Some progress


Here in Canada we celebrate Thanksgiving
this weekend....so...Happy Thanksgiving
to my Canadian friends!

 I've done a bit more to the denim landscape as you can see from this photo.....



Most of the detailing has been done on the house and I'm starting to quilt the background.  

- Barbara posted about THIS on her blog and I thought it was interesting enough to share with you.

- THESE made me smile, although I don't know how useful they'd actually be.

- THESE could go along with the snowman I showed you the other day!

- I can think of more uses for THESE and I expect you can too.

Today the quote is from Rumi..."Raise your words, not your voice.  It is rain that grows flowers, not thunder"

  4. That must have been amusing to see...the guys have a canoe split trying to get over that pretty falls. What people try to do! Anyway, this is such a neat project and as always, turning out beautifully. I have a friend who photographs abandoned houses in Newfoundland and some are really neat. I think of you when I see them. As always thanks for the links!

    Sherry of createology: Happy Thanksgiving Dear to you and Resident Chef. Your denim landscape is coming along nicely. I would think it more difficult to work with denim and the thicknesses of it. Great Rumi quote.

    1. Thank you - pretty low key celebration for us. And yes, you're right - denim isn't easy to work with. I made too many recycled denim jackets to count and finally had to give them up because the layers of denim were too difficult to deal with.

    1. The landscape is certainly different than anything I've done before. It's something I've been toying with doing for awhile.

    1. Our Thanksgiving was just like another day for us. It's not a holiday that we really celebrate as such now that our family isn't closeby.
