Do you remember me showing you a pile of fabrics the other day? Well, they have been turned into three pillowcases for grandies - 2 are going in the Christmas box and the Star Wars one is heading out in the mail to our oldest grandie as we speak.
And, because I simply can't help myself, I am embarking on a new landscape based on this photo....
Photo by Dale Stewart, and used with his kind permission.
For some reason this image really appeals to me. It's stark in a way because it's obviously in the prairies and there's no real 'background', just the truck and the sign, but it speaks volumes. I'm toying with a different idea for making the background...which might, or might not, work. Stay tuned!!
And, today my Resident Chef is celebrating his birthday (well, actually HE's trying to ignore it, but I won't let him!). He gets the night off from cooking because I'm taking him out for supper.
- Thanks to Maywyn, I have discovered THIS music video and I'm obsessed. I dare you to listen to it and not dance!!
- It might be fun to play around with THIS technique.
- Have a look through THESE!!
- Never let it be said that what you find on this blog isn't sometimes something that you didn't need to know but now you realize you do (go HERE for a good example!).
Today's quote is from Joshua Becker..."When you choose to collect experiences rather than things, you never run out of storage space"
Happy birthday to Resident Chef! Enjoy your evening.
ReplyDeleteI will share your birthday wish with him. We're trying a new-to-us restaurant tonight - we'll see how it is.
DeleteLooking forward to this one.
ReplyDeleteYou and me both!
DeleteHappy birthday to your Resident Chef today!! Enjoy your dinner out...hugs, Julierose
ReplyDeleteHe thanks you for the b-day wishes!
DeleteHappy Birthday Resident Chef!
ReplyDeleteNeat links. The paper scrolling is fabulous.
The One Republic, I watch the video at least once a day for an energy and mood boost.
He thanks you! Glad you liked the links and yes, I can listen to that video over and over (oh wait...I have been!)
DeleteHappy Birthday to your husband, I hope you both have a beautiful dinner.
ReplyDeleteLove the idea of the truck and sign quilt, I am looking forward to seeing what background you come up with.
Thank-you for the interesting links.

He thanks you for the good wishes! I like the idea of the truck with that dead end sign too. It's been talking to me for awhile so it's time to listen and do it.
DeleteYou did a good work with the clothes in the first picture for wear the bed. It is so good to know to do this artesany.
ReplyDeleteHave nice days this summer, with your loving family. Joy and LOVE for you.
Thank you! Summer is finally here after a very long spring, so we're glad.
DeleteHappy Birthday Resident Chef and may you have many more.
ReplyDeleteLooking forward to seeing what you do with that photo.
God bless.
Thank you - I will extend your birth day wishes to him. (and I'm looking forward to playing with that photo too)
DeleteBelated Happy Birthday to RC!
ReplyDeleteThank you - I will tell him!
DeleteI hope the chef had a great birthday!
ReplyDeleteHe didn't have to cook supper so he was happy!
DeleteGreat idea for those pillowcases. A belated happy birthday to the resident chef!
ReplyDeletePillowcases always seem to be welcome, particularly if I keep their interests in mind. (and Resident Chef says thank you!)
DeleteHappy belated birthday RC. Yep, that tune sticks in your head. Surprised to find its 9 years old. I've never heard it. Perhaps you'll make it popular now?
ReplyDeleteI will give your wishes to RC, thank you. And yes, that song is certainly 'catchy'.
DeleteWhat fun pillow cases! Nathan has a couple fun ones that he still uses.
ReplyDeleteI hope Chef had a great day being spoiled!
New pillowcases are a 'Grandma Make' every Christmas. I try to match them to whatever their current interests are.
