T stands for Waterlilies and New Projects

 

Hello fellow Tpartiers!! I'm so glad you came to visit from Bleubeard and Elizabeth's T stands for Tuesday T party!! I have held onto these waterlily photos since last Summer and i thought Spring had sprung enough that i might share them... Isn't that a gorgeous purple ?  and do you see that teeny tiny dragonfly? To be honest i didn't see it until i loaded it on here...lol  

        Some of these came out SSOOooo pretty! 

              i think the yellow really POPS! 
       And the two toned lilypads were really               spectacular!   I'm sure i'll have another              photo session to share this year!! 

Hubby finished his HUGE bookshelf! And we managed to get it in the house just the two of us! Whew!~  Now our bedroom looks FULL... lol 


I've started staining the Coat Rack... Its taking MANY coats of a gel stain i decided to use.. I'm staining each tree a different color or at least no two trees next to each other the same color.. hopefully you'll be able to tell in the end.. 


And i started playing around with a new canvas.. just something fun.. 
So Cheers everyone! Hope you've had a great week!  I just love how the sun lights up this iced tea.. I'll be around to visit everyone ! Happy happy T day! Hugs! deb

T stands for Bluebonnets and BlueRibbons..... !!


 The Bluebonnets are blooming even with a lack of rain... If we had gotten rain in the last few weeks they would have been so much more plentiful and beautiful... but they are still popping up along the roadsides.. 
And the results are in!!! lol  Out of 9 entries i'm bringing home 7 ribbons! The Bee Altered Book grabbed a Blue Ribbon.. 
                     As did the Silver Dragon
        The Koi painting received a Blue Ribbon!!

         The Mosaic Tile  Fence Post Toppers took                                 Second Place..! 
The Copper Dragon will be bringing home Third Place
And my Flower with a Face was enough to bring home a Third Place... 
The Mermaid colored pencil drawing . I was really rather pleased it grabbed Third Place.. the judges do not have a history of liking my colored pencil drawings so i'm really tickled with this.. The one's that took 1st and 2nd.. were realistic drawings so , so glad they gave me a little nod here.. 
Drinking my usual.... 
 
Well thats it... The Hobbit Door painting did not get a Ribbon nor did the Recycled Snowman Candle Holder.. A little bummed about that but on the whole i'm overjoyed by what i did receive!! Thanks so much for coming along for the ride. And all your comments and well wishes meant alot!  Now back to regular scheduled programming..lol Happy T day everyone! Hugs! deb
