Santa In August!

Good Monday Morning to ya!

 It has been a very hot week this past week here in rural southern Georgia, and that started me thinking for for cool Fall air blowing through and that started me thinking of Christmas! See how that all came about....I know...it is 100degrees outside and I start thinking of Christmas...lol.

 But, I did, and then I had a flashback to when my children were little and I would take them to see Santa at the mall, or as we called him in our house...HoHo! Right...how original! My oldest daughter, AnnaBrooke, loved and still loves all things magical! I remember the look on her face while holding my hand and standing in line.....all the decorations hung everywhere we could see. "Elves", you know Santa's Helpers were so cute in their outfits chatting with all the children.

 AnnaBrooke's little hands would gently squeeze mine in anticipation as we got closer to that big red chair, and then we would be there, the look upon her face was priceless! She was never afraid and she gazed in wonder looking up at him......and all this started me thinking about what a child sees when they gaze up in Santa's face, and well, what do you think....



I just love him and so does AnnaBrooke! I plan on selling the original, but, making prints and selling them at the local craft shows. I think this would be a great gift for any family that has small children.....framing this and having it displayed in anticipation for Santa coming to their home!

Blessings to each of you and have a wonderful week!

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
