Snowmen Family For Mama!

Happy Sunday Evening Everyone,
It is a very rainy and windy evening here in rural South Georgia! I'm not going to complain because we need the rain. So, let me tell you a few things about my Mama...first, she has been married to my Daddy for 59 years! Can you believe it! You hardly ever hear of marriages lasting that long now of days, and I have to admit....she needs a Crown for living with my Daddy all these years! Just joking!

She has been the best wife to Daddy, the most awesome Mama to us four children, the most wonderful to her eight grandchildren, and the most supreme GG to her two great-grandchildren! For, the past several years, she has been the main caretaker for my Daddy who is severely disabled now.....and she does every day without question. I so remember when Christmas came around she loved getting the house ready for all of us to come home......and now, she can't do everything she use to. 

As most of you know, last weekend I participated in a wonderful Christmas Craft Show. I had been painting and crafting for several weeks. I had used  an old cabinet door and painted a snowman on it, and it sold at the show, which I was excited about. But, I didn't know until after the show, that snowman painting had been my Mama's favorite, So, this week I got busy painting her a snowman painting. All i had was a rather large piece of wood, so I decided to paint a snowman family....representing my Daddy, in blue....Mama, in green, her favorite color, and her great granddaughter, Kenzley in pink, and Alan, her great grandson in blue like GDaddy! I gave it to her this week and I would give a million dollars for her smile when she saw it:


 

 
 I Just love it and I know she loved it also....I'm so thankful for her every day! Love you Mama!

 Blessings,
Deborah

DIY Zip Tie Bohemian Bracelets! VaVoom!

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
