Busy.....

 

Trying to channel a Fall vibe here.... I'm so ready for Fall. Here in TX anyway its been a long Hot Summer already.  And coincidently I've been having trouble sleeping.... you?  

I've even been trying my hand at making some Christmas cards... not sure how many i'll make though... This is a picture i took of my Christmas cactus bloom with the light behind it several years ago... I made 7 or 8 copies thinking it would make a good card.. I embossed a little snowflake in the corner to give it a more festive feel... Yeah so if you can't tell... i'm SO over Summer.. 

Grasshoppers are EVERYWHERE!  They are all over the Sunflowers but i haven't noticed much damage... so i don't know what they are eating... They have nibbled on a few choice Petunia blooms... 

I made some more cards by recycling a huge print still in the frame from a dumpster... It was so big!  I identified then cut out  little venues from the larger print and made 5x7 cards out of them... then embossed a little gold bee on each one.. I think they turned out great and i saved something from going to the dump... 

Life is still crazy busy..... or maybe its not ... and i'm just feeling overwhelmed.. whatever it is i just want it to slow down.. Take care and i'll be around to visit! Happy T day! Hugs! deb

My Beautiful Mess.....

 Welcome to my beautiful messy desk.  As usual i have so many projects going on at once there's barely room to do what i need to do... Do you work like that?  

I can hardly believe i haven't posted since JANUARY!  And to be honest.... 

I'm not sure what this 'dipping my toes' back into my blog will ultimately mean.  But i wanted to share what i've been up to....There's been Ladybugs....  

And.... I've had these little ceramic houses for years... I just paint them a little at a time as the mood strikes me.. The TINY details i can handle just so much at a time if you know what i mean..lol 

I have 5 of them... I've tried to paint them all different and yet still relate to each other in some little ways... like i've given them all black roofs...

And finally a picture of my Moon Tea....  This is something new i've started.  Before bed during the waxing and full moon i set water in that little jar there with two black tea tea bags and let it bask in the moons glow all night. In the morning i add a little extra water and sweetner and it makes pretty darn good ice tea... :)  And it makes a wonder ticket to Bleubeard and Elizabeth's T day should i choose to join.   Big Hugs from Texas! deb
