BACK WHEN I WAS COOL AND AWESOME

 Friends, there was a time when I made cute things. There was a time when I didn't mind going outside. There was a time I did noteworthy things. There was a time I had creative ideas. Alas. those days are apparently gone. So lets take a trip back to when I was cool and awesome!

Here is a little mosaic of a leaf wreath I made. I love it so much. Too bad leaves don't stay. It wasn't long before the leaves died and turned brown, But I thoroughly enjoyed it while it lasted. I made it on a little homemade honeysuckle wreath . 

Here is another little wreath I made out of fallen leaves. This one I just strung the leaves on a wire and fastened it off with a twist of the two ends. You can see the leaves are already drying out a bit. But I love the colors that are showing and the simplicity of the wreath. Can't get much easier than stringing some leaves!

I need my creative muse to come back and steer me back to days of playing with nature in creative ways. I feel it's not far off. Blogland can be a great encourager. 

I hope you're having a great day. Thanks for stopping by! 

FRIDAY MUSINGS

 Hello! How did your Thanksgiving go? Mine was the just the very best of days! Two of the grandchildren came to celebrate with us and both my children were home too. Can't ask for much more than that. The preparations went smoothly and dinner was served with no fuss.

Today we got our Christmas tree. We had a huge selection, but the second one we looked at went home with us. It's beautifully shaped and smells so good. Probably won't get it  decorated until tomorrow and I can't wait to see it in all its glory. 

I hope your day has been restful. I'm just vegetating in front of the TV watching the Hawks play the Cavaliers. We're winning  so all's good in my world. Thank you for stopping by!

Happy Thanksgiving!!

 The day broke with heavy gray clouds and sprinkles. Nice. Some of my favorite weather to prepare a Thanksgiving meal!  I am right on schedule. Everything is ready except to cook the dressing and set the table. Yeah me! Well, yeah me, Sally and Don. I had lots of help this year. I hope the dressing is good, it didn't look like I remember it looking.  I guess we shall soon see! 

I am very thankful this year for my family, friends and church. I hope your Thanksgiving is running smoothly. Thanks for stopping by!

 Happy Thanksgiving Eve! I hope your preparations are coming along. It's mostly been a clean up day around here.  I have done a little prep work today, mostly getting the dressing started. This afternoon we took care of some kitties whose owner went out of town. Honestly, the cats couldn't have cared less if we were there. The air has a nice crispness to it today. I really enjoy the colder weather, love those fireplace fires and cozy quilts.  Looking forward to eating big tomorrow! Thanks for stopping by!
