Queen of All She Surveys....Whimsy Folk Art!

Greetings Everyone,

 Well, it is a rainy night here in Southern Georgia....but, really nice at the same time. I have a wonderful little front porch at my new place and I love sitting outside watching it rain. But, I'm really excited about tomorrow. As, most of you that have been Following me for awhile know that my beloved Daddy is very sick and his health is getting worse every day....although he still knows who we all are, and can still make us laugh....watching our Mom try and take care of him every day breaks my heart.

 We have lots of help...aids.....family members....but, seeing her as she watches her husband of almost 58 years slowly slip away...well, it is heart breaking....so, us girls...my sisters and I, with the help of brothers, brothers in law, and sons in laws....are kidnapping Mom tomorrow for a Girls Day....all the guys will watch Daddy while we the daughters,  take Mom, "junkin" and out to eat at Olive Garden....

 So, in Honor of My Mom, who CAN DO ANYTHING.....I wanted to share with you my whimsy folk art painting I did of her.....she is Queen of all she surveys while still getting everything done...
I hope you enjoy it....

 Blessings,
Deborah

She can sweep and mop the floors, and can hang the clothes on the line..
And, can still look Beautiful as she does it!

    That is a really touching thing you are doing I'm sure she will appreciate i. I love sitting in porches especially when it rains there is something about the feeling of being outside in the rain but not getting wet !

    I love to watch the rain ... if it's a warm day and you can just sit there and watch it come down.
    I'm glad that you and your mom get to spend some time having fun!

DIY Zip Tie Bohemian Bracelets! VaVoom!

Image
Good Sunday Evening Everyone, Well, if you have ever visited my Pinterest boards, you know that I love Bohemian ANYTHING! The colors.....the clothes.....the furniture.....I'm an "ole hippie", what do you expect! I have seen so many things online, from clothes to jewelry, that have touched my bohemian soul, but, of course, for the most part, I can not afford to buy what I like. So, I resort to learning how to make it instead, and recently, I had seen these zip tie bracelets and just didn't think they would turn out like the pictures, but they did! Easy Peazy! You will need the large zip ties, your jewelry making tools, strips of cloth, jewelry wire and scotch tape. Yes, scotch tape! I took a zip tie and made a circle to measure the size of my wrist, but then just added a "smidgen"and then cut off the end of the zip tie and taped the circle together. I then took about a 24 inch strip of fabric and made a knot with one end around the zip tie circle and star...

Everyone Loves Watermelon....Right?

Good Monday Evening Everyone, Wow, can you believe that it is already the 6th of May??? I can't.....it seems like it was just yesterday that I  moved into my new home in February! But, I'm not complaining...especially after all the rain we got last week, the Sun was out today....there was a nice breeze blowing....and I had breakfast with my 2 daughters this morning, and my 4 1/2 month old grandson! It was wonderful, and I knew Summer is on it's way! When I was growing up, one of my favorite times of the Summer was when you could see all the watermelons for sale, and my Daddy loved him some watermelon! He would go to the local little farmer's stand where all his buddies whom were farmers were selling fresh local produce. He would load up the car with watermelons and come home. We would ice them down in a cooler that morning and then he would make us go outside to play! So, the water hoses were brought out and slung over a tree branch.....water sprinklers were set  ...

The Lady with Blue Eyes...New Folk Art Painting

Image
Good Friday Evening Everyone, Wow, it has been an absolutely beautiful day down here in rural South Georgia in my hometown of Waycross. The Sun has been shinning most of the day.....a soft, gentle breeze has been whispering through the pines.....just an all around great day..... and what better time for me to premiere my newest, and I think my best, folk art painting. I had this idea in my head for along time....I wanted her to be a little whimsy.....slightly "hippieish".... magical....secretive.....and special. I used both acrylic and oil painting....I had an old frame in my craft closet....and decided to glue the frame to the mat. I really love her....and proudly have her hanging in my bedroom....hope you enjoy her: The Lady with Blue Eyes I had said many months ago, when I started this journey of sharing my crafts, my paintings, my jewelry that I didn't feel like I was an artist. But, my sister said to me..."sissy you are an artist".....y...
