T Tuesday: Java edition

I thought I’d share another page in my coffee theme altered book on this T stands for Tuesday. I can see the end of the book. I’m estimating I only have room for 3 more spreads. Longest project ever!!

Now that it’s nearing completion, I’m really trying to grind it out… *grin*

plant update

I thought I’d give a little peek at my seedlings. They are getting leggy…time to transplant into slightly bigger pots.

I also had to share this gorgeous photo of Gracie that Little J aka Mini-me aka JR took the other day. I knew she was using my camera but wasn’t sure for what. She definitely has an eye for lighting.

I’ve got errands, phone calls and chores on my list today. Living the dream. :)

T Tuesday: sugar rush edition

T stands for Tuesday_200Welcome to T stands for Tuesday…grab a cup while we chat.

sugar rush tea

We have way too much sugar left over from Easter. Thank goodness I don’t like marshmallows or these would be dangerous sitting all unwrapped begging to be eaten.

sugar rushThis is my weakness…chocolate.

“My weakness is strong.” ~Patton Oswalt

Maybe fueled by sugar or just that spring cleaning and purging mode but I have dug out a box of items that have been squirreled away for far too long.

sellingBack in the late 90’s I used to sell on eBay. This box was forgotten in the back of our storage room until now.  I also went thru my cookbook collection…some of it just has to go. Recently I’ve started selling a few things on eBay again but the fee structure is pretty steep. But you can’t sell just anything on Etsy.

gracie watchingWhile I work…Gracie watches the world go by.

painting

I did get creative this past week as well. This 6×6 canvas makes me quite happy. Its a recycled canvas…meaning I hated the first painting I did so I covered it all up and began anew.

I’ve also worked in my coffee theme AB again but you’ll have to come back tomorrow if you want to see that.

I’ve got lots on my list today, more than I’ll ever accomplish.

T Tuesday: eventful week edition

T stands for Tuesday_200Welcome to another edition of T stands for Tuesday hosted by Elizabeth and Bleubeard. It’s time to share a beverage and talk about what ever the heck is on your mind!water for tea tuesday

Holy cow!! We’ve definitely had a week to remember…or at minimum…an early morning to remember. We found out that our volunteer fire dept has a really good response at 6:20 in the morning. And we didn’t even have a fire…just needed EMT’s.  They just kept walking through my front door. I won’t go into the details but no transport was needed and all is fine now.

After commenting to friend about all the men in my livingroom that morning I saw this on Pinterest and it made me laugh!!

And back to normalcy. I created a cover page or perhaps it would be the title page for my latest journal. I decided to leave the name of the original owner of the book. It gives the book more history in my mind.

My seedlings are doing really well. I picked up an herb pot at Trader Joe’s and have placed it inside the protective plastic bin as well to keep it safe from you know who. Naughty Miss Gracie.

I also got the pink streak put in my hair again.  halfThe kids are on Spring Break this week. We are enjoying a mellow week at home. Little J and I saw Cinderella yesterday. It was pretty good. More sad than the animated version but not as dark as the original fairy tale.

I’m not sure what the rest of today has in store yet. That’s the beauty of vacation right?!?

T Tuesday: update edition

T stands for Tuesday rolls around all too quickly each week! I feel like I’m playing catch up all the time. moody tea

I thought I’d give you a little update on life around here.

20150323_7477

Not much has changed with the seeds I’ve started other than the view outside is a little white. We got about 4″ of snow which is actually good since we were under a red flag fire warning. 20150323_7478

If you look really closely you can see a few little bits of green popping through the soil.

I also wanted to share about Little J’s surgery. It went really well. She is up and around almost as if nothing had ever happened. She is even going to school today a mere 3 days after knee surgery. Crazy!! Miracles of modern medicine and the resiliency of youth!!

T Tuesday: seed starting edition

Good Morning! Welcome to another edition of T stands for Tuesday.  T stands for Tuesday_200

Lets keep our fingers crossed that my back stays in good shape now! Geesh that was a long haul. I apologize for not stopping by many, if any, blogs for the past week.

Every year I start my seeds the week of St. Patrick’s Day.seed starting By the time we can safely plant outdoors, I’ll have nice size plants to set into the garden…or gardens as the case may be. My in-laws are graciously letting me plant in their garden again this year in addition to my two small garden plots.

So what’s in those cups?

  • 3 variety of tomatoes
  • 2 variety of peppers
  • cucumbers
  • spaghetti squash

I will also be starting some herbs in pots and sowing seeds directly into the gardens when the time comes. We love having fresh herbs and veggies with our meals…especially when they are straight from the garden!plant vigil

Miss Gracie is keeping vigil over the seeds while watching the critters romp.

I’m off to run a few errands, stop to see my knitting group then make a ton of phone calls to get our ducks in a row for Little J’s upcoming knee surgery. Please keep her in your thoughts and prayers.

What are you doing today?

T Tuesday: injury edition

I’m joining in very briefly today. That was not my original plan but my back had other ideas this morning. I’m off to the chiropractor as soon as he gets in. AGH! I don’t have time to be injured. I’m playing taxi cab for Little J who is on crutches. She will be having knee surgery as soon as they can get her scheduled. Poor thing.

I’ll leave you with a photo of Gracie and I having “tea” together…IMG_0182

T Tuesday: collage card edition

I totally missed T stands for Tuesday last week. T stands for Tuesday_200I can’t even remember what I was doing other than not being on my computer.

I do know what I was obsessively making on Thursday though…collage card

I turned on some music, grabbed my scraps and began piecing together collages. I think I was inspired to make more after writing an article about my process. I’ll give you more of a heads up on that when it’s about to be published. :) Honestly I’m not sure how much I’m allowed to say about it until it comes out so that’s all I’m saying for now.

I’m such a tease…I know.

Today we are expecting a snow storm but we haven’t seen a flake so far. If it’s as bad as they say, Little J’s concert may be postponed tonight. In the mean time I’ll be working around the house. Exciting, huh?!?

So…what are you doing today?
