Police Sculpture

is this not the most amazing sculpture hanging on a building? I love it! hubby and I drove up to ride Monument and eat at Buz n Ned's BBQ on Boulevard. what a great day!

2nd Cut-Edge Page

here is another cut-edge page in my handmade journal.  I love Valerie's class on edging. adds so much to a journal along with flip-out pages.

and here are my two handmade journals - all colored and ready to go. I love this partial  quote "to imagine is everything." by Anatole France

Valerie's Mini Class

 my 16-page journal - the first page i chose to edge in a woman. i love this so far.

rocks and leather

i love these art rocks

and i am having a tough time covering over this leather book cover. can i do it? let's see!

In My Garden

i have two gardenia bushes, one doing great the other transplanted near by to do better. heavenly aroma.

my lantana, love rubbing the petals to the scent of lemon.

mr frog keeps watch over my 2 jasmine bushes.  another heavenly scent. my hubby loves smelling them all.

Hi Ya

isn't this carved man the cutest piece of wood. he is at Woody's eatery on Chincoteague island.  loved this place - great pulled pork, though that is not my thing i shared a bite with hubby. surf boards + stand to eat + old phone booth + so 60's/70s.  great fun

a new home

this property is for sale and i would love to turn this into a home. i think the buildings are so wonderful.
could i list that as a dream of wonderful proportions?!

Big Surprise - MacPro

my hubby and two of my sons went to breakfast but when they returned home had a big surprise for me.  a new macpro laptop. i was totally shocked.

and he even purchased my favorite color cover - orange of course. now to learn how to use this to my full capacity. my son - web designer - loaded all my classes on for me.

God's Creation

such beauty - during the rain last week I watched this woodpecker.

 

Glitter Needle Felting

i have this bowl of potpourri sitting on my table. i used it to interpret my may tag on FAT. the idea to take a photograph of something and interpret it however you wanted.

i

wish i had kept all the pieces together and added more of them. ok try again. this tag is headed to CA.  i used Angelina and crystalline needle felting and glitter.

here is a tag using angelina and crystalina needle felting, a piece of word selvage, few beads and handstitched edging.  i was inspired from a beautiful rose bush in downtown Chincoteague.

i could not stop taking snapshots of all the beautiful rose bushes. now hubby wants a few in our front yard.

are these not wonderful to gaze upon! does this mean more planting for me? lol i included a closeup of some of the sparkle from the crystalina in the flower tag.
