Vacation in the Florida Keys!

As we say down South, Hey Y'all!
I have been away for quiet a while....took time off for myself......spent some much needed time with my family.......and just got back from a wonderful week long vacay with my sister to the Keys!
I have been to the keys several times in my life and I love it....the color of that water down there is totally amazing. My sister, Katherine, who invited me to accompany her,  had only been one other time and that was when we were small children. She was so excited about us going together and sharing this experience! She chose this beautiful place for us to stay....Hawks Cay Resort on Duck Key which is located right before Marathon. I can't express how beautiful and charming this resort was. There is an family pool.....adult pool, which simply means no children....a beautiful lagoon to swim in.....let me share some pics with you:










 I swam in the lagoon every day and of course the "adult pool"...lol!

 The resort also has two outside "beach grills" where you can eat and lounge by the lagoon at the same time....my hamburgers always tasted delish!

 And, for the young and old alike, the resort also has a Dolphin Research Center where you can swim with the dolphins:
 I can never tell you how much this time in this beautiful place with my precious sister meant to me....so, sharing one last pic, of Kathy and I, I say.....
Blessings to you all,

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...
