Who was ready for this?

-
Not the apple tree,


Not this tree that has not lost it's leaves yet,

Not the gerber daisies,

And certainly not the burning bush.


Not the snapdragons,


or the marigolds,

and certainly not these hearty mums

still perky as ever.


Not the petunias,

or the beautiful fall leaves,

or this little guy
and the impatiens
wondering what happened to fall....



And most assuredly...
NOT ME!!!!

Oh....I feel all mixed inside - your photos are so lovely - something tragically beautiful about snow on beautiful summery blooms - but there's something also tragically wrong about it.... We woke to snow flurries a day or so ago - thankfully, it stayed at that. SO not ready!! Stay warm ~ Happy Saturday! Robin

Not Me Either!!

No snow where I live, and it will be perfectly ok with me if we dont get any all winter long.

It is pretty to look at but YUCK to live with.

Stay Warm and Safe.
Hugs,

This just isn't right - somebody needs to call Mother Nature and complain!

When we heard about your snow I never even thought about the flowers still in bloom.
Love the photos.

Walker/Wheelchair Bag Tutorial

Some of you asked for this. This is literally one of the EASIEST, most appreciated projects that I have ever made. I timed myself while I made this one and it was finished in under 1/2 hour and that included refilling bobbins, taking pictures, and searching the button box for two matching buttons. They are even faster if 1.) you don't do all of the above and 2.) you make them on an assembly line. Step 1. Cut a piece of fabric for the straps 4 inches wide by 14 or so inches long. If you have a very lightweight fabric, you can double it or use press on interfacing to back it. Step 2. Cut two coordinating rectangles approximately 12 to 15 inches by 15 to 18 inches. This is very loose, you can use vary the size of them. Pin those together on the bottom and halfway up the sides. Step 3. Press the 4 inch rectangle in half lengthwise with wrong sides together and sew around raw edges, then zig - zag the edge. If the fabric frays really bad, you can go over it again. Step 4

Sharpie Markers and Alcohol = Really Quick Art

What a fun, creative process!  Grab all those sharpies that are hidden in your desk drawer. Find that bottle of rubbing alcohol. (Vodka or hand  sanitize might work, you can always experiment) Dig out a canvas,  or go buy some,  nothing like having some blank canvases hanging around.  Draw some wild and crazy lines. Fast and not a lot of planning work best.  Hit it all with some alcohol.  Allow it to move and blend.  I use a brush for the alcohol,  You could use a spray bottle or eye dropper,  I just want a little more control on mine.  And re-outline with a black sharpie!   That's it!  Fast Art!  I will be teaching this next Friday along with two other  fun projects in Mayville, New York.  For more info go to: https://www.facebook.com/ARTRetreatatthelake
