Blah!
That's what I have been for over a week...
well, not really me so much...
~
The weather.
When it's like this, I just don't want to do anything (creative, that is)!
I've been waiting for a sunny day to take good photos
for my Moon Brooch tutorial, and it just hasn't happened.
:^(
~
~
Last week when so much of the country, from Arizona and Texas on east
got SNOW
~
We got a tiny little bit of ice. Enough to slip around on if you weren't careful.
But not pretty.
I wanted just ONE more snow day!
I think we've had one school "snow day" this year...
(I had to add a starry overlay on this photo for a little interest!)
~
~
I went out with my camera to try and find something frosty and photo-worthy,
but there just wasn't much...
~
~
I couldn't resist taking a picture of my "Green Man", though...
Look at him...
Don't you just have the urge to SNIFF? ;^)
~
The ice was all melted off by the next morning...:^)
~
~
One thing I have managed to do is move my "studio" to the end of the living room.
I have several areas where I could work, but I seem to gravitate to the kitchen/family room...
I was making such a mess in my spot at the end of the kitchen island, however,
that I was getting on my own nerves...
(That's bad...)
I need to be where the "action" is...so I can watch the news and monitor
the household's comings and goings... ;^)
And I just really don't want to be off in an upstairs bedroom or the basement...
Not right now, anyway.
~
The kitties love it when things get moved around,
even a little bit ~
They all stalk around like lions,
and sniff each thing, to see if it smells like our house or not, I guess.
~
~
Cyrus has decided that he really likes this chair...
~
~
I have an 8-foot work-table behind the love seat, facing out into the family room...
Now "company" can't quite see all the clutter.
The idea was that it was long enough that I could have different little areas
for clay and beading...maybe a watercolor "spot" for my ACEOs...
(Which I really should be painting...if you have time, look up "ACEO cat"
in eBay's completed auctions (under Advanced Search) ~ WOW.
Ebay is better for little artworks than Etsy, for some strange reason!
~
Anyway, that was the idea,
but as usual, I do everything right in front of me (no moving down)
until I literally have to stop and clear enough room to work...
it's like it all just sort of creeps closer and closer...
Does anyone else do this?
~
~
Here's the little "mini" Fairy House, so far...
I'm anxious to see what the little pine cone scales are going to look like on the roof,
but I have to get all the oven-firing finished first...all the little details...
or my hot-glued "shingles" will all go sliding off!
~
~
Tallulah and Cyrus looked so cute this evening...
They don't usually lie together like this.
They are on the loveseat right in front of my work-table.
Always close.
♥
~
~
I was trying to get them to look at me, but they were just sooo sleepy!
~
~
None of the kitties fight, but Tallulah often annoys Cyrus...
Then he will stalk her and get reaaallly close to her, right in her face,
and just stand there.
She takes it for as long as she can, then quickly swats him and runs!
~

One more thing...
A couple of months ago I happened to see these cookies...Coconut Dreams...
And I thought "Hey, those look like Samoas!" (the Girl Scout Cookies)
~
(I LOVE Samoas...ever since my daughters were Girl Scouts...I never even remember
when it's Cookie Time, now, though ~ we don't have anyone come "door-to-door",
and right now we have no one ~ family or extended family ~ who's in Scouts) ~
Well, I got a box and they ARE practically Samoas...and they lasted about 5 minutes!
(I've since read that Keebler and Little Brownie Bakers are owned by the same parent
company, so that could explain why they are so similar...) ~
So, a few days ago I was in the grocery store and thought about them again...
So I got a package, and when I got home, before anyone saw them,
I hid them.
In a lingerie chest by my bed.
About 4 o'clock this morning (my sleep schedule has been really off...)
I thought about them and decided I would have one or five or so...
the packaging was really crackly, but I managed to get a few out.
Then Mr. B. stirred, and I quickly pushed the package back in the drawer,
and heard ~
"HEY YOUUU!.... CUTESY-POO!....Yeah, YOU! ~
You are LOOKIN' FINE!!
(Yeah, doggies!!)
(Wild, maniacal giggling)
..."Did it hurt when you fell from Heaven?"
(I had forgotten that the Hallmark "Hey You" button
that I rescued from someone's trash
was in that drawer ~
(Long story ~ I have enough junk of my own and should leave others' trash alone...
but it was cute....)
It made me laugh....Instant Karma!
Good thing Mr. B is a sound sleeper...
;^).
Have a good Thursday, everyone!
Send me creative, "get stuff finished" vibes if you have any extra, please!
Love,
