A few shrooms for ya!

Hi everyone! In place of Cactus Monday, I bring you Mushroom Tuesday! LOL. I am so bad...it seems impossible for me to keep up with CM anymore. I worked the weekend too, which made it even harder.

I found these mushrooms that I had seen, on my camera, and wanted to share, as they are such a lovely shade of O-R-A-N-G-E!!! Yeeeeeee!



And as I looked down through my steering wheel yesterday at the end of a hard day...this is what I saw (and see every day as I am out driving for work)...my cherished succulent cross that my friend Mary, over at Pokeberry Patch made for me many moons ago! Lovingly made with skilled hands, carved and colored and waxed. I love the rough twine that hangs it too...isn't it just the best??? Thanks Mary!!! It gives me peace, comfort, and happiness each time I see it!!! It sure brightens up a dirty steering wheel too!!! (EMBARRASED).

Doggy Chop Up, Revised

I continued to play around with my abstract doggy, which I had started on last night (see last post). I chopped up his legs and tail more, and then scanned it into Paint program, where I added color and background. I think I kinda like it. This was a fun little project to work on. It appeals to my cut and paste personality!

Puppy Chop Up!

Don't ask me what came over me tonight whilst I was just sitting around for 5 whole minutes!!! I decided to try drawing out a puppy from a coloring book (belonging to the grands) by Lisa Frank, and cutting him up a bit to make a sort-of Picasso-ish thing out of him...well, I got his head chopped up really well, I thought, but the rest of him needs more chopping. I was going to color him in some way, but then I liked the white on white and the outlining of all the bits of paper after I glued him back together. I tried hard to think of another place I could stick his tail, but my mind won't let me go to crazy. This really aggravates me. I wish I could be wild. I'm going to try this experiment nightly until I can be happy with it. Just a little something different in a few moments of time I catch here and there...

Pokemon sighting at the beach, and EDM # 125...draw a bird!

We had a Pokemon sighting down at the beach here (OK, I made that up)...but here is my childish drawing of Pikachu. I used some Crayola watercolors to paint him after I drew him with my thin Sharpie. My first time watercoloring...pretty fun!

I decided to do an EDM this weekend, so I drew the bird on my husbands beer box! It sure is a beautiful bird, the Heron! Done with thin Sharpie and colored pencils. I have enjoyed some small and quick moments to sit, draw and color this weekend.

New way to fall asleep instantly!

Lay down anywhere and read an e-book on your electronic device...and you will be asleep in 5 seconds...at least I am!!!

As much as I love downloading new e-books from my public library...I seem to have trouble staying awake for them!!! No problem if I am sitting upright, but don't let me try to lay or semi-lay down somewhere. Oh no. Asleep again!

Yesterday morning, I woke up and could not find my new phone. I called it and it was ringing from inside the couch (yes, I had fallen asleep on the couch)...

My DIL and I both tried to reach down the back of the couch and couldn't get our hands through far enough...so I had to cut the underside of the couch to reach in and pull it down and out.

You wouldn't believe what I found in there. 5 binkies (pacifiers), whole sections of newspaper, tons of dog chewy sticks, and crayons.

We were really wondering where all those binkies had disappeared to.....I've got to guard my phone!!! Wish me luck!
