Giveaway Time!

THANK YOU to over 1,000+ followers on my blog!

I'm so glad you're here to visit~ Thank you for so many wonderful comments, too.

The needle felted pumpkin in the above photograph is our

latest giveaway treasure! Simply leave a comment on this post &

your name will be put in the 'bucket' for a chance to win!

Name will be pulled on Monday, October 14th, Columbus Day~

Getting ready to list these needle felted beauties in my Etsy Shop...

We have not had frost on our living pumpkins yet~

I'm sure it is just around the corner!

Colors are beginning to pop!

Pumpkin seems to be a main ingredient in most of our desserts...

Yum!

I had Christmas music on the other day... (I know, too soon!)

'Chestnuts roasting on an open fire~' was playing over and over in my mind~

I think it is because I was gathering walnuts to cook & reduce down to make ink!!

I've shared that songs pop into my mind when I working... that do/don't relate,

BUT SOMEHOW TRIGGER & stick with me until I play something new!

Once I heard a few different songs AND 'Chestnuts roasting...' I was all good again~

(Giggle)

Do hope you like my little needle felted treasures~

Thank you~

Thank you~

Thank you~

It is a JOY to meet each of you here!

Hope you have a wonderful day~

Good Morning, Sweet Friends!

Do hope your week has been filled with creative projects~

The last few weeks of summer typically have us chasing our tails &

 this year is no different~ 

Our son is entering his senior year of high school!

Our daughter is entering her 2nd year of college.

A very exciting time for both of them!

We have a winner from my previous post giveaway!!!

SMILEY!

Our Little Blue Cottage
Congratulations!!!

So many treasured notes... loved to read about your memories &

creative ways to keep them tight.

The vegetable garden is slowing down...
Summer projects are winding down...
The studio is begging to be organized~
When our dear hearts return to lessons there will be time.

Hope your Wednesday is off to a great start!

Giveaway time!

With so many technical gadgets it is much easier to capture moments and

store them on a disk, memory card... digital file~

Sweet memories that bring us joy!

Some moments are remembered only in our hearts~

There is no photographic record of it...

No way to prove it existed or ever happened.

The heart never forgets!

I will never forget moments with my dad.

He & I only had 12 years together... but the moments we shared are

collected and written on my heart.

For your chance to win this original pen & ink on fabric,

Please leave a comment on this post!

If you would like, share a favorite memory you have collected or

a favorite way of preserving your memories!

One name will be "pulled from the hat" Monday, August 19!

Hope you have a weekend filled with wonderful memories!

I LOVE original art... to hold something one of a kind in my hands~

Was such a pretty & bright day today.

Made it possible to paint for a little while... natural light is ideal.

I've been trying to let my eyes rest... doctors orders.

My little rosy cheeks, caused by Rosacea has gone into my eyes.

Started with quick sketches...

Had a few bird books nearby for color reference~

Tried to not become distracted reading about the AMAZING nests

our little feathered friends build each Spring!

Not sure that they're 100% accurate...

That's the joy of nature~ it varies!

I love putting down vibrant colors!

Nothing a little water can't calm down~

Drawing will be April 1st!
