Boston Terrier Front and Back!

My precious furry daughter suffers from "I like my head covered when I'm sleepy and cold".  She will burrow like a mole whenever she finds a place to do it.  The dust ruffle on my bed is a great dark retreat when my little one wants to go to bed.  Obviously, her bottom is not cold....


but, her head and chest need the snuggly warmth of my bed.  Is that not a sleepy little face?


There is nothing more warming than your little precious so sleepy she cannot hold her head.  I do love this dog!

Finding Happiness!

"Happiness is not something ready made. 
It comes from your own actions."

Mixed Media Art!


Could not resist this little sliver of music...it is for a UKULELE!  First and foremost, I did not know how to spell the tiny guitar loved by Tiny Tim...so this was a learning experience. And, my knowledge of stringed instruments is minimal, so I have no idea if the chords are different...don't know...don't care. But, I loved using ukulele music!  Too cool!

Embroidery Art!

Just a couple of days of art....I've got to be a Mom at a volleyball tournament.  At the end of the weekend this is what I am going to feel like doing....just to...


"sit a spell."

Antiques...Find The Beauty!


Truly the best experience when you are milling around an antique mall is the unexpected. There is never two items the same!  This gi-normous...overgrown Paul Bunyan bench is crazy.  And, there is storage.  Basically, aisle three and four of the linens section of Target could be stored in this ever so simple bench.  I loved it....just would need a foyer built on to my house to house it


I love this little runners!  The colors and stitching....love.


This little bird was great!  The coloring was so wrong, yet so wonderful.  Very folky1


There is nothing better than a well stocked metal fridge.  


Happy lamp!


Such sad little dolls...but, they also look so loved.


Find the beauty in the strange...familiar and sad!

Quilts....Quilts!

Had to visit my mother for a view days....not a lot of healthy IT access where I go.  But, I did manage to steal a few minutes at one of the most awesome antique malls, Springfield Antique Barn

I love how they adorn all the walls with these beautiful quilts....massive eye candy.


Star quilt....massively twinkling!


Kind of like an orderly crazy quilt.  Hmmmm.


Feed sacks, glorious, geed sacks.....yum!


Log cabin pattern with this screaming yellow bench in front.  Great combo! 

I'm back in the blog world.....mucho stuff on the horizon!
