To Quote Martha Stewart...


I'm all about the "good things" today. Nothing huge or major, just things that are currently making me smile. Well, besides the fact that I will be attending a HUGE plant sale today to get new plants for our recently built retaining wall beds. But, I will hold off on my plant lust for now and just share these little photos!

This is another new ladder/bridge painting I finished up this week. There was an entirely different painting underneath this one, but I just couldn't accept it, so this is it's new face to share with the world. I so enjoy making my little ladder/bridges right now. To me they are images of hope, growth, travel, change. Don't like where you are right now? Need a change? Climb out of your situation on a ladder, see new vistas by crossing that bridge!


I went to a local church rummage sale yesterday and came away with a haul of fabulous finds (most for Hazel). However, these little blocks are all for me! I love to write things out with them on our little built-in dining room shelves. This is the current phrase.


Finally, a horrible, close-up man-hand shot of my new skirt I made yesterday with help from mom. It's a fabulous pattern from Indigo Junction that you can make for any size based on how many panels you want to use. I used three fabrics in mine and I just love it. It flares out on the bottom and just makes you want to twirl. I was twirling and photographing, but you'd be amazed how hard it is to take a photo of yourself in a skirt when you have short man-hand arms and there's a wee one dancing around you wanting the camera too!

I like this painting, too, and the concept behind it.
