Musical Beds

this little AngelGirls Room

(Harper & Sadie)

looks like a storm came

&

tore it up

(for real-end of July!)

What a blessing to

make room for

Lucy & Cate

much much magic needed still

above photo captured

"what's going on in there?"

dangerous tools vs. nursery rhymes

this was the only safe place

for

Beatrix Potter

this is a glitter admirer's dream

two large containers of GLITTER! 

I'm so loving the contents

 but not crazy about the containers

(plastic - yucky)

however, I'm loving this jar

(vintage is best)

so - let me introduce the two

out with the new, in with the old

oh, happy day!

& just when it couldn't get

more magical

Magic is Everywhere

you just have

 to make it

happen!

Wednesday night with church kiddos creating

the artist are drawing their church

a logo for many art project to come

First Baptist Church Waco

a foundation of faith to all generations

Ephesians 3:20-21

they worked very diligently

on the task at hand

It was great fun

to get to know 1st Youth

Can hardly wait to use their art

for the layout

to go to production

many thanks to everyone

for doing their best!

 

It seems that today

 is a work day for some.

"If it ain't ants, it's roaches"

to quote

 my BF from Mississippi. 

 A water leak again, just an ailment

 of

this ol' house.

 Helpers came quickly

 & we are very thankful

 to have water again.

alas, it was a work day for some,

however, Beatrix heard the noise

but chose a nap

(not a work day for her)

 napping still!

ART PROJECT WITH FRIENDS

making a little travel/journal book this fine day

with my precious friends

Leigh, Katherine & Carolyn

Beatrix Potter & Roxy

had to join us

in my already full office

mine

(made some time ago)

working, creating, gluing

tying, stamping, glittering,

 punching, laughing, cutting,

cleaning, playing

stepping over Roxy

& baby sitting with

Beatrix Potter

what a fun fun time

together

sweet sweet

Forgot to take a photo

of the finished

product

will take & post soon
IT"S SOON

It's a joy to create with artists
that know their style &
want to make a project their own
yet, are open to suggestions from:
 supplies on hand
experience from others
purpose of project
workablity of creation
&&&&&&&&&&

THE LOVE OF GLITTER!!!!

have a fun safe trip, dear friends
& remember
"Why do, when you can over do?
Why just pack, when you can overpack?", F.N.

GOOD MORNING FROM THE HERB GARDEN       

Beatrix Potter

(almost 4 lbs.)

 loves the herb garden

& wasn't crazy

about the big loud blender

Today is the day for making pesto

with basil & parsley

from my herb garden

Add garlic, p cheese,

toasted pine nuts

first cold press olive oil

basil & parsley

in an industrial blender

&

oh, so very yummy

on just about everything

The chef approves!

a magical kitchen &

 some homegrown goodness

do you think the "chef"

will grill outside tonight?

(pesto is my dish!)

NOTE TO SELF:  make rosemary/orange pesto next!

arting the walls of the back stairs

still creating some magic

however & but

how do you compete

with this magic?

 Today is a gift

that's why

they call it

the present

& a household guest

greeting travelers of the back stairs!

Child's Play

a toy snow shovel from Maine

a toy lawn more from Georgetown

a toy shovel from Hico

counted cross stitch by me

an old toy watering can

a note from Harper Elizabeth

(missing her BB)

up the numbered backstairs

however:

still need a touch of magic

stairs starts with # 1

(need wide angle lens)

went back in the house
to get iphone
thought a better take a shot
of stairs with
dropped pearls
trompe l'oiel
(created by my Lil Cuzin)
(at my instruction)
of course!

as I think about this in my mind

- of how to magically embellish toys -

I'll post the results!

Yesterday was a play day

with friends

therefore,

today is work day which

always includes laundry

Oh, Happy Day!

 however ,because

of the newly made older laundry closet

When I played in Austin & Georgetown

I found this pillow

about normal

"Normal is just a setting on a dryer"

you've heard me say that many times!

works in this magical castle!!



How fun it is going to bee..

getting beds ready for the

MASC

(mutual admiration society club)

as we have 2 new members!!

might need to do some musical beds

oh, the magic of it all!!
