hello it's been a long time

Ain't she a beauty? been gone for a while, but i will be back here and there.

italy

been a long time.......yes i know. i went to italy for a while and here is a pic of mom and me on a boat touring around the island of Capri. it was such a lovely day.
this is my new obsession. pizza. no the real stuff.......so amazing.

it's not gold

so, what does this look like to all of you? no it's not a drag queen, it is wheat kernels from the field, brought to rest in a hole that has be dug in the yard. who do you think did this? wasn't me. but, i have been seeing a squirrel who is pretty active around here.

if you look close, there are quite a few kernels in there. interesting eh?

harvest

so, i decided to grow some potatoes, since i kill any plant that tries to live , i have heard these will grow no matter what. guess what? i decided to dig down and see what came up. woooooow! i was so thrilled. aren't they cuuuuuute? there will be more to come. and with the amount i planted, there might just be a potato coming your way.

craft show i am in

craft-in at the drive-in is this weekend at the newberg drive in movie theater. i will be there, and the show runs from 10 am to 6 pm. check out here for the vendor list. maybe there will be some of your favorites.

chair

my office chair needed some serious updating. here is the shell without the cushion...

here is the after. i put white on the seat, and this really cool batik fabric for the cushion.

my fanny is happy now.

spring beauties

i took some photogs of these gorgeous iris flowers in our yard. they smell lovely.

this yellow one is pretty stunning

this one i accidentally broke off the stem, but decided to include it, because the mottled dusty pink is a color that is hard to replicate.

i will have more coming. i have altered books to show you, cards, etc.
