I made this lighthouse by stacking large clay flower pots together and painted them.
Hubby hates snow and is just a wee bit down in the dumps today. The only good thing is because we've just had 3 days of temperatures hovering around 70F the roads and sidewalks were warm and the snow melted there so no shoveling required. I got the old eye roll when I pointed this out to him. Oh well, I tried.
It is now 3:30 pm and we are still having a few snow
flurries but not much. I missed the eclipse last night because I was actually
sleeping through the night – for a change! However, seeing as we had snow this
morning I think it is safe to say it was overcast and we would not have seen
anything anyway so I’m glad I didn’t set the alarm for 2:00 am. I remember when
Hale’s comet was passing over our city about 11:00 one night – and it was the
only time in our lifetime that it would be doing so – I went upstairs to my
then teenager’s bedroom and got her out of bed to come see it. She was still
awake but was not impressed nor a happy camper at being forced (her words not
mine) out of bed to see it – Kids! She said it looked like a slow moving shooting star and went back to bed.
I’ve been back to working on the purse I started a couple of
weeks ago and it will soon be done. I haven’t felt like sewing or quilting for
the last couple of weeks so I’ve been down in the lower studio making cards and
scrapbooking instead. Here is one of the Easter cards I made for the
grandchildren.
This one if for the Blogger Challenge Easter.
This image was coloured with water colour paint – just for a
change! The designer paper is from an old paper pack and the blue is from my
stash. I ran the blue strip through the Provo
craft single embossing folder to give it a wee bit of texture. Dies are
Spellbinders.
Back to the sewing room now!
Cheers
Violet
