<div align="center">
<span style="font-family: Courier New; font-size: large;">The past several weeks have been so packed with joy. </span></div>
<div align="center">
<span style="font-family: Courier New; font-size: large;">I can start to feel a shift in the weather this past week. Cooler evenings and a bit of a morning chill. I expect fall is soon on it's way. Many of the kids are heading back to school already, so I guess summer is winding down.</span></div>
<div align="center">
<span style="font-family: Courier New; font-size: large;">Seems every chance we can get were heading to the Oregon Coast for a little cool down. The heat this year has been, well... HOT. Us Oregonian's aren't used to so many days of 90's. Everything is just sooo dry. </span></div>
<div align="center">
<span style="font-family: Courier New; font-size: large;"></span> </div>
<div align="center">
<span style="font-family: Courier New; font-size: large;">While we were at the beach this last visit, we went on a 2 mile "wetland" hike. It was such a beautiful day.</span></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace; font-size: large;">It has been so warm and dry here in Portland Oregon this year. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace; font-size: large;">Pretty unusual for us, we usually get some rainy days, but this year has been exceptionally dry. It rained this past weekend and I never thought I would ever say it. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace; font-size: large;">But... I missed the rain. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace; font-size: large;">It hasn't rained here since the last week in April. So refreshing, and the smell... just lovely. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace; font-size: large;">We have been beating the heat around here the past few weeks with some little escapes to the beach.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace; font-size: large;">Summer is here and I have found myself being pretty busy lately. It's amazing how much fun you can have when the sun is out and the days are long. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace; font-size: large;">In my last post, I announced a little giveaway, and the winners Monica Downing and Nike Bottalico have been notified via Facebook. And their new little mermaids have been sent off to their new mama's. It sure makes me feel good to give something away.:)</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace; font-size: large;">I took a new jewelry making class recently and boy, has it opened my eyes to all kinds of new pretty things.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace; font-size: large;">It's always been something I have wanted to try, but wasn't sure if I would be any good at it.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace; font-size: large;">(That darn self doubt can be a stinker.)</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace; font-size: large;"> So without worrying to much about it, I jumped in and trusted the process. It sure is nice to have a visual learning tool, and a great teacher that explains everything step by step. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace; font-size: large;"> With the moving of our daughter and baby Kaia, i felt a little lost for a bit. It took me a few weeks just to figure out what I was suppose to be doing.I found myself just sitting in the quiet of nature and enjoying the quiet.Recharging. Realizing, that there would once again be time for me, my thoughts and all the things I want to do. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace; font-size: large;">At first I had so many mixed emotions, up's then down's. Happy to sad, to worried and round and round. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace; font-size: large;">For so long, the days were pretty much busy to say the least. The scheduled feeding times, meeting days, scheduling appointments, loads of chores,running after baby Kaia to make sure she was safe,and the constant clock watching to make sure I was on task. It became so routine and now....It has been a month or so and...</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace; font-size: large;">NOW!!!</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace; font-size: large;">I have been so busy,I found me again! </span></div>

<span style="font-family: "Courier New", Courier, monospace; font-size: large;">Blooms ready to burst open, and little petals are falling all around, covering the ground like snow. So welcoming.</span></div>
<div align="center">
<span style="font-family: Courier New; font-size: large;">I have been getting to take a little more time for myself lately. Working on a bit more art, and trying to embrace my creativity.</span></div>
<div align="center">
<span style="font-family: Courier New; font-size: large;">I started thinking about the word creativity. It not only means just making pretty things, although I would love to spend my days doing so. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Courier New; font-size: large;">You can be creative in so many ways... In cooking a meal for your family, dressing a table, re decorating a little area in your home, all kinds of ways. I think Creativity was the perfect word for me this year.</span></div>

<div align="center">
<span style="font-family: Courier New; font-size: large;">This past week, I have been spending a bit more time in the studio. I took some photos of my space, and realized that after looking at it through the lens of the camera, things were looking a bit unruly. And I needed to clean up, organize, and clear out some clutter.</span></div>

<div align="center">
<span style="font-family: Courier New; font-size: large;">So, with that in mind I decided I would try to get a bit more organized. </span></div>
<div align="center">
<span style="font-family: Courier New; font-size: large;">But in order to get organized, I needed to get a few things.I picked up some vintage jewelry boxes at the thrift store for just a few dollars, and what a difference that made.</span></div>

<div align="center">
<span style="font-family: Courier New; font-size: large;">I haven't been a very good blogger lately. Keeping up with a toddler, and all of life's little happenings, have had me quite busy. After loosing my baby bulldog just before Halloween, I just needed some quiet time. Some time for just enjoying all the moments with baby Kaia, and soaking up all of her love.</span></div>
<div align="center">
<span style="font-family: Courier New; font-size: large;">She makes the best snuggler. Hard not to smile, and feel a joyful heart when I am with her.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Courier New; font-size: large;">Trying to get back into the studio these past few weeks, and do some creating. I had lost my mojo for a bit, but I am happy to say, that it has returned. Yay!!</span></div>

<div align="center">
<span style="font-family: Courier New; font-size: large;">Our daughter has been working so very hard in her recovery progress, as well as in her parenting skills. She was awarded custody back of her daughter, little Kaia.</span></div>
<div align="center">
<span style="font-family: Courier New; font-size: large;">We are both so proud of her for achieving this accomplishment. DHS doesn't make it easy, and she has successfully gone above and beyond to have her back in her life, and she is thrilled to take on the most important job one can ever have, of being a mother.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "Courier New", Courier, monospace; font-size: large;">Hello Lovelies.</span></div>
<div align="center">
<span style="font-family: Courier New; font-size: large;">Are you loving this beautiful fall weather?</span></div>
<div align="center">
<span style="font-family: Courier New; font-size: large;">Delicious isn't it?</span></div>
<div align="center">
<span style="font-family: Courier New; font-size: large;"> It's such a special time of year for me, I always feel my most creative during this time, just before Halloween.</span></div>
<div align="center">
<span style="font-family: Courier New; font-size: large;"></span> </div>
<div align="center">
<span style="font-family: Courier New; font-size: large;">Been working on a few new things this past week, and trying to spend as much time in my studio whenever I can.</span></div>
<div align="center">
<span style="font-family: Courier New; font-size: large;">I was inspired by a post I saw on Graphics Fairy. "Such a great site, if you haven't visited, I suggest you do." Not only are there many free images to use, there are also some great tutorials as well. </span></div>
<div align="center">
<span style="font-family: Courier New; font-size: large;"></span> </div>
<div align="center">
<span style="font-family: Courier New; font-size: large;">The one that caught my eye, was making garden signs from vintage tart tins. So I gave it a whirl, and added a few other elements to complete the piece.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgS6dhyphenhyphenG_z94pA9PUYkyNJiYQ90YunssagNTo_u40kCbO1ROtQalGhV3FrxmP2FS_h2sHFeWIevv7wYU4CnfGETOaPmSSrjqX0rN9vP9-eUQYwKWNGTmeNKKcD-ux1Mx8e9sV8T9a0NOr4/s1600/beach+032.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgS6dhyphenhyphenG_z94pA9PUYkyNJiYQ90YunssagNTo_u40kCbO1ROtQalGhV3FrxmP2FS_h2sHFeWIevv7wYU4CnfGETOaPmSSrjqX0rN9vP9-eUQYwKWNGTmeNKKcD-ux1Mx8e9sV8T9a0NOr4/s1600/beach+032.JPG" height="320" width="240" /></a></div>
<div align="center">
</div>
<div align="center">
<span style="font-family: "Courier New", Courier, monospace; font-size: large;">I love the look of mixing different colored metals, adds a bit of intrigue, I do think</span>.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "Courier New", Courier, monospace; font-size: large;">The tart tin was hammered out flat, and then the letters were added with a metal punch.</span></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "Courier New", Courier, monospace; font-size: large;">Holes were punched in, to tie the tin to the back, which is an old car bolt. The side has a few holes, to secure the Charlotte witch in place.</span></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "Courier New", Courier, monospace; font-size: large;">A bit of bling, lace, flowers, and a potion bottle were added at the base.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "Courier New", Courier, monospace; font-size: large;">She turned out pretty spooky, and sweet. I love the look of this Charlotte too, grungy and aged. She will make a nice display to add to my décor this year. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: "Courier New", Courier, monospace; font-size: large;">Hello Lovelies!</span></div>
<div align="center">
<span style="font-family: Courier New; font-size: large;">It's been awhile since I last posted. Wrangling a toddler these days has my days quite full, to say the least. And it seems if I have any free time, my soul is starving for artsy days, or just searching for some solitude in the studio. An escape for a small time, to breathe and play.</span></div>
<div align="center">
<span style="font-family: Courier New; font-size: large;"> I do have some fun stuff to share with you, and hope you enjoy the process.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div align="center">
<span style="font-family: Courier New; font-size: large;">I recently took on an adventurous art project. A canvas 36" x 36", quite larger than anything I have ever done before, but I thought why not? I had been wanting to do a bohemian style butterfly collage, for some time, and I had a large vacant space above my bed, that I wanted to add some color and something fun.</span></div>
<div align="center">
<span style="font-family: Courier New; font-size: large;">So...</span></div>
<div align="center">
</div>
<div align="center">
<span style="font-family: Courier New; font-size: large;">I was inspired to do this piece, by many things.The colors in a new Handmade Katha quilt throw from India,for my bed, which by the way I am IN LOVE with! A vintage tray, and the colors of the flowers from my garden. Amazing how some things can trigger something in you, and can inspire you to create something so fun from it. I Love being inspired from ordinary things!</span></div>

</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "Courier New", Courier, monospace; font-size: large;">I started my template by marking center of the canvas, and used ordinary craft paper, to cover half of the canvas.</span></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "Courier New", Courier, monospace; font-size: large;">I Freehand drew the outlined butterfly, and cut it out.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "Courier New", Courier, monospace; font-size: large;">Then, reversed the image to the other side, tracing around the edges, so that I ended up with equal wings on each side.</span></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "Courier New", Courier, monospace; font-size: large;">I freehand drew the lines for the butterfly segments I would later fill with paint and fabrics.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "Courier New", Courier, monospace; font-size: large;">I then covered the background with various colors of cardstock squares in random order, until I liked the way it was looking. I actually added a few more squares later on, to fill in a few places that I felt needed it. I used ModPodge to secure all the squares to the canvas.</span></div>

<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "Courier New", Courier, monospace; font-size: large;">For each segment of the butterfly, I used paint, and tissue paper as a template, and then used the tissue paper pattern to get the right cut from various vintage quilt fabrics.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<span style="font-family: "Courier New", Courier, monospace; font-size: large;">I used an old bed skirt, I picked up at a thrift store, that had a pretty scalloped lace on the edges. Cut it up, and it worked perfectly for the outside edge of the wings. The more delicate piece of lace around the top edges, and inside of the wings, was cut from the sides of the old embroidered table runner.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "Courier New", Courier, monospace; font-size: large;">I painted out the antenna in blacks, and burnt umber acrylic, and added some to the body, and the whole canvas as well, to give some contrast. I like using the burnt umber color, it adds age to anything. I paint on a small section, and then wipe off most of the paint. It leaves behind a most wonderful distressed antique feel.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "Courier New", Courier, monospace; font-size: large;">Hello Lovelies!</span></div>
<div align="center">
<span style="font-family: "Courier New", Courier, monospace; font-size: large;">We took a little weekend trip to my home town this past weekend, sort of a working getaway. Mr. Sweetness had a job to do, so me and Kaia hitched a ride, and had a fun little visit with my sweet mama and niece. This was our first overnight away with little Mae. It was nice to see some aunties and cousins that were able to meet her for the first time. It was short, but oh so sweet.</span></div>
<div align="center">
<span style="font-family: "Courier New", Courier, monospace; font-size: large;">We made sure to take some time to visit this wonderful, little darling tea house, for an afternoon tea party. It was so much fun!</span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;">Hello Lovelies!</span></div>
<div align="center">
</div>
<div align="center">
<span style="font-size: large;">As many of you know,we just recently moved, which meant packing, packing,packing!And Unpacking! </span></div>
<div align="center">
<span style="font-size: large;">Quite frankly, I didn't think I would ever get through all of our things, and to be honest, ( I am still working on this process...) but, it has been such a delight, to have a new space to decorate and display all of our treasures. </span></div>
<div align="center">
<span style="font-size: large;">For some reason, everything just looks better in the new place, than it did before. Strange how that works.</span></div>
<div align="center">
<span style="font-size: large;"></span> </div>
<div align="center">
<span style="font-size: large;">Me and the Mister have been working hard at getting my studio put together. </span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;">YAY!!! </span></div>
<div align="center">
<span style="font-size: large;">I just realized the other day, that I have not created art since November of 2013. OMGoodness! Hard to believe. How does this time go by so quickly? </span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;">It's more challenging these days, to just jump in, and blast through a project like we used to do. And, before, we didn't have a little one to care for, or schedules. Just 2 fur babies. But now it is so very different, since were given the gift of caring for Little Ms. Mae. </span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;">So... you just do it when you can, bit by bit until you get there. This has been the most difficult thing for me. I am an instant satisfaction kind of gal... so I guess the lesson for me to learn, is to slow down and be ok with that. </span></div>
<div align="center">
<span style="font-size: large;">(This lesson too, I am working on.)</span></div>
<div align="center">
<span style="font-size: large;"></span> </div>
<div align="center">
<span style="font-size: large;">I just cannot hardly contain myself, with getting my space back. </span></div>
<div align="center">
<span style="font-size: large;">It's hard to explain, not having this creative space. </span></div>
<div align="center">
<span style="font-size: large;">It's like I have had my wings clipped, and now I am beginning to fly again. I can't wait to share some of this new little treasured space with you. </span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;">The fun challenge, is that this space underwent quite the transformation from the dark cold garage it once was. And though it's not perfect, it's perfectly perfect to me! This was the scary Garage room BEFORE. Yikes!!!</span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;">I came up with this interesting idea t</span><span style="font-size: large;">o adress one of the walls in the space. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">You see... this wall is actually the garage door, on the back side. It really needs to be taken out completely, and turned into part of the existing house, but, since we are in a rental, and it's the rainy springtime here in Oregon, We just made do. Hence the phrase,</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"> <em>"Do what you can, where you are, with what you have."</em></span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;">Anyways, back to what I started saying about this wall...There are no studs in this wall except on the ends, so I needed something intersting and pleasing to the eye. So, as I stood on the ladder painting one evening, it came to me... what about burlap??? </span></div>
<div align="center">
<span style="font-size: large;">Why not???</span></div>
<div align="center">
<span style="font-size: large;"> It's light weight and easy to apply with spray adhesive, and I think it would look amazing. By George that's it! </span></div>
<div align="center">
<span style="font-size: large;"></span> </div>
<div align="center">
<span style="font-size: large;">So what do you think??? </span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;">A nice way to organize all my vintage seam bindings and misc. was to hang this shoe organizer over the unsightly furnace, and it can be easily accessible with the see through mesh pockets.</span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;"></span> </div>

<div align="center">
<span style="font-size: large;">I added some vintage cream, cotton lace, under the chairrail trim to finish it off. And you know what? I couldn't be happier with the results. It's coming along nicely. Still have a bit to go on getting it all organized, and polishing up the rough spots. But it's a start. :)</span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;">Speaking of using what you have.. The paint color in this space,I could not exactly say what the color is, as we used up 5 partial gallons of paint that were leftovers from our other house, that varied from shades of cream to tan, and mixed them all together into a 5 gallon bucket. The newly made color, came out a lovely straw color. All in all, a win win. Now I am 5 cans lighter that I have to recycle! :)</span></div>
<div align="center">
<span style="font-size: large;"></span> </div>
<div align="center">
<span style="font-size: large;">Now, all I need to do is fit all of my stuff in here, right? </span></div>
<div align="center">
<span style="font-size: large;">This space is about 1/2 the size of the old spare bedroom that once was my studio. </span></div>
<div align="center">
<span style="font-size: large;">I can do it! </span></div>
<div align="center">
<span style="font-size: large;">I think the finished measurment is 13' x 8'. Pretty tiny, but I have no complaints.</span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;">Hello Lovelies! </span></div>
<div align="center">
<span style="font-size: large;">I have missed you... seem like so long ago since I last blogged, I have my hands <u><strong>full.</strong></u></span></div>
<div align="center">
<span style="font-size: large;">We got moved... well almost. </span></div>
<div align="center">
<span style="font-size: large;">Lots going on ... Lots to share...</span></div>

<div align="center">
<span style="font-size: large;"> You see...</span></div>
<div align="center">
<span style="font-size: large;">As of October 4th we have been blessed with the full time care of our granddaughter Kaia Mae. </span></div>
<div align="center">
<span style="font-size: large;">Mom's taking care of a few things right now, and having some difficulties. </span></div>
<div align="center">
<span style="font-size: large;">Little Kaia Mae needed us. </span></div>
<div align="center">
<span style="font-size: large;">When she came to us, she was just 3 1/2 months old. And with her coming, so did the questions. </span></div>
<div align="center">
<span style="font-size: large;">Can I really do this? Am I capable? Am I physically able? And the most important question of all, what will happen to her if we don't.</span></div>
<div align="center">
<span style="font-size: large;">I could not have imagined my life with a baby, now at this age. We were empty nesters prior to her coming, for the past few years. </span></div>
<div align="center">
<span style="font-size: large;"></span> </div>
<div align="center">
<span style="font-size: large;">Enjoying the fruits of life, and it's many splendors.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div align="center">
<span style="font-size: large;"></span> </div>
<div align="center">
<span style="font-size: large;">Things are so very different for us now... </span></div>
<div align="center">
<span style="font-size: large;">Joyful moments and snuggles, the sounds of a baby cooing, and crying at times, in the background, and seeing life's many splendors through her eyes, and the joy these little moments bring to her, seeing these things for the first time.</span></div>
<div align="center">
<span style="font-size: large;">It is pretty amazing.</span></div>
<div align="center">
<span style="font-size: large;">I still have lots of things to do, it just takes a little longer to complete now, and my days are pretty full, and so is my heart.</span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;"></span><br />
<div align="center">
<span style="font-size: large;">I will admit, some days are extremely challenging, and I wonder if I have the patience for all of this, and then, on most days, they are filled with fun, and making some wonderful memories. </span></div>
<div align="center">
<span style="font-size: large;">I will just enjoy each moment I can with her, while we have her.</span></div>
<div align="center">
<span style="font-size: large;"></span> </div>
<div align="center">
<span style="font-size: large;">You know....Sometimes, life just has a way of making things interesting for all of us. </span></div>
<div align="center">
<span style="font-size: large;"></span> </div>
<div align="center">
<span style="font-size: large;">We can't prepare for it, it just is God's plan for us right now, and that's all I know. </span></div>
<div align="center">
<span style="font-size: large;">And all I can do, is the best I can do.</span></div>
<div align="center">
<span style="font-size: large;"></span> </div>
<div align="center">
<span style="font-size: large;"></span> </div>
<div align="center">
<span style="font-size: large;">Meanwhile...</span></div>
<div align="center">
<span style="font-size: large;">Construction projects are still taking place in the new place, was hoping to be completed before we moved in, but, remodeling a whole house in 30 days is a little wild. Thanks goodness for Mr. sweetness and our good friends, that made it possible for us to at least get in 12 days before Christmas. So we will continue hammering it all out as we go.</span></div>
<div align="center">
<span style="font-size: large;">It's a small little house, though a little bigger than our previous home. </span></div>
<div align="center">
<span style="font-size: large;">It's cozy, and getting more comfortable, the more we add ourselves to it.</span></div>
<div align="center">
<span style="font-size: large;">It has been quite the transformation indeed. It's not a fussy perfect house, just simple, comfortable, and "lived in. "</span></div>
<div align="center">
<span style="font-size: large;">I think the house was built sometime in the 1940's.</span></div>

<div align="center">
<span style="font-size: large;">We kept the upper cabinets, and added some hardware pulls to the fronts, and added a nice crown molding to the tops, to spruce them up a bit. I still need to decorate that area above the cabinets. I'm sure I have stuff to do that. Hee Hee. :)</span></div>
<div align="center">
<span style="font-size: large;">Ohhh! And do you notice, we have a dishwasher now! It's been at least 15 years since I had a dishwasher. I feel like a princess!</span></div>
<div align="center">
<span style="font-size: large;">The bottom cabinets are new, and give me wonderful storage for all my stuff. And gosh... I have a lot of stuff! </span></div>
<div align="center">
<span style="font-size: large;">Do you really need 5 styles of cake pans, two kinds of muffin pans, and various other sizes of pans, cookie sheets, electric skillets, waffle irons, fancy electric cookie makers, quiche pans, tart pans, and the list goes on... LOL! Geez. </span></div>
<div align="center">
<span style="font-size: large;">Well... at least I have a place for it now. </span></div>
<div align="center">
<span style="font-size: large;">We just couldn't believe how we had all that stuff in the world's tiniest kitchen we had before.</span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;">Here's a quick shot of the work in progress kitchen. " Don't pay attention to the boxes, and construction supplies on the counter." lol! Still adding our baseboards to the room too.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"></span> </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">I love the space, it's twice the size of our other place. The bar is a reconstruct, repurpose project we are working on, soon, it will have bead board on the ends, and our tile will be done too. I will do another post of some of the work projects at a later time.</span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;">We have a very large back yard. I have plans for a garden this spring, and we will be putting in a concrete patio. Right now, it's very plain. But we will fix that, once the weather gets nicer.</span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;">Well, I enjoyed sharing our new space with you, I promise I will share more soon.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "Courier New", Courier, monospace; font-size: large;">The home to which we are moving to, is basically hideous. The whole thing needs to be re-done. And lucky for us, we enjoy challenges, so we have excepted the role of renovators and repair-ee's. Pretty much the entire house needs work. Slightly overwhelming... But, I do feel blessed though, that there is a place for us to start our new life.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "Courier New", Courier, monospace; font-size: large;">Despite the fact that we are moving, I did, have to do a little decorating, because after all, this is my FAVORITE time of year.

<span style="font-family: "Courier New", Courier, monospace; font-size: large;">Just wanted to share a quick post with you today, on something artsy and new.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "Courier New", Courier, monospace; font-size: large;">I was craving to do something a little different, so as I sat there in the studio going through some stashed supplies, it came to me. </span></div>
<div align="center">
<span style="font-family: "Courier New", Courier, monospace; font-size: large;">A little art doll.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace; font-size: large;">Good Morning Lovelies!</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace; font-size: large;">I'm back! </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace; font-size: large;">Excuse my brief absence, life is moving at a rather fast pace these last few weeks.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace; font-size: large;"> Lots going on.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace; font-size: large;">We put my Dad's house on the market this past week, which is also where I live, so it's been a flurry of meetings,and deep cleaning's, which is my least favorite thing to do, and having to schedule showings, and be out of the house with the dog, during these visits.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace; font-size: large;">It's a bit unsettling, the unknown.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace; font-size: large;">Though, I have faith that everything will work out as planned. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace; font-size: large;">Holy smokes, just the thought of moving, makes me excited, and exhausted at the same time. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace; font-size: large;">New possibilities, and decorating have been on the forefront of my mind. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace; font-size: large;">And that's pretty exciting to me, I LOVE decorating, so keeping positive.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace; font-size: large;"> </span><span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace; font-size: x-large;">Hello Lovelies!</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace; font-size: x-large;">Hope you are all doing well this fine day.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace; font-size: x-large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace; font-size: x-large;">So today, I thought I would share a little story with you about some of the madness, on my part, that took place while preparing for the recent tea party photo shoot.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace; font-size: x-large;">You see, sometimes I get a little crazy when it comes to having a vision. I picture in my mind, the way that I would like something to be, or a certain look, and will stop at nothing until I get the result. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace; font-size: x-large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace; font-size: x-large;">And that's pretty much true. Some may call it obsessive, for me, it's just the way it is, and always has been. I know I am not the only one, that gets this way... hopefully. lol!</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace; font-size: x-large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace; font-size: x-large;">So, I had a vision of a beautiful paper garland for my party, and thought, oh yes. How perfect that would be,dainty,festive, and oh so lovely. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace; font-size: x-large;">However.... when it came time to start preparing for this idea, I could not find what I was looking for. </span></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace; font-size: x-large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace; font-size: x-large;">First, I went to 4 different local craft and fabric stores to find the paper pom pom garland. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace; font-size: x-large;">NO ONE HAD IT! </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace; font-size: x-large;">I had seen it there, at these stores a million times before, until I needed it. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace; font-size: x-large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace; font-size: x-large;">NO WHERE!!!</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace; font-size: x-large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace; font-size: x-large;"> On the 5th attempt, I went to a fabric store that carried the Martha Stewart line, and of course, I had seen it there before, in small sized pom poms, and large sized pom poms, so thought, no biggie, I will just get it there.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace; font-size: x-large;">I went down the Martha isle, and there it was. 1 large package with 5 pom poms, in a pretty white. Not exactly the right color I wanted, but it would do. So... I get up to the front to purchase this garland. (mind you, it was coupon day, and I waited at least 15 min. in line).</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace; font-size: x-large;">The clerk scans the item ,and says: "I cannot sell you this, as it is no longer in our inventory."</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace; font-size: x-large;"> "WHAT?!!?" </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace; font-size: x-large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace; font-size: x-large;">I exclaimed, "but I found it on your shelf right over there." </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace; font-size: x-large;">"Let me call my manager" said the clerk. "Nope, I am sorry, but we cannot sell it.We have no way of knowing the price, and cannot sell it." </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace; font-size: x-large;">OK, at this point, I thought, "is there a trick being played on me or something", like on one of those practical joke shows? </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace; font-size: x-large;">That's sure how it felt, anyway. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace; font-size: x-large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace; font-size: x-large;">Defeated, I went home thinking, well, I guess I am not going to have it then. and had almost given into the idea that I would not be able to complete my vision, that I would just have to accept the "not having it."</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace; font-size: x-large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace; font-size: x-large;"> NO!</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace; font-size: x-large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace; font-size: x-large;"> I could not let the thought go... A light bulb went off, maybe I could go on to pinterest, and find a tutorial or something, and I could just make my own. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace; font-size: x-large;">I mean, how hard could it be right? </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace; font-size: x-large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace; font-size: x-large;">BINGO! </span></div>

<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace; font-size: x-large;">The next problem was, I didn't have any white bleached coffee filters. (I only use the natural ones.)

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;"><span style="font-size: x-large;">SOLD OUT OF COFFEE FILTERS!!! </span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;"><span style="font-size: x-large;">What the heck is going on. </span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;"><span style="font-size: x-large;">Is there a conspiracy or something???</span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace; font-size: x-large;">WHITE COFFEE FILTERS. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace; font-size: x-large;">GLORIOUS COFFEE FILTERS!!! </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace; font-size: x-large;">Priced at $1.49 for 100 filters in a package. I happily bought 2, raced home and started to get my things together. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace; font-size: x-large;">I still had baking to do, among a number of other things.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace; font-size: x-large;">Making this garland was actually not that hard to do, and I will share the process with you now.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace; font-size: x-large;">I wish I could attach the link that I found the tutorial from, but when I went back to look for it today, I could not find it. There are sooo many tutorials there. So Thank You whoever you are, that saved me from completely giving up on this idea. xoxo</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace; font-size: x-large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace; font-size: x-large;">BTW, Thanks for listening to my rant, but that story was so unbelievable, I HAD TO SHARE.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace; font-size: x-large;">Is that not the craziest thing you have ever heard?</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace; font-size: x-large;">OK...</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace; font-size: x-large;">Start by mix your color. I used apx. 5-7 drops of food coloring in this small recycled hair spray bottle.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace; font-size: x-large;">Start spraying on both sides. I found that laying the next one on top of the other to absorb some of the loose color from the one you sprayed before, worked well.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace; font-size: x-large;">Once you have a soggy colored pile, place in preheated oven at 200 degrees for about 5 min. each side, until dry.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace; font-size: x-large;">The first tutorial said to pile then up, but it worked better for me to get an even color by separating them slightly. </span></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace; font-size: x-large;"> Now start folding the dried colored filters in half</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace; font-size: x-large;">Then in half again</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace; font-size: x-large;"> Then in half again, until you end up with a bunch of these. I ended up using apx. 13-15 per circle.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEizH3cIvPanqY2V16Xjch3fR1y2iHM7sQ-tS5m__3U5xZ1PHKSLzzBy5D19OT0XiIRJQoU3GkdsGgLyS4XbKldCfWGyGmkzWVwPDNgEB4YN-MycOqh2Us08NNEikD9F3hxKDtbyWv3PfvA/s1600/pom+pom+garland+013.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><span style="font-size: x-large;"><img border="0" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEizH3cIvPanqY2V16Xjch3fR1y2iHM7sQ-tS5m__3U5xZ1PHKSLzzBy5D19OT0XiIRJQoU3GkdsGgLyS4XbKldCfWGyGmkzWVwPDNgEB4YN-MycOqh2Us08NNEikD9F3hxKDtbyWv3PfvA/s320/pom+pom+garland+013.JPG" width="240" /></span></a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace; font-size: x-large;"> Next, staple to the edge of the circle, leaving the center open.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace; font-size: x-large;">LAYER the next one over the first, and do the same, all the way around.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace; font-size: x-large;"> Keep going, until you have added enough to cover the circle. Remember, leave and opening in the middle to run your string through.</span></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace; font-size: x-large;">Use a needle for the long piece of striped bakers twine,and thread it through the hole punched center, leaving it long as you go.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace; font-size: x-large;"> Then, start separating and pulling open the folds until you get a pom pom. You can scrunch between your hands to create a circular pom pom shape. These filters are pretty durable.</span></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace; font-size: x-large;">You can see the variations in coloring, and I ended up loving that in the end. You can make these in any color, bigger, or smaller, with the same process. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace; font-size: x-large;">I wonder how great these would be, to use a really large filter, like those Industrial ones at Starbucks? </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace; font-size: x-large;">Huge pom poms would be great for hanging outdoors, or in a barn for a large party. Halloween Perhaps?</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
