I pulled the photo off the camera.

It made me smile.

Hope he made you smile as well.

Happy Tuesday!

seed cupsI got these started last week and now have a few bits of green coming up.  My biggest concern now is how am I going to keep the cat from grazing on my little sprouts!

I’m thinking of wrapping the plant cart in some netting we have…if I can remember where I stashed it.

Anyone have any tips for me on keeping the cat from grazing on my tender new veggie plants??

Just trying to get some new cards made in categories that I didn’t think of before.

I’ve also got some ideas in mind for Mother’s and Father’s days.

I should likely think about wedding, baby and graduation while I’m at it.

But as I have learned…you can’t push it…just have to let it happen.

courtship

 

I’ve been staring at this piece for a good week now trying to figure out if it’s done.

I kept thinking that it needed some words.

Now I’m thinking that words are not needed. Just like it works with love in the real world.

Words aren’t necessary, you just know.

I was feeling the need to just paint. I wasn’t sure what I wanted to DO so I grabbed some paper and just DID.

It was really fun and free. As in free like a bird, of course.

So I ended up with a 9×12 sheet of watercolor paper covered with random painting..mostly geometric in style.

I decided to cut it up a bit for card backgrounds.

Sort of like serendipity pages.

20130321_1666I made these three cards and have some painted page left over for who knows what.

I did a few more background sheets that haven’t fired up my inspiration yet. I figure the more I push it…the less inspired I get.

In the mean time I’m getting more cards made. I found out today that I’ll be able to do another craft show in April. Nothing like a deadline to get me working!!

 

grace

 

I love a good quote as much as a good cup of tea. Yogi Tea gives me both.

 

This one is just perfect for today. I’ve been learning about grace…something I didn’t believe existed. Amazing the things we can see or hear when we just pay attention.

Little MeI fear my best option for digitizing the remaining 100 or so slides I have from my childhood might be this technique. Me, holding the slide up to the window and taking a photo against the bright white backdrop of our snow covered yard. I better to get to it since Spring is just around the corner….supposedly.

Then each of those photos will need to be cropped in Photoshop to a printable size. UGH!  That’s a lot of work but since I seriously can’t ever remember seeing any of these slides…ever, it will be worth the extra effort.

Yes, that little toe head is me. The slide says ’79 but I’m sure it was from a couple years before. More like Summer of ’77 if I’m correct with the location of the photo. I guess I was allergic to a hairbrush.  ;)  I’m surprised my beautician mom let me go around like that…much less get my picture taken.
