These are some of the things that I dyed a few weeks ago with some dye left over from dyeing some wool. I love these colors. I wasn't sure some of this material would take the wool dye, but you can see it did. I plan on doing somemore. Maybe some blues and yellows and some different greens. Some of this material is from an old robe and an old bedspread.

Next up is what I call yard art. Actually it's something that I just noticed and said hey, looky at that. Right outside my back door.





What yard art do you have that you haven't seen?

Isn't this iris yummy??




It has been sunny for a couple of days. We had rain over the weekend and they are calling for it this weekend.

Is it just me or does everybody feel hungry ALL the time. I could eat and eat and eat......

Did some coffee dyeing. I'll try and do some pics on it.

Have a fun week.

Isn't he something??????/ The last one is of him in the act of crowing...and man is he LOUD.

The next pic I took this morning real quick before I left for work. I'm not sure this is the best one that I took tho. This is the real pic, I have not changed or altered it. The background color looks funny huh.








This last one is NOT the same as the previous, same flower, but 2 different pics....funny. can you tell I'm trying to get better with the picture taking thing. I really love looking at pictures on the different blogs that I visit.

Look for some flowers today on your travels.

This is Nelson. Can you guess what he is? He is an Emu. Yep, that's right. Isn't he cute.

Spring is definitely in bloom around our farm. If it doesn't rain this weekend maybe I can get some more flower pics. Hopefully I can get some pics of some wool I dyed last weekend.

2 More work days and then it's the WEEKEND.....Yipppppeeee.

Have I mentioned this lady before,Sharon at All Norah'sArt. Her work is beautiful. I have a link to her blog on my links on the righthand side.

Over and out.....Shoo

Aren't these tulips wonderful. They make me smile. OR how about this sweet little cria. She's not mine, but belongs to some friends of ours. Liberty Hill Alpacas. This picture doesn't do her justice.

Have a happy weekend and look at your surroundings today!

I have started traveling a different way to & fro work. This is one of the neat things I see on that road.

 

Aren't they cool.  They are on an old church/seminary.  I never really paid that much attention to them and then one day I noticed and thought wow, I gotta get a picture.  I'm glad I did.  The stories they could tell of weddings, funerals and Easter Mornings with little girls in their bonnets.  I can just picture them.  Can you?

It's been a cool and rainy day here today.  I'm looking forward to hearing from folks that are at Art Fest.

Later........

 

This is me, on the left, and Kristi Steiner, on the right.  What a sweet and fun person she is.  I really enjoyed her class at Random Arts in Saluda, NC.  Jane at Random Arts is really nice too!!  Oh, the class was Art Fiber Nest.  The pics of her little nest DO NOT do it justice.  She has so many little thingies on it making it just so cute!!

If you have never taken a class with Kristi, I advice you to do so.  She also does a 3 day art retreat in NC too!
Her site is http://www.kristinsteiner.com/MeetKristin.html.  AND Random Arts is:  http://www.randomartsnow.com/workshops.html

I hope you have a fun and artful week!

Check them both out!

Well, finally here are a couple of pics.  The one I had intended on showing I have forgotten to email to myself at work so I could upload them.  If you remember I couldn't get my computer at home to do it and I thought that I still had them on my camera.  No, I had deleted them off of camera.  So this morning I stopped and took some pics and when I got to work and tried to transfer them guess what....they weren't there.  As if I had never taken them.........man, it's just to weird.


Anyway, here are a couple of little thingies I did a few weeks ago.

The weather is great here.  It' suppose to be close to 80 today.

All you folks headed to ArtFest.....happy traveling and I hope the weather will get warmer and dryer for you.

Happy Easter.

I can't seem to get this ole computer to work and post pics I have been taking this morning early.  


ok, I give, I will try and post pics tomorrow.

Have a happy day.
 

This picture doesn't do this justice.  This nice lady http://allnorahsart.blogspot.com/ sent this to me with some goodies inside.  All of the work on this envie is hand done.  Soooooo COOL!!  Thank you Sharon/Norahs.



This I got at the Thrift Store.  I can make up my own sayings and stamp them.  How cool is this?  It's small letters, but that's ok.  I don't know if you can see the receipt date or not.  It says 9-29-88.  So this little set is almost 20 years old.  I already know I want to try and stamp in some fimo and see how that works.

This morning as I was in line to get a biscuit.  The speaker person said $1.83.  Well, I had already been counting my change, but when I reached in to get the paper $1,  I said oh,  there is some change in here too.  Well, I pulled it out and guess how much it was??????????  83 cents exactly.    That gave me a weird feeling and I told myself, maybe this means good things for today!!  So that's my story and I'm sticken' to it.  GOOD THINGS for today.  

I have already met one of my goals for today and that feels good.  Then to have the money carma thing happen, well, it's just got to be a good day!
