Morning coffee

Hallo,
  Yesterday was  my day over at the paper Temptress blog - http://blogs.papertemptress.com/
  I used Neenah - Desert Storm for my image (think Kraft colored but nice and smooth for coloring!!)
And the base cardstock is a yummy teal color called 'teal basis' - nice and sturdy for the base or layering.
   The image I used is from Sweet Pea Stamps - and sadly yesterday was the last day to order digi's from Sweet Pea as they are closing - I am so going to miss my Sweet Pea stamps and friends on the DT!!!!
   All for me today - Take Care

Gold shaker card

 Hallo,
   Stopping in to show you a shaker card I made with this beautiful image from Sweet Pea Stamps and beautiful papers from Paper Temptress.
  This image is by Norma J. Burnell at Sweet Pea Stamps  - stop over there because as of Nov. 25 Sweet Pea Stamps is no longer in business. Check it out here - http://www.sweetpeastamps.com/
I colored her with prismacolor and polychrome pencils onto cryogen white paper - from Paper Temptress.
  I used a beautiful gold paper from Paper Temptress called 'retro gold glossy luster' for the base cardstock - I also used a gold ribbon and a Hamblys overlay from the 'urban chic frames' all from Paper Temptress - check out all the great paper and such here - http://papertemptress.com/
  Not too much crafting going on this week - my DD got home Saturday evening and my DH's birthday was Sunday so we did brunch and then my DD and I got some groceries for Thanksgiving (my DH had gotten most of it already).
   My DS gets home Tuesday and lucky for me this will be a short work week - only 3 days :)
  I have one more project this week and then will see u again after Thanksgiving..

Locker Hook rug

 Hallo,
   Just a quick post today - I finished off this locker hook rug over the weekend. I have been working on it for about 4 or 5 months, an hour or 2 in the evenings on the couch at a time.
  Simple design that I just drew with a black sharpie and then did 5 stick squares following the line....
  It went pretty fast once I got done with my curve design - straight lines are quicker.
  All for today - craft room a callin :)

Toys for Tots bike ride...

 Hallo,
    Just a couple pics tonight from Sunday morning. My DH and DS both rode in this years Toys for Tots motorcycle run - the first 2 pics are of the two of them and the rest are just ones I got as the rest rode by.
   I was sposed to go with them but wimped out at the last minute - it was a bit chilly and my joints(hips and knees) just were not in a happy mood this weekend!!!
  All for tonight - time for some couch time with a good book for a change :)

Seeing Splotches

 Hallo,
   Just popping in to show you an encaustic piece that I finished off this week.
   The wax pieces are 4 by 4 inches and I had taped them all together on the backs and did them all at once and then cut them apart with an exacto knife - and then heated the edges a bit to round them off.
   I mounted them onto a green matt board and then in a black frame.
  All for today - Take Care

Orchid

Hallo,
  Just a quick post today - spent most of the day in my studio but didn't play with my wax today - managed to get 3 pictures framed...2 for the Art Week "Me, Myself and I' contest over at ADSO and one other with 4 small wax tiles I finished the last time I was in the studio. I also got my big 4 fold stand up screen taped off to spray paint on Wednesday (my next day to play - since its a government holiday...)
   This pretty purple orchid is blooming out on my porch right now - isn't he just beautiful!!!
   All for today - I will have more crafty stuff for you this week - I think I am finally getting used to this 8 hour shifts - 5 days a week work thing (just in time to change it up again because it looks like we will be starting 10 hour shifts in December - so only 4 days a week....)

Studio play

 Hallo,
   I cannot believe it has been so long since I have posted - still getting used to my new job and 8 hour shifts every weekday....thought I had it down and last week went by and I was tired and lazy all week. My only excuse is that I got my flu shot on Monday and on Wednesday got an update to my measles/mumps/rubella shot so between the 2 .....
   I do have a few projects in the works and had a good day playing at the studio yesterday - did a couple small pieces and some general cleaning and reorganizing .The  pics were taken with my phone so the last 2 are a bit blurry.
  I plan to frame these pieces - one group in 4 matching frames and the other group together in one frame so I will take pictures again then. The last 2 pics are of my studio - I added the peg board shelf so I could hang some more of my work in my space as well as my space on the wall in the 'gallery' room.
  These 2 groups are  done with 4 by 4 inch squares.
   All for today - its a rainy day here in NW Florida so I plan on playing in the craft room ALL DAY!!!!! (if there is a break in the rain I will get the pups a walk but today is for play!!!)
