Really UP!
Waaayyy Up!
Going Up!
To the top!
That is one tall Rock Wall…
Going UP!
I probably would have tried it…
Maybe even cooled off in the pool.
If I’d brought my swimsuit to the party…
To be the center of attention.
It’s so exciting!
Just delighted!
Birthday parties, with our sweeties, so happy to have them close.
It makes me laugh!
After who knows how long, I finally opened an Etsy Shop.
I realize I am not the first person to do this, maybe there were even 300,000 + before me… But still, YIPPEE!
I love to agonize over the tiny little details, look at all the options and take as long as humanly possible to do the projects that other people do without a second thought. I even figured out how to put that fancy little “Mini Etsy” on the side bar. If I said it took 4 hours to do that, who would believe it?
Sometimes even I have a hard time believing it…
We have had the most beautiful weather the past couple of days.
Just a couple more days of sunshine and the Star Magnolia will be in full bloom!
I spotted a little nymph in the yard.
Not just fun and games around here.
I’ve been getting things ready for
I was able to harvest the pussywillows.
Sounds easy, right??
It is a “Fine Science”, (Ag Science) I assure you.
Well… there is this tiny little window when they are ready, before they are over ready…
And there is only a few (and I mean few) days that it is not pouring down rain.
Naturally all the “good ones” are at the top of the tree.
Yes, I think I hear applause…
It’s been a rewarding week indeed!
We are so looking forward to St. Patrick’s Day this year.
That is the date for,
Saturday, March 17th
2pm-6pm
We will be loading Dumbo, (the rv)
hitching up the trailer (aka the lead sled)
and traveling north to Bainbridge Island.
My friend Liz hosts
Seabold Vintage Market's Spring Flea.
Not only should you save the date…
but I would also ask that you cross your fingers, that we don’t have “an issue” with Dumbo…
If you have followed our “adventures” for any time at all, you know how temperamental he can be…
I invited Cindy,
to travel and share the trailer with us.
I’m pretty sure the Queen would not be thrilled, stranded on the side of the highway…
photograph by the awesome Robin Laws.
I’m excited for this weekend.
We will be spending the weekend in Hillsboro.
We are finishing up a few (dozen) last minute projects and we will be all ready!
I have enough treasures to fill up the building myself, but I will probably bring just one trailer load…
I love the new jewelry, I’ve been making.
Something with a little heart, for Valentine’s Day.
I thought it would be fun to have some stamped letter charms to mix and match…
Who knows what you might want to spell.
You will just have to come out and see for yourself!
See you there!
I’ve had a few days to do what I pleased.
It pleased me to bring out the paints and crayons.
I wanted to practice some of the techniques I learned at the Lisa Kaus painting class I took a couple months back.
I had Dave cut me some houses and I started them like this…
Then I flipped them over and started again…
That was fun, so I painted this,
Then I painted this old box that I keep paper scraps in,
Then a cardboard box with a lid…
Then a hinged wooden box,
I ran out of things to paint,
Then I found an old sign…
That was fun!
I love recycling…
